If nobody knows about a teacher smoking pot on their personal time, I agree, smoking pot does not, in and of itself preclude a teacher from being a positive role model. However, I'll reiterate that I wouldn't want this particular guy teaching my kids because he's an imbecile.
So exactly what do you know, from the limited information in the article, about his teaching abilities and his students aptitude in the subject matter?

OK. I suppose I haven't been clear. If the students can't tell that their teacher is a pothead or an alcoholic and it doesn't affect their job performance, I don't care. Regardless of what you say, teachers have a position of power and influence over children. You cannot have teachers telling kids to avoid drugs and alcohol when the kids know that they've been arrested for possession or a DUII.

Surpised this is even news worthy, a few years ago a teacher a near by HS was bused for counterfiting money, and dealing drugs (Meth, E, weed, and a few others to students) to students. Didn't even make the local news.

I know that he's about as smart as the average crackhead you see getting arrested on "Cops."

Who said the teacher is telling the kids to avoid drugs and alcohol. The D.A.R.E progam has been recently discontinued.

You're making a lot of assumptions about this teacher, his job, his students and his abilities from this very short article.

You're giving teenage students far too much credit for perceived clarity. You're approaching this as someone who is long out of highschool (I'm assuming), which is much different than someone of highschool age.

If you met me when I was smoking dope you would never be able to tell in a million years. Mabey my tailor made suit and strict business demeanor would have given it away to your amazing ability to read someone.

Ah, the immediate facetious retort. Sounds very typical of a drug abuser to me.
Piss in this cup for me.

What don't we get? CRT's overly simplistic view? I've encoutered highschool students who can make more clear and concise points.

It always amazes me how the overweight and out of shape trainers at my gym are able to keep their jobs.

They primarily keep their jobs due to unions. You would be amazed by quite a few things out there! :D

All I know is that if I had kids in school, I certainly wouldn't want their teacher to be smoking pot.

If you read and fully comprehended my post, you'd be amazed to discover that I was talking about trainers at my gym and not gym teachers. I've yet to meet a personal trainer who was part of a union.

most of them do some kind of drug. if it isn't mj or alcohol it's xanax, prozac or ambien. teachers are on meds or other substances just as much as the gen pop.

What is important is this "teacher" admits doing drugs and being a "teacher", has a responsibility, whether they like it or not of being a "role model for kids".



Bottom line: Teacher who does illegal drugs teaches our kids. Would you want that kind of role model for your kids? If you have kids.

Clearly this teacher is in the wrong profession.
I wouldn't have any problem with him teaching my daughter. What he's doing on his own time is his business. It's not like he was teaching the kids how to roll their own.

I'm so glad Texas has the manpower and money to search the school and find the teacher who is a potsmoker. I wonder how many illegals attend school in Texas?

You sound like another winner, just like Nixon - lol. What he does on his own time is his choice, if he's a good teacher, I see no problem.

I see no problem.
..blinded by the fog of drugs I'll bet.

..there's plenty of good teachers that aren't dopers.

At least his so called "fog of drugs" isn't as dense as your ignorance.
From your responses, it's obvious you've totally ate up all the propganda you've been fed throughout school, and you probably take whatever authorities you've ever had as the infalliable truth.
Well you like authority? How's this. Some of the greatest thinkers of our time, Nobel Prize Physicist Richard Feynman, and astronomer Carl Sagan, both experimented with several illegal and hallucinogenic drugs. Both produced some of the most creative and ingenius works in their field.

But according to your exorbantly simple minded, black and white reasoning, there should be zero tolerance to allow geniuses like them to teach?

What the schools should have zero tolerance for are the ill-minded lemmings of the likes of you.
