A teacher who allegedly chugged booze and hurled curse words at students during a lesson that she interrupted to have them dance the Macarena has been fired.
Alice Ashton from the UK was swigging from a water bottle full of orange liquid which smelled of alcohol and blaring music from her laptop during the health class, one of her 16-year-old students told a hearing on Tuesday, reported the Telegraph.
She also called students “little s—ts” and “put her middle finger two to three inches” from another teen’s face during the “out of control” class at Ysgol Bro Caereinion school in Welshpool, Wales, in January last year.
The usually “reserved and quiet” teacher’s classes on alcohol and drug awareness were normally “boring,” a student told the hearing of the Education Workforce Council Wales panel.
But before the class, she was spotted swigging from a water bottle that had an “alcoholic smell,” the unidentified student told the hearing.
“She was very, very close to us. There was a slight alcoholic smell. She was very, very lively and quite animated and speaking with her hands. In other lessons, she was more reserved and quiet,” the student said, as reported by LBC.
“[She] asked the class to make the Macarena. She played music and we were not doing work,” the student said.
Ashton’s sloppy behavior came just four months after she had been convicted of drunk-driving, the fitness-to-practice hearing heard.
