And if your teachers are getting razzed for something as simple as a few social drinks, then it should be up to the principal to tell those parents, that unless they have absolute proof that the drinking was out of hand and that the drinking had a direct effect on the teacher's performance in the classroom, then it is none of their business. Parents these days presume they have way too much control on teaching in general. They have to learn to mind their own business as well.

they have been given this power by the Government. Why you ask?
Because the government made education about dollars and cents. School administrators, superintendents and I will even go so far to say alberta education backs right down when they have a parent complaint. Why? because the government tied kids to dollars. When a school loses a kid they lose that childs funding as well. Parents know this! They will yank kids from a school because a) they can, b) there are a lot of options out there for parents now and c) government gave the parents that control.
