Dating a teacher

[Joanner5]

Just wondering if it's against the rules to ask out a teacher whos teaching ur child?

Don't do it. Please.....just don't. It'll be awkward whatever the outcome.

I don't think i could but its not just one sided i no he likes me as well

No x infinity

Wait until they are no longer teaching your child and then ask them out.

Are you kidding?

They wont teach them forever. Just wait.

hmmwhatatodo. Do u have a problem!?

i no he likes me as well

How do you know? It would be unprofessional for you to date whilst they are teaching your DC.

Gosh that would be so awkward

He may like you, or fancy you but still not want to date you and if you ask him out and he says no, it's going to be horribly awkward.

Wait until your child leaves the school.

Have the conversation. He shouldn't date you this academic year, but find out if he's single / likes you/ will date you next year when his timetable changes.

But he shouldn't date you now!

I don't think you should date him (if he even wants to) while he's teaching your child. Kids can be cruel and that's horribly embarrassing.

How old it your child?
Probably better to wait

No op, I don’t have a problem... why do you ask?

You'll soon get fed up of him correcting your spelling!

Don't, under any circumstances, ask him out while he is still teaching your child.

That puts him in a very difficult position whether he's interested or not. Bear in mind he might say no, and you'd still have to see him at parents' evenings etc.

And he may feel obliged to tell other staff at the school. When teaching, I was once asked our by a dad, turned him down, and promptly reported it to SLT, a) in case he made some sort of complaint as petty revenge b) so they would understand why I didn't want to be alone in a room with him in the future.

Part of a teacher's job is to communicate effectively with parents, to try to bring them on board with their child's education, to make them feel they can bring issues to school's attention and ask for support if necessary. It is part of his job to be nice to you. Don't misread that.

How do you know he likes you? Some people are just nice?

It would be really awkward and he would look unprofessional

If it is meant to be wait until he no longer teachers your child

Troll

If you’re the fit dad to Amelia is my class, do it!

Seriously, really don’t. Do you only know him from school?

I'm pretty sure teachers aren't allowed to be personal with parents, I know a girl who went to my school who teaches at my sons school who I have on social media but if my son is ever in her class she won't be allowed me one social media etc

"You'll soon get fed up of him correcting your spelling! wink" 😆

How exactly do you know he likes you??
