I know it's an isolated incident and happens in all walks of life but it's not the kind of publicity teachers need now...

My feelings on teacher DWIs: People in every profession get DWIs. I would suspect the consequences are much more dire for a teacher than your average person, actually - probably fired from his/her job and will never get another one, at least in New Jersey. There's also the burden of having your name in the paper because you're a teacher (therefore it's more "shocking" for some reason). The average DWI might make the blotter in most papers.

This case is sort of weird, but whatever...

It only takes one bad apple to give all a bad name. Just as Gambler said people in every profession get DWIs. The only reason this is in the paper is because it is a teacher. Anyway it is what it is.

Did you read the article?

The women was drunk at 1 PM while at school teaching. She had twice the legal limit of booze in her system.

She better hope she is a tenured teacher....otherwise she may lose her job. If she's tenured I'm sure she'll be fine.

Well if a NJ teacher can keep her job even though oral sex is going on in her classroom then what's a little alcohol...like M & K said, she'll be fine...

Oh I know I am in no way in agreement with what she did and I am glad she was caught, she could have killed someone, and also put her students at risk. I hope the school seriously considers some kind of discipline action weather she is tenured or not.

I just know how some people are and will think that all teachers are like this and will start complaining, "oh this is what we pay our teachers such high salaries for." Since everyone has it out for teachers/cops/etc. right now, and they are convinced that they all live like kings on the "massive salaries." It is the same thing with police officers. People hear one negative thing in the paper about one police officer and think they are all bad/waste of tax money. What I meant by my comment was that it only takes one STUPID one to make everyone in the profession look bad.
