Why does Fleming College accept teachers that let their students come to class drunk and stoned?

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want a person who's high coming out of college to be my nurse. My mom is in her 2nd and last year of PTA OTA at Fleming in Peterborough Ontario and she has students in her class who are supposed to be Physio Therapist assistants when they get out but they come to every class drunk or stoned. She knows that some of the teachers are well aware of this but still do nothing about it.

Yeah I understand that, it's a shame that students believe they're getting somewhere in life when they are really just for show. Hopefully we as teachers and peers can encourage or inspire the right thing to do. (After high school I'm going to university, then it's off to teacher's college). I just hope those people realize that theyre wasting a lot of time, and money.

Nobody is being served with this behavior. Think of the law suits that could arise from malpractice. Could the student not then turn around and sue the school for failing to properly prepare them to perform and allow them to pass even though they know they should be ejected for committing a misconduct.

If the students come to class, it is the responsibility of the teacher to teach them. Discouraging students from coming, or throwing them out of your class, is not likely to produce a high rating in student feedback, and that may have an impact on the enrolment in their classes in the future, or even their entire employment.

Even if the school has a policy against students (many of who are, presumably, old enough to drink legally) coming to class drunk, the amount of paperwork, etc. required of the teacher may not make it worth his/her while to do anything about it.

Its too bad that some people seem to have a problem with the reality of the situation. These are not children, but adults; THEY are responsible for their conduct, not the teacher/professor. Unless they are a disruptive influence in class, there is no easy way for a teacher to exclude them and, like anyone else, teachers may not want to create diffculties for themselves.

If, for example, they ask someone to leave their class, they might be sued; and the question then becomes, are they expert enough in the are of human intoxication to determine if the student was or was not intoxicated? Would they know the difference between intoxication and perhaps, the effects of cold medication without a blood test? Etc. It sounds like a great way to get your career ruined, for very little probable gain.

If a student in college chooses to waste his/her time and money, no one has the right to stop her/him.

An anonymous letter to the president of the college, cc:'d to the accreditation board would fix the problem.

Teachers aren't paid to police their students - they're paid to teach; and not very much at that.

College students of an "adult" age are still considered adults, no matter how juvenile and irresponsible they may be.
