Hi,
which option is correct?

The kids aren't going to bed as soon as they have drunk a glass of milk.
The kids won't go to bed as soon as they have drunk a glass of milk.

I am really puzzled, because my teacher says the latter only is correct. But I've heard the former option as well. When to use the present continuous and when to use the future simple?
Thank you in advance.
