Asked a coworker what we should do (its not our area). She says the principal won't do shit but confiscate and give a slap on the wrist because too many reports of these kind of situations cause this struggling school to lose money.
Also, as I am merely an aide and the lowest on the rung, reporting this and being firm where I have no power could potentially make my superiors look at me as a disruptor of the status-quo (if the principal actually doesnt give a shit, "by the book" employees are particularly disliked)
Internally conflicted because if one of these dumbass kids gets alcohol poisoning it is on my conscience.
What do

Tell them to drink responsibly and not be so fucking obvious next time.

Kids getting quietly shitfaced at school has always been a social problem. You're definitely not going to put a stop to it. Rich kids get to go to some fancy rehab to dry out, but poor kids are just gonna keep nuking their brain cells no matter what you do. You should confiscate the bottle and maybe contact their parents, but you're not responsible for these kids' whole lives. Part of being an educator is learning to leave shit like this behind when you clock out for the day.

It's a lost cause.
A good friend of mine is a "teacher" in a Mexican area. Students throw chairs, hit, spit. It's considered "Abuse" to stop them in any way. It's rare that there's a student willing to learn or behave themselves.
On top of that, my friend was accused twice of exposing himself to a students. He was investigated, obviously innocent. The parents see a white guy and think they can make money.
You can thank liberal policies for this.
>>18713967
tell them to get the cheap stuff so they get something that tastes like shit and it discourages them from drinking for a long time

Hope one of the anchor babies removes himself from the gene pool, that's what.

Ummm just stop teaching them? We're sick of you crackers pushing school on us. Go away fucking book readers you wonder why we freak shit and throw chairs. We want to live life not read books about nothing.

It's probably a state run into the ground by Republicans.
Welcome to the hell that is office politics op
