Two teachers in Joaçaba, Brazil, have been suspended following the release of a video that allegedly shows them smoking marijuana during work hours. The incident, which took place at the Escola de Educação Básica Professora Julieta Lentz Puerta, has drawn significant attention after the video circulated on social media. In the footage, the teachers identified themselves while claiming to be smoking marijuana, creating an uproar regarding their conduct in a professional setting.

The Secretary of Education (SED) has confirmed the teachers' suspension, and there are plans for an administrative process to investigate their behavior further. Meanwhile, the local authorities, including the Civil Police, are being consulted to determine if a formal investigation is warranted. However, it remains uncertain when the video was recorded, as that information has not been disclosed yet.

This incident raises important questions about the standards of professionalism expected from educators and the implications of such behavior on their careers. The response from parents and the community is likely to influence future decisions regarding educational oversight and policies at the school level, particularly around substance use and professional conduct.
