What is it with teachers supplying drugs to schoolkids? Can’t they just get friends their own age? It seems the answer to the latter is a big fat “No” for a certain unnamed 28-year-old – now former – teacher at Epping Boys High School in Sydney, Australia.

The teacher is under investigation by police for supplying drugs – apparently marijuana – to a student under the age of 16. He was charged two weeks ago and will appear in court next month.

Employed for a year as a casual teacher at the school, he finished up in April after it was decided not to renew his contract due to “performance” issues. It was in fact only until May that police started looking into him, after some schoolkids had complained about his activities. It is still not clear whether the supplying of the drugs took place on or off school grounds.
