Uh, didn’t anybody at the school notice her face and that unkempt hair? That’s emblematic of addict’s mug shots that are posted online. She looks like a street addict. How could she work as a teacher for 2 years? Didn’t her co-workers notice? She was arrested at the school and booked. I hope she gets some help and serious rehab. > **[Sapulpa teacher accused of bringing meth, heroin, prescription drugs, needles...](https://tulsaworld.com/news/crimewatch/sapulpa-teacher-accused-of-bringing-meth-heroin-prescription-drugs-needles/article_6af8554d-0f43-5a34-b211-813e4da49782.html)** > > Megan Sloan reportedly left her Facebook account open on another teacher's computer, which led to her arrest on complaints of possession or purchasing a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of > [@](#): > > Sloan, an elementary teacher, reportedly left her Facebook account open on another teacher’s computer.

She was teaching 2nd. grade. I’m surprised the kid’s parents didn’t notice the teacher. They must keep the lights turned down at PTA meetings. 🙂 Apparently meth addicts scratch at themselves while high. Leaving the obvious marks on their faces and arms. There’s been some rough looking mug shots posted in the past few years. ---

She was arrested at school and booked shortly afterward. That’s how she looked that day. The article only has the one photo. ---

Well, the school district has some explaining to do. They should do everything reasonably possible to ensure the people teaching our kids are vetted. > **[Sapulpa Administrators Were Told About Holmes Park Employee's Alleged Drug...](https://sapulpatimes.com/sapulpa-administrators-were-told-about-holmes-park-employees-alleged-drug-use-in-2015/)** > > We first reported to you earlier about 27-year Megan Sloan, a 2nd-grade teacher at Holmes Park Elementary, who was arrested on Monday for possession of hero ... > [@](#): > > Now we’re learning that Sapulpa administrators were warned about Sloan’s behavior as far back as July of 2015. > > A woman emailed Bobby Alfred, who was Principal at Holmes Park at the time, and explained to him that she’d observed Sloan visiting a drug dealer to obtain pills.

> [@thelurkinghorror](#): > > You know the heroin epidemic is getting bad when it is mentioned over meth. It not that heroin is on increase is epidemic it is people OD on it that is epidemic. Why heroin is in news is because of the people OD on it. What happening is main killer fentanyl epidemic. Not the fentanyl doctor gives you the street made fentanyl people are OD on it. Sure there where people OD on Oxycontin/Oxycodone and people addicted to it!!But with all the government backlash people turn to fentanyl and street pain killers now OD is skyrocketing. And some of this cut is making it way into heroin and now people are OD more on heroin now. Now days drug user does not know what is in heroin now. ---

I would certainly not recognize the signs of a teacher’s (or anyone else’s) drug use. Since I don’t knowingly associate with those kinds of people, to observe their appearance and comportment and compare it with people who are not drug users. Teachers have private lives of their own, and it is not my business to make guesses about them based on casual appearances, and to report every possible suspect to the authorities or their emplloyers. Is there any evidence that she was not an competent teacher, or that she exhibited behavior in the presence of students that would affect them as a bad role model? ---

This isn’t a case of casual observation. The sores on this woman’s face are screaming out at anyone that saw her. Her nose is one big oozing sore. A quick Google image search for meth addict shows dozens of people with exactly the same sores.

Great, now anyone with acne or eczema or other facial race is now automatically a meth-head… :rolleyes: It’s a symptom, it’s not proof. Granted, _in this particular case_ it’s likely related but please don’t assume _everyone_ with a skin problem also has a drug problem. ---

The headline was a missed opportunity. Should’ve been: “Second-Grade Teacher Busted For First-Rate Heroin.” ---
