A Cumberland Gap, Tennessee man who has taught for years in southeastern Kentucky was charged with being intoxicated at school. Math teacher Thomas A. Baker, 48, was arrested outside his classroom at Bell County High School on Tuesday morning. Baker is charged with public intoxication by a controlled substance. School Superintendent George Thompson says Baker has taught in the Bell County schools for more than 20 years, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader. School board policy requires Baker's suspension while the charge is resolved.
Showing up drunk at school is bad form. Though in his defense chances are pretty good some of the students showed up that way too- or stoned out of their minds. And some of those kids left homes where mom or dad or both were brain rotted by some substance like alcohol or drugs.
Intoxication by various means is a huge problem and as long as it's winked at, it will continue. Plus, it makes you look aged well beyond your years… This guy looks 60, not 48.
