  Case: Teacher uses illegal drugs on weekends.
I was in my first week of my first internship and a neighboring teacher came into my CT's room and was telling her how she had gotten really high (marijuana) that weekend and is looking forward to doing the same the next weekend. My CT quickly changed the subject and we never spoke about it. Should I have said something to the administration?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Clearly the teachers judgement is lacking and those discussions about drug use do not belong in school where students could possibly over hear. This should be brought up to administration because her drug use and discussing it with a fellow teacher is a huge red flag.

Comments: I'm not sure if it's a red flag and also the persons CT isn't who brought it up or is doing anything. If anything she should talk to her college supervisor first and then her CT before doing anything else.

Comments: Not necessarily a red flag but a lapse in judgment as those conversations should be held in a private setting.
