These teachers and their questionable choices

1 of these teachers is a mum at my DC school and she doesn't teach at the school. One of them is a teacher at my DC school and the other is a teacher at another school. They are all friends with each other. I'm trying to be vague as this could be outing.

I'm not really that close to them but know of their partying lifestyle. All 3 have children. They often go to raves, parties and do drugs. I found out last week that 1 of them held a party and couldn't find childcare so left their children in their home whilst partying at the bottom of their garden (which is quite far). They were all there and were all on drugs. The school mum host got people to take it in turns to watch the children. Often after they have been out and are on come downs they have their children.

I've just seen one of them has been to a well known event in London. Her whole family went including the children. She's posted pics and her youngest DC is asleep on the floor (it was held on the streets). I'm shocked. I just think why would you put your own needs above those of your children.
But what can I do? I can't actually prove any of this. Plus I'm not ok with them being teachers and coming into work on the Monday with a potential come down.

Are you just butthurt that you were not invited to the party?

I actually agree with you Op, drugs aren't a glass of wine they can seriously harm someone's brain & no they shouldn't be teaching whilst on a come down.

= I listen to bitchy gossip

If you have an issue with the teaching of any of these women, address that through the school. Anything else? None of your business.

Do you have evidence this is true?

How did you find out about the party? I'm assuming gossip? I wouldn't believe everything you hear. Hard to judge about the well known event in London. My youngest used to fall asleep anywhere- we'd often take a pic and then move him somewhere more comfortable.

Teachers are human too. If you don’t have any problem with their actual teaching (other than ‘might have been out on the lash the night before’) then mind your own business.

BrigadierEtienneGerard · 27/08/2024 08:49

You can mind your own business. As you say, you have no evidence just gossip.

Having guests in the garden and a rota to watch the children sleeping in the house, strikes me as perfectly reasonable.

BTW, the London event, I assume, was the Notting Hill Carnival. If I had a £ for every child asleep there, I'd have enough for a holiday in Florida.

How do you know so much about what happens inside someone else’s house / garden?
