[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going back to the OPs question (not whether there should be a rule against drinking on the trip, but whether having a glass of wine is a fireable offense even if there is such a rule):

There are a lot of possible disciplinary steps before firing, and a glass of wine at dinner should be met with any of those steps, not dismissal. [/quote]
Nope. I am 0% ok with the teachers watching my child on overnight school trips have any alcohol.

My kid and their class actually *did* experience an emergency while on a middle school trip, with a hotel fire at about 1 am. Fortunately very minor, and all guests were let back in within an hour, but I am thankful that the teachers caring for 25 pre-teens full of adrenaline were fully alert. And I’d happily treat them to a bottle of whatever they’d like after they got home, they earned it. [/quote]

At 1am, I expect the chaperones to be asleep, and to be awakened by the fire alarm like everyone else. A glass of wine with dinner is not going to prevent them from responding appropriately to this emergency.[/quote]
