[su_right_ad]For the second time this month we have a drunk teacher in a public classroom. An Oklahoma teacher had a little trouble earlier this month, and now an Arizona instructor has a bottle problem.

Kathleen Jardine, 57, a teacher at Poston Butte High School faces one count of public consumption of alcohol stemming from the incident on Wednesday in the community about 35 miles southeast of Phoenix, said Sergeant Pat Ramirez, a spokesman for the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office.

Ramirez said a student called the main office to alert them that Jardine appeared drunk and was yelling at the students.

An on-site sheriff’s deputy responded and he could tell she was “extremely intoxicated,” police said.

Later, a school security officer found in her classroom a half bottle of vodka, an empty single-serving bottle of white wine and a half-empty bottle of an orange drink, police added.

The teacher eventually admitted that she had been drinking the night before, that morning and during lunch in her classroom, police said.

    That first Budweiser of the morning is always the best one.

      My father was a mechanical engineer at the Budweiser facility in Newark, NJ. He had a refrigerator behind his desk that was stocked. Then again, that was the 60’s and 70’s. LOL

        Ah yes, the 70s. It’s all a blur.

          I wish I’d known the 70s. I was just a toddler. That decade sounded fun.

            I heard that it was. I heard that I had a blast.

            Dont feel bad. So was I. I think this picture is more of the 70’s not the 80’s. But it still makes the point…

            When Open Carry referred to alcohol:-)

            This is true…. I did carry a Colt45 in my earlier days….

          Can you remember what this was? Or is that asking to much of your fragile memory. Or what is left of it … =)

          • Anomaly 100 August 15th, 2014 at 4:21 pm

            Oh I see, you want me to wake up out of my 70s daze.

          • Pistol-Packing August 15th, 2014 at 4:28 pm

            Is that even possible ??

          • Anomaly 100 August 15th, 2014 at 4:50 pm

            Nope!

            An adapter for 45’s or single records, since they were sold with big holes. You can see that the hole in the middle fits a turntable and can hold an album in place.

          The 70’s I tried to tell my son when he was older what it was like and he looked at me like I was crazy. ( and maybe I am)

    If I had to teach math to high schoolers, I’d hit the bottle too.

    • Dwendt44 August 15th, 2014 at 6:22 pm

      Considering some of those little monsters in classes these days, I can understand hitting the bottle. Of course, one should wait until they get home.

    Time to quit.

    • Eric Susee August 15th, 2014 at 4:02 pm

      Drinking, that is. Maybe teaching, too. But definitely the drinking.

    Its all Obama’s fault.
