To think teachers shouldn't be drinking on trips?

[Newyeardontcare]

Dc just back from trip overseas. Apparently as soon as they were in their rooms the teachers went to the hotel bar. (The kids snuck down to check on them so they could all go into each other's rooms).Were also drinking wine and cocktails at dinner (before walking kids around an overseas city for an hour to their hotel at 11pm)

Is this normal? In charge of 13yr olds?

Dear lord I was being sarcastic!

Sorry, my mistake! Should read properly!

And also - just as an aside - as a secondary school teacher I can assure they do. Just not the diamond bracelets people seem to think we get

Although, as a secondary school teacher since 2002, I can assure you then, that most don’t. Maybe the odd card or something from a student but never in my experience, from a parent. Not in state but possibly in private. Anyway, by the by as I see you were being sarcastic!

Hm. I've been thinking about this today. Maybe most gifts I've received are from kids in state schools.

Anyway. Irrelevant now. Back to the point- glad that most people on this thread are sensible about expectations on trips!
