    A teacher who allegedly chugged booze and hurled curse words at students during a lesson that she interrupted to have them dance the Macarena has been fired.

    Alice Ashton from the UK was swigging from a water bottle full of orange liquid which smelled of alcohol and blaring music from her laptop during the health class, one of her 16-year-old students told a hearing on Tuesday,Β reported the Telegraph.

    She also called students β€œlittle sβ€”ts” and β€œput her middle finger two to three inches” from another teen’s face during the β€œout of control” class at Ysgol Bro Caereinion school in Welshpool, Wales, in January last year.

    The usually β€œreserved and quiet” teacher’s classes on alcohol and drug awareness were normally β€œboring,” a student told the hearing of the Education Workforce Council Wales panel.

    But before the class, she was spotted swigging from a water bottle that had an β€œalcoholic smell,” the unidentified student told the hearing.

    β€œShe was very, very close to us. There was a slight alcoholic smell. She was very, very lively and quite animated and speaking with her hands. In other lessons, she was more reserved and quiet,” the student said, asΒ reported by LBC.

    β€œ[She] asked the class to make the Macarena. She played music and we were not doing work,” the student said.

    Ashton’s sloppy behavior came just four months after she had been convicted of drunk-driving, the fitness-to-practice hearing heard.

    The β€œwater” bottle Ashton had in her class was almost empty by the end of the class, the students said.Β 

    Ashton β€œkept jumping up from her desk” and was becoming β€œirritated” as the class went on, at point getting right in an unruly teen’s face, the student said.

    Ashton denied that she had sung or sworn at students in an internal school review, but multiple witnesses came forward to describe the chaotic scene.

    β€œShe got some students dancing to the laptop and speakers and it spiraled out of control,” a second teenager said.

    CCTV footage from the class that day corroborated the students’ stories, the panel said.

    β€œIt is totally untenable to suggest the music is being played as background music,” presenting officer Lewis Harris said, as reported by LBC.

    β€œThe evidence is very clear that Miss Ashton did not remain at the front of the class. She invited pupils to dance.”

    She might be quite rude. A little hard to tell:

    Maybe it's just me, but it seems that over the past several years I see more and more instances of 18-wheelers and other large, slow-moving vehicles blithely puttering along in lanes in which they have no business being.Β  Hey, you dumbass, slow-moving dipstick, get your ass over into the far right lane.Β  *That's* the slow lane, i.e., where your slow ass belongs.Β  And don't give me this shit about, "I'm in this lane so that it opens things up for people entering the freeway from on-ramps."Β  Bullshit.Β  I routinely see 18-wheelers in the center lane of 3-lane freeways even though the far right (#3) lane is wide open with no on-ramp in sight.Β  Or worse yet, I routinely see trucks in the middle lane of 3-lane freeways going about the same speed as trucks in the right lane, which means that two out of three lanes are fucked up and everyone else is trying to get over into the #1 lane to pass their slow asses . . . which jams up the #1 lane.

    And don't even get me started about oblivious slow-moving motherfuckers in the fast lane who jam everything up behind them . . .Β 

    I need to be the traffic czar for this nation.Β  I guarantee I would fix some shit up real quick.Β  Severe beatings for infractions of the types mentioned above would only be the starting point.Β Β  Β 

    Speed governors on semis is one of the biggest traffic hazards on the road. Gums up the works, makes people bunch up and get aggressive, contributes to road rage (especially mine) and I’m sure contributes to accidents.Β

    Kinda torn on that one.

    Part of me digs it. Hella little show off there.

    The other part is freaking out because it’s on a major freeway, and one little slip or oopsie could fuck a lot of people over.

    Come down too soon and shits now zooming down the highway at traffic, or he wipes out and severely injures or kills someone or himself.Β 

    Would have rather seen that on a deserted highway, so the only real issue (provided it wasn’t dry AF) was hurting himself and nobody else.Β 

    Not to mention open flames next to a gas tank is generally not advisable.Β

    I just have a stiff ass lower back all the time.Β  Have to stretch a lot before i can work out. Is this something the book addresses?Β  I need to do something.

    One million percent.Β  It will absolutely address that.Β  It has profoundly changed my life, made it possible for me to lift again, do regular outdoor work (chainsawing, moving heavy stuff, etc.).Β  Heck, I helped my son and daughter-in law unload their U-Haul two weeks ago, something that would have inconceivable 6 months ago.Β Β
