If they're driving their children then that's a DUI and is reportable to CPS.

Notify the law. If it’s a drug free/tobacco free school, it applies to the parents as well.

Is there really anything that you CAN do about that? I totally disagree and disapprove of their choices, but are they posing a threat to anyone? If so, then perhaps let them know that you are concerned with their current state of mind and politely...ask them to leave? (I don't know. LOL)

Definitely call CPS. It’s the same as if they showed up drunk. We had to call CPS about one parent who showed up drunk.

The fact that they are high means they are unable to be fully parenting their children! That absolutely needs to be reported to DHR!!!!! If you don’t and you are questioned on the stand about knowledge to them doing this should something happen can mean the potential stripping of your teaching license! You are a mandated reporter and enabling their problem by not reporting!!!!

I just received an offer on a job I would really like to accept. The salary offer is about 25% higher than my current salary, which I am happy about, but is also the low $ on the range I had expressed to the recruiter and the exact $ that I put on the online application (I had to put a $ figure). Am I being greedy trying to negotiate for a bit higher? Do they expect me to counter? I have been burned by NOT negotiating in the past but who can be mad at a 25% increase??

Good evening everyone,

I have to rant and seek advice. It’s my 5th year teaching overall. I’m a 1st year at a new district it’s been really nice except for just some very small inconveniences: no classroom budget, too many meetings during planning time, printers are so bad that I had to bring mine from home, my district gives teachers chromebooks for laptops. I’m a a point where if I was invited to come back next year I’d say tell them no, am I crazy, is it just me? Please help
