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.
