Pupil calling teacher love

Year 11 girl refers to female teacher as love. Not a one off, drops it frequently in conversation with her. ie. Hi love, how are you? Are you having a good day?

It just doesn't sit right with me but does it need reporting to DSL? Or do I need to get over myself?

I'd expect the teacher to correct her each and every time TBH, just becuase it's poor behaviour.

Agree with this. It's not appropriate in my opinion. But I wouldn't report. It's up to the teacher to deal with.

Maybe remove the broomstick from your backside and loosen up. Not your business anyway.

@JamSandle I don't think it is lovely for a pupil to call a teacher love.
I think it shows a lack of boundaries in the teacher to not say to the kid that it isn't appropriate.

Why would you report something so lovely?

Report it? On what basis? It’s a turn of phrase. An unsuitable one to address a teacher with but hardly worth reporting.

What would you report it as, a low level concern about the teacher?

I'd expect the teacher to correct her each and every time TBH, just becuase it'spoor behaviour. I doubt it's a safeguarding issue, but if something feels off to you, yes you should discuss it with DSL.

So this might be my daughter ... she calls everyone "love" ... I think it's a "thing" among some girls of that age.

I'd politely suggest that it's not an appropriate way to speak to a teacher; not sure it needs reporting.

(I'm assuming here that there is no suggestion that the girl actually loves the teacher, it's just being used as an informal greeting.)
