not too bad. it's love, and love the child should see that love is more important than the fact of there teacher dating and possibly being married to his/her teacher
-
i Dont see anything wrong with it.Its a teacher,lol big deal.
-
I think it's a problem. It puts the child in a very awkward situation. School wouldn't put children in their parent's classes if they were teachers, so they shouldn't be allowed to date the parent's of their students. If these people really love each other, then they should wait a year.
-
Does it matter ? I am sure the teacher is mature enough not to let it affect the grades or the way they teach the student. Go for it i say.
-
If the teacher isn't your child's teacher, then I don't see anything wrong with that.
-
it's probably not a good idea but once the child is out of the class then i dont think that should be a huge problem. It's only 9 months.
-
well i dont think it is a good idea,if your going to do this move your child into a different school,im sure the teacher would not be aloud to do this,he may get fired for it

Um Zack's dad dated Miss Bliss on Saved by the Bell and things went terribly wrong! When in doubt, check with SBTB.

I'd say the parent needs to get out more -- there have GOT to be other potential romantic partners to choose from....
-
Well, you know the kid's gonna get some A's in that class. Is that a good thing? Maybe...for a little while. It might be a little weird, but I don't see that much of a problem.

Thats terrible. -Bud Greenly

the kid could reap some benefits as long things are going well free tutoring, instant A's etc.- beware the break up the kid could suffer some consequences instant F's etc.
-
I think it takes a parent completely out of touch with the needs of their child and obsessed solely with their own desires to do so. I can't imagine anything more uncomfortable for a child than this.
-
That would be hotttt. Ever seen Billy Madison?
-
I think it depends on the people and how the child feels about it. If everyone is ok with it.... why not.
-
Depends on the kid.
-
I think my kid is gonna get A's! :)
-
I think its great as long as there are no sleepovers or anything that is inappropriate that he/she might see and tell the other kids.

You mean, like, when my Dad started dating Mr. Brown? Not all the kewl for me!!! But, then, again, this is California! Oh, hell, go for it...why not?!? :-)

my aunt dated my moms teacher and had a baby(my cousin), my mom said it was cool because she got lots of homework help and special attention, then they broke up, but by that time my mom was done with his grade, so he couldnt flunk her out of spite.

Last school year, I experienced some very strange, unprofessional treatment from my daughter's teacher. There were unreturned phone calls, unacknowledged gifts, unkind remarks, a note trashed in front of my daughter, etc. I kept wondering what was behind this. Finally, my ex came clean and admitted to "dating" (read: sleeping) with said teacher. As a generally good father, I was flabbergasted that he'd put his "needs" before his daughter. This teacher scapegoated her after they called it quits. That's a professional boundary one just doesn't cross. Bad taste at best on both their parts.

It's much better than a married parent dating his/her child's teacher!
-
I'd feel for the kid. If the kid hated the teacher, I feel bad for them. But if the kid loved the teacher than via-versa.
-
Its not even an issue. There were a bunch of kids in my neighborhood who were in their mothers classes..teachers lived in the neighborhood too. Silly people would even make an issue of this..It's well past the point of being just something else to bitch about.
-
I have absolutely no problem with it. Finding a date is hard enough, and you should use the avenues available.
