Teacher ‘got drunk in classroom after swigging booze from HOT WATER BOTTLE’
The source said she had been suspended since the alleged incident
A TEACHER was allegedly found drunk in her classroom after swigging booze from a hot water bottle.
Students at Perth High in Scotland raised concerns with senior staff after they noticed the teacher was intoxicated, it was claimed.
A source told the the teacher was visibly drunk and acting in a "nasty" and "obnoxious" manner to her pupils.
They claimed she had to be removed from the classroom by a member of the school's management team.
She was reportedly drinking from a stash of alcohol she kept hidden in a hot water bottle, the source said.
The teacher was said to be so inebriated she did not notice two children leaving the classroom to report the teacher, nor the pair returning with the senior member of staff.
It is believed the teacher was unaware she was being observed by the senior manager before she was escorted from the classroom.
The source added that she was later suspended for alleged misconduct.
The secondary school, whose motto is "Life More Abundant", teaches around 1,500 pupils and is located just outside Perth city centre in Central Scotland.
A spokesman for Perth & Kinross Council said they are unable to comment on individual members of staff.
