Teacher arrested for alleged drunken teaching | Metro.co.uk

How can they charge her with child endangerment and then turn around and say "The school said that there was never a threat to Neff's students,"?

Shouldn't she be charged with something like public intoxication instead?

    Does this mean that teachers are breathalysed now?

    As long as they don't start doing the same to WF members - hic.

    She had NO business going to school DRUNK! Frankly, I am SURPRISED that CALIFORNIA would have such a teacher thrown in jail! HEY, I'm glad to hear it!!!!

    BTW, they were YOUNG kids. She COULD have been a danger to them. The school almost HAS to say she WASn'T to mitigate any repurcussions.

    I don't know about UK law but I really doubt the charges will stick . Public intx well yeah... if you are drink and in public ... it's public intox. The fact of the matter in question is why did the school call the police in the first place. Usually in situations like that a teacher or other professional shows up to work drunk... the Person in charge usually pulls them aside either warns them fires them or tell them to have a nice day off work without pay.
