WASTIN’ AWAY AGAIN
HH found a real screw-up in ODonnellWeb’s backyard (Chris, why does everything seem to happen in NOVA?). Kids were served margaritas at lunch.
The school’s international focus this year is Mexico, so the day before the first day of class, teachers celebrated with nachos and margaritas after preparing their classrooms.
“The faculty’s not a big drinking group, and so we had the mixed margarita together — the tequila and the mix — and we put the pitcher in the back of the refrigerator,” said Headmaster Alexander Harvey IV. “Next day, school starts. Everyone’s focusing on kids and making it a good first couple of days of school.”
But on the first day of school, the milk supply ran out after two lunch periods, so students were served what an employee thought was limeade. It turned out to be the leftover margaritas and was served to third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students.
Joanne wonders why the teachers were drinking at school. Good question. That said, the school seemed to handle the aftermath fairly well.

I saw that story yesterday but I really think it’s much ado about nothing. None of the kids took more than a sip – big deal. It’s a private school – I don’t see anything wrong with the teachers enjoying margaritas at a teacher party. The mistake was not disposing of the leftovers. Baseball playoffs start next week and Pedro is pitching like crap. I have much more important things to worry about that kids getting their first taste of tequila a few years early 😉 |

I have to say it doesn’t bug me either that teachers were drinking at school. Heck, I woldn’t even care if they drank *during* school, as long as they could hold it. One drink=impairment is hooey. |

I missed the pivate school part. Yeah- they can do whatever they like. Heck- if it’s a Catholic school they might even have wine at communion. |

Oh, yeah. Since when did Pedro become Roberto Duran? I couldn’t believe his comment about the Yankees the other day. Man, they have truly gotten inside his head. |

What? CPS wasn’t called in? In North Carolina a woman got charged with negligence after her 18 month old grabbed a glass with alcohol off the coffee table and drank it. The cops were there at the time on an unrelated call and witnessed the kid drinking it. The catch: Originally the mother had put the toddler in a crib. One of the cops took the kid out because it was crying. They took the baby to the hospital and arrested the mother for negligence. |
