Teacher vaping in car

[KittiKati]

I collected my child earlier from school as they had a medical appointment and as I walked back to the car I noticed my child’s piano teacher vaping in her car. There was no one else about but would this bother you?

Absolutely none of your business. They were in their car. Massive, massive overreaction on your part. Wind your neck in OP.

Even if they were smoking in their own car, not brilliant to go back smelling of smoke but obviously needing the break. And not in school.

She is not a Victorian household servant, you know. It is none of your business,

Had she been smoking in her own car it would still not have been your business unless the school had a policy of no smoking within the school grounds. I often wonder if these hyper critical parents are as beyond reproach in their own lives, I assume your poor child never sees you drink wine or hears you use some of the words common on MN.

you are having a giraffe come on take a chill pill

Least we’ve moved on from the days where we had those chocolate cigarettes! We looked well hard!

ExHs school in NI had a smoking room.

for the pupils

I work in an primary school in the NL. I LOVE the pupils, each one of them. Even if they are annoying and disturbing the lesson, I love them. They are kids! They don't disturb to make my job harder but because of other reasons. I want to help them, teach them, show them that better behaviour will be easier for them. And it works! Even if t means I have to home tired after 10- 11 hours of being there, i dont mind. But parents make me want to quit. And the parents are not half as awful as this comment.

Get a fucking grip OP

You can call the non emergency police line for things like this. I hope you did the needful.

Jeez, let the woman have a wee cape in peace. She’s not harming anyone.

A vape, not a cape. Though maybe also a cape, for style.

You're not in Wales by any chance OP are you? Because it's not legal to smoke in a car, in a school carpark in Wales

Back in the day I think OP would have been one of the people who denounced their neighbours as witches to be burned at the stake if she thought they'd looked at them in a funny manner.

In Winter I would allow my Year 10 form to stay in our form room if the weather was bad and eat their packed lunch etc., I always stayed in my room for lunch. One Mother complained because her dear child didn't like the smell of coffee, would I stop drinking coffee!

I wish parents would take their responsibility more seriously - Maybe this teacher had just been bitten or dodged a flying chair? Maybe one of the students told her to F off?
Maybe she doesn’t give a shot anymore because she’s fed up of interfering parents.
Either way - none of you business.

What do you do for a living OP? Maybe we can snoop on you and check your aren’t setting a bad example?

@KittiKati Vaping is relatively wholesome, isn't it? It's not like she was smoking a spliff.

I'm old. In my 60s. Have never puffed or smoked or vaped on anything ever. But I m totally aware that other people who have interacted with my DC have. Including my parents, their teachers and and other significant influencers. They have also sworn , littered and blasphemed.

our kids live in the real world and our job is to prepare them for that. Not mollycoddle them in a fantasy land of adult perfection.

Surely she needs to immediately do a drug test too, won't someone think of the children.

Wow

Can you not report her to the school and see if you can get her sacked from her job?

Most vapers do it to try and cut down/stop smoking, don't they? It might look more edgy but it's actually a somewhat healthier alternative. I would see it her actually doing something to try and have a healthier lifestyle @KittiKati

@KittiKati has gone to bed as up early for school.
Lots of wind-up merchants on here lately.

It's the shooting up heroin into her bleeding toes I'd be more worried about.

I wouldn’t give two fiddlers tbh.
