Interesting question for y'all. Do you think that teachers should be allowed to teach their own child in the classroom?…

kkkk

My dad was a teacher at our school. Only my oldest brother had our dad as a teacher. Trust me my dad didn't show any form of favoritism. He sort of in a way expected more from him. So I say its fine, it just definitely depends on the teacher's professionalism.

To answer your question, yes I do. I think they should be able to have a say in who teaches their child just like any other parent does.

It truly depends on the teacher and how professional they are. I have known people who did have their own children in class and they were amazingly fair and impartial to their child while the student but others who should have avoided the situation bc they weren't capable of that.

My mom specifically said no to having us in her science class. :D

My friend growing up had a mom who was a teacher. They always made sure her mom wasn’t her teacher. There was one time her mom had to substitute and it couldn’t be avoided. I could see that being a bigger issue in a smaller town vs a suburb like where we grew up.

After reading the thread, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with addressing the situation. “My daughter didn’t want to tell you because that’s your daughter and she’s afraid you won’t do anything about it.” At the end of the day that teacher is still a parent when her day is over and she still needs to deal with behavioral issues with her children. Stop the possibility of that class bully culture happening in the classroom all year long by bringing it up now. Especially if she lives in the next town over and mom/teacher has an employee waiver, that kid will be in the same school all the way through.

No.

I think naturally one would show favoritism torwards their child, like coaches who teach sometimes shows favoritism to the player(s) on their team.

Small town here; this was always an issue when I was in school (the coaches) they would give special time and help to their players vs the regular students.

I’m from a small place and it happened when we were 5th/6th grade for rotation we did, but he didn’t have his mom as a home room teacher. His dad was the principal. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I could see it being a problem for small kids.

Nope. This is why we have grades A's and B's (1A 1B, 2A 2B, so on) my one teacher wasn't allowed to teach his niece so she was the opposite letter.

@ekko have you ever seen this before? How does it work out

Reason i'm asking I picked Jerri up and she told me a girls was being mean to her all day so i asked if she told the teacher she said no can't because the teacher her mommy and she scared to. i knew when i heard that her daughter was going to be in the class problems would come

It depends on the age. In high school I've seen it before (although I'm not sure how the grading worked out)...I would say age 14 and under though is a recipe for disaster. Especially in elementary school when the children are still learning new social behaviors and seeking out the comfort of a parent may cause the child not to gain age appropriate independence.

No. That’s what homeschooling is for.

If it’s the only option yeah but if it can be avoided then I don’t think they should.

Like my town only has 1 elementary school. 2 classes of each grade but the kids rotate teachers for certain subjects wether they are advanced learners or on level. So the kid might be with their parent as a teacher at some point during the year.

I do not know. Mmm🤔

My granny taught me 🤷🏽‍♀️

No
