Waukegan teacher charged with smoking pot in lounge

If we had to teach high school in Waukegan, Illinois, we might have to take a few bong hits ourselves.

A math teacher at Waukegan High School was arrested earlier this week on marijuana charges after she was caught smoking pot in a staff washroom.

Police say Deborah Logan, 46 was smoking in a teacher’s lounge bathroom when security officers confronted her. School security confiscated about one gram of marijuana from Logan, said Waukegan Police Cmdr. Wayne Walles.

There is no indication that Logan, of Evanston, was selling or buying drugs from students, Walles said.

    I believe pot is no big deal though I also believe it can impair judgement. What she did was beyond belief and probably exacerbated by other things (stress, insanity). She got caught but imagine how the kids will view teachers after this experience. To the one that posted (to paraphrase) “the kids don’t listen. they are punks. they get what they deserve.” What the hell is that?! Who are you? What is your malfunction to talk about kids (who can be bad) but need reliable role models to be cool and teach them what cool is. It starts by being tolerant, …oh, and having good judgment–I almost forgot.
