A former Teacher of the Year, and now a grade school principal in Florida, this character invited more than 100 teens to her house for a wild party and a booze-up (https://nypost.com/2025/01/27/us-news/florida-principal-charged-after-booze-filled-party-with-100-teens-thrown-at-her-home/).
Click the link and scroll down to the mug shots. Talk about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! Or rather, Ms. Hyde. She’s the principal of Roosevelt Elementary School. (Imagine having to see that face every school day…)
I saw one of those “everybody come over for a booze-up” parties once. It was a surprise to the people who lived there. Their home was invaded. Whomp-whomp-whomp! Motorcycles, and a car or two, on the lawn. Yobboes from all over the county walking in and out of the house. The pranksters had done a great job of advertising.
I thought the police should’ve been there quicker. A couple of us wanted to help, but what could we do?
As for the case in Florida–well, folks, we stand for homeschooling and place no trust in public education.
I can’t even begin to imagine that anyone would think that this was a good idea. I can understand moderate use of alcohol, but having a party for teens and serving alcohol is not legal, and poor judgment.
I’ve heard tales of wedding receptions where no one was monitoring the liquor supply and there were teens walking around drunk. Don’t people realize that this is against the law? If an adult buys liquor and serves it to a minor, they are breaking the law, and it’s not just a toothless old law that is never enforced. But then, for a teacher to allow this goes a step beyond.
Teachers used to be trusted, and trustworthy, but this has apparently changed. At least they are on administrative leave and, hopefully, they will not be returned to a position of public trust.
They’ll be back when it all blows over. The teachers’ union will see to that.
I fear that you are right.
If that principal really wanted to be popular with the young, she should have thrown the party at her house for the elementary school children under her supervision.
