smoking is not a crime, just like chewing gum

it is personal habit

because gov't regulation prohibits smoking in public places, hence he smokes outside the gate

Well, you are right but:

1. those students waiting for parents at the gate will see it. The young minds may think it is ok to smoke since the teacher/school staff is doing it.

2. secondhand smoke effect for those standing too near or when there is wind.

Is it ok for school admin staff or teacher to smoke outside the school gates?

It could be a parent / PV...Did that person wear any identification which indicate he/she is school admin staff or teacher?...

I know you will say this.

So here is a teaching point for the kid : (1) don't smoke like your teacher; (2) teachers are also normal human beings and not everything teachers do are 100% legally and morally right; (3) normal human beings have failure too, big and small; (4) respect the teacher for his position and his authority; and (5) it does not mean a smoking teacher is lousy in teaching

I recall someone posted above that there are 28 SC families < 1km going for the 25 places, so yes.

Thanks. Not so bad, only excess of 3. Quite a surprise to me, considering NY is the top primary school.
