Teacher vaping in car

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?

OP, vaping is dangerous and I’d certainly never do it myself but it is no one else’s business really if this woman is doing it in what is basically privacy.

You’d have been horrified with a teachers staff room in the 70’s and 80’s. Door would open and so much smoke would billow out you’d have thought the room was on fire !!

Hmmmn so maybe I do remember this then!!!!! In the 90s that is. It's such a vague memory but I can smell it mixed with coffee in my earliest school memories

user12653085 · 25/01/2023 21:14

Ah for the good old days when the staff room was full of a blue nicotine-y fug and you could smell the fags and own-brand nescafe 30 foot away...

Depends on the school policy. At our place, teachers have to leave the premises to smoke (and, I assume, vape).

In all seriousness this is the policy everywhere I’ve worked, and most teachers I know who smoke go to great lengths to make sure they aren’t seen by pupils. And LOTS of them smoke, not just a few. However, if OP does grass the teacher up, all they’ll do is walk outside the school premises to vape on the pavement.

Oh Lordy Lordy
The teacher could have smoking in her car
Or vaping as she was .. who cares? It's her life...
It really is none of your business
No pupils were in her car
What in earth are you on about ???

Yabu

You are being so ridiculously unreasonable that I can't even begin,...

ButterCrackers · 25/01/2023 21:15

I don’t agree with smoking or vaping but here at least she was in her car by herself and not disrupting anyone

rumship · 25/01/2023 21:16

But was the engine running, it it was MN will have a melt down. 😂

viques · 25/01/2023 21:16

Oh flip. Outed by EtonMessy.

OK when I was a young teacher I smoked in the staff room, and what is more on Friday lunchtimes we used to go to the pub over the road.

And we used to pass packets of polos to each other in assembly. A three polo assembly was a good assembly.

I imagine it was still the same in the 90’s too !

L.O.l

Are you for real?

Is this a wind 😳 up or something 🤔?!!

Along as she wasn't doing a Prince Harry , into all sorts of 🎩 🍄 🍄 mushrooms,

Or

Smoking herb 🌿 Weed /wacky. Baccy

I had a teacher in primary who let the best behaved child that morning light her cigarette at lunchtime. With a match!

she was a great teacher. All the kids loved her, and worked really hard for her.

ACynicalDad · 25/01/2023 21:17

Her life her choice, not mine, but thankfully we live in a free country so she can do as she likes within the law.

Nemomarge · 25/01/2023 21:17

Good god, is this a serious post?!

KittiKati · 25/01/2023 20:40

Is vaping not serious then like smoking?

  1. No, it's not remotely as harmful as smoking.
  2. If she was smoking in her car, even that is none of your business.

Why?

custardbear · 25/01/2023 21:18

KittiKati · 25/01/2023 20:37

I just thought it sets a bad example

Apparently some have sec out of marriage too, and drink alcohol ...

Tiani4 · 25/01/2023 21:18

Maybe you should have changed your title to " Teacher who is an adult was living her life away from children and I saw that and spotted her vaping out of hours in her own time and in her own car hours -vaping - and I don't like it bc I m a control freak"

Nextlevelnonsense · 25/01/2023 21:19

@KittiKati - I had sex with a teacher once.....Shock

Even if she’d been smoking, she’s entirely entitled to. She’s sitting quietly in her own car. Mind your own business.

I seem to remember many years ago we had a teacher who would sit in her car in the staff car park and smoke during lunch.

It was against school policy to smoke on the premises so she had to stop.

LucyWhipple · 25/01/2023 21:20

Good one OP.

I hope you have already reported to Ofsted. How disgusting. How dare a human being do a human thing. When we all know teachers live in the cupboard in the classroom and aren’t allowed out after school or at weekends.

bloodywhitecat · 25/01/2023 21:20

My old French teacher was usually three sheets to the wind by 11am, he had a hip flask he kept in his teacher's briefcase that he used to swig from throughout lessons. Those were the days.

monsteramunch · 25/01/2023 21:20

Was she wanking someone off or racking up lines with the other hand OP? Otherwise I cannot fathom thinking this is a big deal.

SirGawain · 25/01/2023 21:20

I saw a teacher eating a sandwich. Bread has yeast in it which is also used to brew beer! Clearly they are well on the road to alcoholism!

I do regularly. And so does my DH. Scandalous.

MassiveSalad22 · 25/01/2023 21:22

When I was at high school the married drama teacher had sex with a history teacher on a school residential trip and ended up getting a divorce and marrying her.

Your head would explode op!!
