Dd14 plays the oboe in her school orchestra, with 3 boys and another girl. There are 2 oboe teachers at the school, one teaches my DD and the other teaches the older girl and one of the boys, the other two do not take lessons. The other girl is 16 years old and in the sixth form, and her and my DD have somewhat of a 'big sister little sister' friendship.
However, what is concerning me is that my DD has told me that this girl is very close with her oboe teacher, close as in she is Instagram and Facebook friends with him, and has his snapchat. DD has seen the girl snapchat selfies to the teacher...the girl also refers to the teacher by his first name and talks about how good and nice he is a lot.
The teacher is a peripatetic teacher and DD thinks he is in his mid 20s, and to top it off DD told me that this teacher helps out with the oboes in the orchestra, and the older girl lay her head on his shoulder for a few seconds when she was complaining about the difficulty of the piece. The older girl seems to think this behaviour is normal, so is this just me and my DD overreacting or does it sound weird to you?
I should add that my DD is reluctant to say anything as she sees this girl as a bit of a role model and wants to keep a friendship with her
