Teacher suspended

A FEMALE teacher who fell asleep in a drunken stupor in a Year 2 classroom and failed to notice a student being punched has been suspended from teaching in Queensland.

In 2016, the teacher took Valium before a Year 2 two science class to calm herself after an argument with her former husband the previous night.

At morning recess, she took more Valium and mixed vodka with water in a water bottle before returning to the classroom.

She fell unconscious in class and teachers called an ambulance which took her to hospital.
