Question

Are primary school teachers allowed to smoke outside school grounds in NSW (in child drop off areas?)?

Answer 1

obviously, as long as it isnt illegal, not child drop off areas though!1

Answer 2

No smoking on school property here where I live and probably where you live, too.  Looks like you will have to get cancer...er, um, smoke.. off-campus.

Also keep in mind that the cigarette smoke smell on your clothes can give some students headaches and even make some of them sick.  This was and is the case for me.

Answer 3

If the school is funded by the government, it is illegal to smoke on government ran facilities.  

Answer 4

i doubt it

Answer 5

If they're off school grounds, it's legal. If they're on school grounds, they can be heavily fined. If you have a complaint, file it with the board or the principal of the primary school.

Answer 6

In New York State, drug use (including smoking) is banned on ALL school property.

Answer 7

i don't think smoking is allowed on school grounds even in the drop off area

Answer 8

Hmm...you might want to look up your county and state laws about that because that sounds very specific and it might vary from area to area..but I would assume that even if it's legal it might be discouraged.  As a teacher you're a very important role model to these kids and you must present a healthy image and unfortunately smoking could weaken your image.  Not to say you can't be who you are but I'm sure who you are is more than a smoker.  Besides, cigarette butts on an elementary school campus is a total juxtaposition.  It's a free country and smoking is prohibited on your own time on your own property where your students can't see you.  

Maybe if the high school is down the street you can walk down there during recess and light up with the kids who have already picked up smoking lol!  I dunno, just a thought...

Answer 9

i would not recommend smokin where parents can see you..

as a parent i would be *PISSED*

Answer 10

Answer 11

There is no smoking on any school grounds.

Answer 12

not possative but i doubt it

Answer 13

no

Answer 14

It depends on each state's laws. I remember in elementary school (colorado) the janitor would have a cig. every time that he went on break. and that was on the playground! so I dont think that the school board would come down too hard for it. I also remember a obnoxious little bot lied and said that the janitor (who was really a nice guy) offered him a cig. so i would not suggest it. i hope this helps.
