hnguyen+FollowNottingham teacher banned for beer in classA Nottingham primary school teacher has been banned from teaching after being caught drinking beer in the classroom and trying to mask it with mints. Colleagues noticed he was sipping from a blue can—suspected to be Brewdog’s Punk IPA—every few minutes, then popping a mint after each swig.

What do you think—should a single lapse like this mean a permanent ban, or is there room for second chances in education? #Education #Nottingham #SchoolNews30Share
