Teacher fired for drinking in NOLA

A high school choir teacher has lost her job after having 2 1/2 drinks in New Orleans, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports. She was leading a school trip and chaperoning students at the time.
Carol Burton said the Seattle superintendent's decision wasn't fair: "For some reason those two drinks seem to be more important than 14 years of service."
In addition, Burton let male and female students hang out in each other's hotel rooms, contrary to policy. Parent chaperones are not supposed to drink on field trips, but the nightly chaperone meetings were held in the hotel bar, according to a report in the Seattle Times.

Good thing she didn't have Bill Cosby as a mentor.

To her, they obviously were

The drinking isn't as much of a big deal as her allowing students of the opposite sex to be in the same hotel room, especially if they were unsupervised.
Still, she really shouldn't have been drinking, imo.

Sounds like a cool teacher. 10 years ago they may have let it slide, but not these days

Wow.
Somebody snitched, or was out to get her. That's ridiculous.

Dumb. It's after hours without kids around. I don't see the problem. Are they going to start punishing the adults for opening the minibar in their bedroom before bed too?

Shouldn't have been drinking in front of the kids...
Man, I'd love to hear her answer from now on when someone asks her if she's ever been to New Orleans.

Those kids are all fricked in the head now, bc their choir teacher had a couple drinks. Nobody wants to think of the children anymore.

If these meeting were after curfew, I don't see a real issue. But I was one of the cub scout dads with a flask of rum labeled "soap", so I may be biased.

I see a problem; you have to supervise this.

Well i would have made an A+ if i got to go into the felmales rooms.
She should be fired. Parents drinking, she is drinking, and not supervising

My thing is you are in charge of other people's children. Even though the meetings were "after hours", something could happen. A child could have a seizure, a fight could break out, an allergic reaction, etc. You just don't know. There are too many "ifs". If an emergency were to happen, you don't want to be slightly buzzed. Heck, personally, I would want to avoid the appearance of impropriety. I wouldn't want someone to question my judgment in an emergency, even if my judgment is still sound after a couple of drinks.

This probably needs to be a WYHI? Legit all the way.

Damn. Was she drinking to make her look prettier to herself?
