A second-grade teacher in Northern California has been arrested on allegations that she drove to work and was teaching class drunk.

The Sutter County Sheriff’s Office says, Monday morning, they got a report that a staff member at Nuestro Elementary School in Live Oak appeared to be under the influence.

Deputies soon showed up at the school and encountered 57-year-old Wendy Munson, who was in the middle of teaching her second-grade class. Deputies noted signs and symptoms of Munson-Swartz being under the influence.

    Oh yeah. I’ve abused other substances too, and I’d consider alcohol a hard drug. There’s a lot of misguided bro science surrounding alcohol too, and I think people tend to be in denial of how great a psychological and physiological impact it can have on a person over time. I accept that other people drink, but damn I’m so thankful that part of me is in the past. Have multiple people in my life who are drinking themselves to death. My brother for example used to be my best friend, but he’s basically a zombie now. I hope he recovers, but it’s absolutely something someone has to choose for themselves.

    Thank you for your kind words.
