In not sure if it happened during 3rd or 4th Hour today, but someone tried to put Hand Sanitizer in my coffee . I drank from the cup during 2nd hour, but was away from my desk for most of those two classes, helping students. At the end of class I sat down to take a drink and notice the chemically smell. I looked at my cup and didn't see anything but when I put my lips to the cup, I tasted it! I know i didn't get hand sanitizer on anything, because I don't use it. What would you do?

Inform admin for the record. Then, leave a “dummy” cup containing coffee on the desk and put the real one that you’re drinking from away out of sight. Walk around on purpose during hours 3 & 4. The culprit might be silly enough to try it again. You can outsmart a kid—it ain’t a fair “fight”!

The group of students that were in the class I suspected, were always conspiring something. I'm just thankful for the two who were always on point and kept me informed about some of the shenanigans

Pour it out! Have my coffee before I get there.

I would definitely address it and tell them that it is assault. That you could have become violently ill and hospitalized. Those types of antics are dangerous. Geez and admin should also address this. I would definitely lock those two classes down and not let them get up. Yes put away the hand sanitizer and lotion so that they cannot utilize them. Also tell the classes (ALL) what happened and the consequences. OMG I am so sorry.

The problem is there are never consequences for the elite. The ringleader of most of the shenanigans was one of the basketball "stars".

That happened to me when I subbed after student teaching. I make sure I have a lid and try to keep my eye on it.

Omg.. I'm so sorry! Can you think of any students who would pull a prank like that? I'm sure they didn't intend to hurt you and maybe they were trying to be silly but that's super dangerous, and worth talking to your students about. That is totally not okay

see my reply below

Keep a lid on your coffee? Put the hand sanitizer away or far away from your coffee. Think about why someone would want to put hand sanitizer in your coffee? Are their cameras to catch them in the act?

No cameras in my room, but I would not object to having them in my room.

That is illegal. You need to report this.

Of course, nothing has been resolved. I am still not allowing any privileges. Of course, one of my morning classes is so off the chain, I honestly do not know what to do with them

This happened to my son around the same time you created this post. He is a high school math teacher and does not drink coffee. A student put hand sanitizer in his nice pen holder and he discovered it when he went to use one of his pens. Was this some sort of TikTok challenge I wonder? We’re had problems with dares/challenges like this at the elementary school where I teach.
