Pity the substitute teacher

This has NO relationship to Cambodia, but some readers have
been teachers elsewhere and will find it of interest ...

The marijuana party episode is worthy of 'Cheech and Chong'

Here, extracted, is one substitute teacher's experience ...
[All jolly, jolly fun. Yes! But see the note below]

** Mid morning, a group of students said the teacher had told them to clean the walk-in refrigerator, so I let them do that. They went into the walk-in and closed the door, but it wasn’t long before the rest of us could detect the sweet smell of pot being smoked.

I went into the walk-in to deal with the situation and as soon as I entered, they all exited and closed the door, leaving me locked inside. I sat there fuming for about 15 minutes, then they let me out. I walked into a party in progress; everyone was high and they were cooking up munchies for all: omelettes, cakes, cookies—you name it.

There was nothing for me to do but relax and go with it. We had our little feast, cleaned the kitchen, and went on our way. **

NOTE: The substitute teacher who recounted this (quite plausible) tale was amazingly lucky that nobody spilled the beans about this episode.

S/he could have been facing along list of really serious criminal charges as well as the very real prospect of being drummed out of teaching forever.
