[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi,
If I have reason to believe my kid’s teacher is an alcoholic and [b]drinking during the school day[/b] (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.[/quote]

Not your place. And school is over.[/quote]

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

It is not her place. The end.[/quote]

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?[/quote]

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?[/quote]
Gossip? No I was going to flag a potential problem. I’m asking anonymously on DCUM not chitchatting in the parking lot. I’ll sit on it for a while. Maybe someone else has raised the issue. [/quote]

Yes, gossip. Your kid is the only one who suspects the teacher drinks at school, right? How does your kid know? Does your kid spend a lot of time around drunk people?

Have more skepticism. Or at least own the accusation. You don’t make such a cowardly attack on someone like that. In fact, it should be YOUR KID who talks to he principal about his or her observations. If you aren’t willing to do this, you don’t really have any grounds.[/quote]
