If I have reason to believe my kid’s teacher is an alcoholic and drinking during the school day (my kid suspected and then we googled her and found a recent DUI arrest), then who do we tell? I don’t think this woman is stable and don’t want to be associated personally with making the report. Is there someone I can call without revealing my name? I don’t think she’s fit to teach. Thanks.

Not your place. And school is over.

Wait, how could this be not her place? The teacher is suspected of drinking during the school day.

It is not her place. The end.

It’s not my place to report that my kid’s teacher likely drinks during the school day? That seems odd to me. We’re a community—she’s not my iid’s teacher anymore so it’s not my problem? To hell with all those other people’s kids? If a background check did turn this up, would anything happen regarding her employment?

Correct, it is not your place to report a rumor about a professional. The DUI will come up in a background check. But you want to gossip. In fact, you seem he’ll-bent on it. Why?

DUI does not always come up in a background check. It did not come up for MCPS guidance counselor, Colin Black. Public urination did not seem to be on the radar of MCPS, either. The final straw was when women he met on Tinder accused him of assault.

I'm attaching the Massaschusetts law for OUI "Operating Under the Influence." There, a 2nd offense can result in a loss of a teaching certification. Different states seem to treat a teacher's DUI differently.

DUI can be a red flag. If your child noticed behavior that led your child to suspect that the teacher is under the influence of something, you should definitely let the principal know. Maybe the teacher has some other medical problem that is causing incoherence.

Do people think MCPS should be flagging duis? Curious. They’re much much stricter about this in NY it seems.

Teacher don't drive kids

Not OP, but I teach in MCPS and I drive students when we take small group field trips and my club competes. DH drives 2-3 students home from athletic practice because they have extenuating circumstances.

She hasn’t uncovered anything but a DUI arrest. That’s literally it. And she better hope it’s the same person. Could be more than one person out there with the teacher’s name.

I am reacting to the cowardly approach of making an anonymous accusation. Nothing more. She should put her own reputation on the line when besmirching someone else’s.

"There is a DUI arrest of somebody with the same name and address as the teacher" is not besmirching someone's reputation, it's stating a fact (if it is, indeed, a fact).

I have less of a problem with that than the accusation of drinking on the job. And I still think the anonymous approach is cowardly.

Do you think the teacher should lose a job for a DUI? I don’t.

Who cares about Massachusetts?

If you send an anonymous email then you might not get a response if you go to the principal you might get a backlash. I know there are rules in terms of what you can share from Maryland Judiciary Case Search.

I think I would just have a face to face meeting with the principal.

Why?!? That’s so incredibly stupid and vicious. And if you are OP and this is your motivation, then no, absolutely not. You suck.

I think it's more vicious to willfully risk killing innocent people by drinking and driving but that's just me. It shows incredibly poor judgement and callous disregard for human life.

You sound like a despicable person. Your instinct here is to be punitive and wreck someone’s life. Shame on you. Shame.

True story: I taught at a school that regularly had holiday parties and end of year celebrations at a bar just outside the neighborhood. I refuse to pay for parking so I always walked over. One time, we emerged to find several officers pulling drivers over as they exited the garage. A coworker got caught. We tried to comfort her verbally during the process. She was 23 and skinny. Two rail drinks put her just over the limit. The arresting officer yelled at us: “I hate teachers.” I remembered him and experienced satisfaction when years later, he was arrested for DUI.

I can’t support drunk driving or being drunk at school, but teachers are no different than a lot of professions. Including cops.
