While I definitely get that she shouldn’t have left them sitting out, is it not the fault of the kids randomly eating other peoples food without permission that the food ended up being much more “not for them” than it already would have been?
Well, I suppose just cuz the article doesn’t mention the kids getting in their fair share of trouble doesn’t mean they didn’t, including underage kids in a news article is a hassle and barely worth doing when they are the main or only part of a story.

Have you ever been in a high school? You might as try to ask ant eaters to not eat ants. You might as well tell hedgehogs to not collect gold rings. You might as well tell leaves to not fall. No, it’s not the kid’s fault, it’s fucking candy in a school.
I don’t get what you are saying? The kids didn’t do anything wrong? Or they shouldn’t also be in trouble? I don’t get why everyone is saying the kids should be allowed to steal?
Yes I have been to high school, no kids didn’t steal food from the teachers in my high school. But even if they did, they would have been wrong to do so…
Is it really a common thing nowadays for kids to steal from teachers? And not considered wrong when they do?
I really thought the reason it didn’t mention the trouble the kids got in was just cuz including underage children in news articles has to be so redacted as to essentially be pointless unless they are the main focus of the article. Not that they are considered to have not done anything wrong nowadays.
Eating a parents food is a little more understandable, though still not something a kid should do without permission. Eating a teachers food, is down right actual stealing. It is different even if the teacher is supposed to act like a parent, though I haven’t heard of that being the case, if anything teachers are restricted from acting like parents to the children.
They may have some legal burden, but it doesn’t mean it should be treated exactly as if they are the parents in every situation.
But I did say it was fair that the teacher got in trouble, just thought it odd initially that it doesn’t mention the kids repercussions, til I thought about the hurdles involved in writing that bit of the article and assumed they just didn’t bother.
I dont agree with yiur reasoning that its partly the kids’ fault. Sure, it could have been avoided by either the teacher or the kids, but the responsibility lies with the teacher 100%. Imagine they left a bottle of vodka in the classroom, or a gun. You cant say “yeah sorry your son shot himself with my gun but to be fair he shouldnt have touched it.”
So, it’s your opinion that the kids did nothing wrong by stealing and eating the teachers food? They aren’t even partly responsible?
So the parents get their kids home and they are ok with the kids stealing the teachers food, the teacher shouldn’t have had food in the classroom since kids are allowed to just steal whatever they want.
I’m not arguing that she wasn’t wrong, I state multiple times that she was wrong. He’s arguing the kids aren’t wrong at all. I maintain the kids also did something wrong.

It is absolutely her fault. School staff operate under in loco parentis, meaning they’re legally acting as the parent while the child is at school.
Parents can and should be charged with negligence when they leave drugs in a place where children found and consumed them.

The kids doing something wrong doesn’t absolve the teacher of wrongdoing. They committed a dick move; she committed a crime.
What she did was neglectful, full stop. She created the situation that allowed a child access to drugs.
