Are teachers allowed to accept alcohol at school as a gift ?

[Anonymous]

You seriously can’t think of another more appropriate gift? Gift certificates, chocolates, something on their Amazon wishlist, a hand written card from your kid. Not all teachers drink alcohol. You can’t be so stupid as to think bringing alcohol to a school is okay.

I don't understand the pearl-clutching about this. It's clearly not meant for consumption on school grounds. My parents gave my homeroom teachers a bottle of champagne all through elementary school at the end of the year. Somehow the teachers managed not to chug it at school, no students were even interested in it, and I grew up a respectable, tax-paying, moderately drinking citizen. Honestly, what do you think is going to happen?

+1 Please do not gift alcohol. It's completely inappropriate to give to a teacher for myriad reasons.

Let me go to your government clearance job and gift you alcohol. Let’s see how that works out for you.

I'm not a fed. Sorry your work treats you like a toddler--I wouldn't work at a job where I wasn't trusted to comport myself like an adult.

When we give alcohol, I carry it into the school and my kids come meet me in the lobby and go distribute with "My mom says to definitely open this once you're at home and not at school" - it was cute when my daughter asked if she could wink when she said it.

you had me until the winking part lol

Hilarious and sad how obsessed we are with alcohol in our society, all while insisting it’s totally normal and teetotalers are losers. I say this as an occasional drinker.

OP, figure out something else. It’s not hard.

Has nothing to do with how to comport oneself. It is the law to not have alcohol or tobacco on school grounds it is the law for the safety of students Period.

One thing is for sure-- you're the one who doesn't know how to comport yourself like an adult since you think It's fine to sneak around laws.

I wouldn’t give an actual bottle, but a GC to Total Wine is fine if you know they like wine and/or beer.

People are being ridiculous about an unopened bottle of wine. Ffs.

When DD was in elementary school, I ran into her teacher at a bar one time. We had a little chat and I found out she was dating the gym teacher on the DL. When DD told me they'd gotten engaged I sent DD in with a bottle of champagne and a congrats on the engagement card signed by both of us. Seemed entirely appropriate to me.

Don’t let the troll win. Of course you don’t give alcohol to teachers.

My 7th grade social studies teacher used to go get high in his car every day on his lunch period, which was also my lunch period. Guess which class I had immediately after lunch? It wasn't unsafe at all.

Rule breakers and law breakers often condone each other's behaviors.
