REGARDLESS OF WHO WAS OR WAS NOT THERE, ABSOLUTELY NOT SHOULD THE TEACHER BE ALLOWED BACK IN A CLASSROOM!!!

I am currently in school working HARD for my teaching license. Why on earth would you ruin your career that takes so long to obtain? The cost of the school, testing, and supplies just to get through school are enough, not counting the gas money for in classroom hours that are to be performed. I hope this young lady will loose her privilege to be in the classroom with children who are supposed to be able to look up to her. I also pray that she will look hard into her life and find the answer as WHY she would allow this to happen. As a future educator and a mother,I would not want her in my child’s classroom. God can forgive us our sins; but what if there had been serious injury during this charade?

25 people in the home. 3 Teenagers drinking. This is not enough information to maker any decision on.
Were the parents of the kids there? Is the Teacher being ask to take a fall for the parents who allowed their kids to drink.
Teen age drinking party could mean anything.
The Media and Cops should not poision the possible jury pool with half truths and claims. The headline says teenage drinking party then 25 people in the house but only 3 arrested. If it was a teenage drinking party why were not all the teens arrested or were they ??

I hate half baked story’s makes me think someone is lieing.
