Oklahoma Teacher Shows Up Drunk and Pantsless to Her First Day of Work

Bad Teacher!

http://gawker.com/oklahoma-teacher-shows-up-drunk-and-pantsless-to-her-fi-1617231453

There are innumerable ways to screw up your first day of work, but some of them have a little more panache than others. A new teacher in Wagoner, Okla. was arrested on her first day after showing up at the school both drunk and without pants.

School officials called Wagoner police around 9 a.m. on Monday morning to report that Lorie Ann Hill, 49, seemed out of sorts and also was missing the lower half of her clothing. Police arrived to find her in an empty classroom, and determined, presumably without too much trouble, that she was under the influence of alcohol.

"She was found in a room kind of disoriented," Police Chief Bob Haley told the Tulsa World. "By the time we got there she was in a room and wearing shorts."

Hill admitted to police she'd been drinking, and a search of her car turned up an empty cup that reportedly smelled of vodka. Haley said, though, that there wasn't enough evidence to prove she drove to the school drunk, and no "credible witnesses" at her home, whatever that might mean. She was spared a DUI charge, and booked into Wagoner City Jail only on suspicion of public intoxication.


Now I see why the ed deformers are always attacking teachers!

..I did the best I could, crudely, with MSPaint. I still think the notion of this teacher having to "write on the blackboard" (like Bart Simpson) is a real hoot.

If she had more experience with school, she might have learned something.

which itself is the direct result of the shitty pay and lack of proper supplies.

The only way to get ahead of the curve is to supply panties!

A local (Muskogee) newspaper article doesn't even mention the alleged pantsless incident.

KOTV in Tulsa claims that she pulled down her pants after she arrived at the school.

This sounds like a fish story to me.

He taught algebra and by taught I mean he handed out mimeographed sheets of problems and told us to solve the problems. This man came to school with his shirt tails hanging out and dress shoes he wore like slippers. To this day I don't know how to do algebra.
