These teachers and their questionable choices

I think you are catastrophising based on you describing Notting Hill Carnival as if it is some cesspit of depravity where children don’t belong 🙄

You mean well OP, but you could make things worse for the children. Imagine the mothers lost their jobs and got a criminal record - how badly would that affect the children's lives. Some people can handle their party lifestyle along with work. Do the kids look neglected? You had a bad experience with your parents, but you shouldn't project on other people unless you are absolutely sure that the children are in danger, and have concrete evidence. If they are under performing at work, it will be picked up on in one way or another. Just distance yourself from them to avoid stressing about it.

And it's sadly very wrong that you expect any profession to be a "a pinnacle of good morals in society." Why? Oh, the hipocrisy.
You can become a pinaccle yourself, let others live their lives.

lots of people in all
professions do drugs - the doctors I went to uni with were some of the worst!

You say you’re not close to them, but “know of their lifestyle”. How can you possibly know a persons lifestyle if you’re not close to them?
You know they take drugs? How? Have you seen them take them? If not, how do you know? Someone told you? If so, how can you be sure of their facts? Sorry, but there’s a lot of holes in what you say - you are being extremely vague because, as you say, you don’t want to “out”, but to be honest, your presumptions are based on maybes, what you’ve heard. You’ve said “you know for a fact”, but do you? How? You seem unwilling to expand on this and use the excuse of “outing”. Sorry, but you need to be a lot clearer, rather than posting these veiled suppositions.

I sympathise, if it’s weed I don’t think people realise how pungent it is - and how common it is getting! Two people near my house (yes I’ve seen them in the garden and out and about locally smoking it), and it stinks the houses out in the local area. Lots of people are fed up, but not sure what we can actually do - one is a high ranking teacher too.

i guess being a Teacher yes they’re human, but like Police and Doctors meant to be on the whole a pinnacle of good morals in society.

I bet other attendees had responsible jobs, but no - we hate teachers and we hate women.

Get a life OP

It's against the Teaching Standards and you could lose the right to practice. Most schools have a Clause about not bringing them into disrepute too. I wasn't allowed to wear PJs shopping as part of my Contract 😂.

I'm not sure what you can do. You could contact the local Safeguarding Team, or the Heads at the schools they work at.

Mind your own business.

Everyone is entitled to a private life including teachers.
if you believe that the children are at risk I suggest you contact Social Services otherwise - mind your own business.

And teachers don’t have a ‘code of conduct’ that says they can’t party - where on earth have you heard that?

It’s absolutely none of your business what teachers get up to in their spare time. Just the same as it’s mine if your business what your doctor, accountant or cleaner gets up to. If you think their children are at risk then report them. Otherwise stop being a busybody.

The OP said she does not want her kids to be taught by teachers on a come down but has zero proof this is actually happen, nor any proof those teachers actually take drugs to begin with.

Your second point is totally contradicting. Surely if OP knew any children were taught by people on drugs, hers or not, should report it.

But in this case, many other people would have already known of it. But, shock horror, not a single person in their two schools clocked in somerhing is amiss includinz a few dozens of professionals- but OP who is not even in either of the schools to witness their teaching somehow knows about it?
Make of that what you will.

I am a teacher and I agree that we uphold the teacher’s standards.

you have two issues 1) their parenting and safeguarding their own children. 2) their ability to teach.

as others have advised if you are genuinely concerned about their children you have a duty of care to raise this. If you unsure you can speak to the nspcc.

2. you’ve said you think it effects their teaching. In this case this is simply hearsay and gossip. Leave that until it affects your child.

“Shame on you” 😂 brilliant.

Is this a parody of MN?

Have you reported these Hells Angels then? Or did you just come on here to feel superior? Not that you seem to need any help with that.

Well said OP

I still believe that anyone that has any sort of job around care giving, teaching children should know that taking drugs at any time is just not acceptable.

Then go to the police

Teachers are some of the wildest people I know!

@Getonwitit please read the post above yours. My reply to you would be the exact same as my reply to the flapjack.

You argue the fact that you can't see why alcohol is legal but drugs aren't but it doesn't matter why the fact is illegal drugs are against the law end of no argument. Would yo argue the fact that as a girl is nearly 16 it is ok for a bloke to sleep with her, how close to 16 would make it ok, a week, a month or 9 months. The law is the law.

@flapjackfairy no one claimed anything about understanding the law; I understand the law perfectly well and also have a wide enough understanding of the law and my own liberties to, as you call it, “pick and choose”, just as most of those who led the country for the last 14 years (and many others in protected positions) do. I’m not going to derail the thread with my views and opinions on the current legal system, particularly around the criminalisation of recreational drugs, nor am I going to invite you into my PMs to discuss it further because frankly, I don’t care what your views and opinions are. If you took away your sneering judgements when reading my post with the questions and read the follow up too, you would see that it was coming from a place of human understanding and not the bullshit laws imposed on us.

If you ever do happen to come across my real name somehow, feel free to call the police and tell them that I smoke weed. Maybe save my username so you can keep an eye out, just in case.

Well that would be a bit difficult under the circumstances! You were claiming you didn't understand how the current laws work so I was enlightening you. Should you have anything you wish to confess feel free to PM me or contact the authorities yourself. with the required evidence !

OP, if you think that children are at risk then you need to report this. You don't need evidence, you just report what you have seen and let ss decide whether to take it further. I feel that they would certainly be contacted, which would be quite a shock to them and might make them reconsider some of their choices.

But to be taken seriously I would try to unpick the actions that are actually putting children at risk.

For example - they are allowed to attend raves and parties, they are allowed to sit in the garden while the children are asleep inside and supervised by an adult, they are allowed to attend a street event and allow their child to sleep in a supervised, safe spot. You might disagree, but ss will not bat an eyelid at any of that.

But regularly taking Class A drugs around their children, having drugs in the house, being under the influence of drugs whilst teaching, will be taken seriously so I'd stick to that.

🙄 Report me then.
