To think DS’s teacher shouldn’t act like this?!

[TTLL]

Hi everyone. This is something that happened a few weeks ago but it?s been playing on my mind, I?d appreciate it if you could tell me if you think I?m unreasonable here!

DS started secondary in September at an all boys comprehensive. He had trouble settling in to start with and his form tutor was brilliant at helping him. She is young (about 22 I?d say) and an NQT. She is very nice and DS thinks the world of her. She went way over and above her call of duty for us ? spending a lot of time setting up counselling for DS , helping him to make friends and on one occasion coming out to our car and persuading DS to go into school when he was point-blank refusing one day.

She also teaches DS English and has been very thorough with marking (unlike most of his other teacher?s) and does brilliant fun lessons where they lean loads (according to DS)

She is very, very attractive and thus has a fan club in the form (there are older lads in the form too) so obviously she could bump into them at any time outside of school.

My problem is this; a few weeks ago DH and I went to see Coldplay, and who should I bump into in the Lady?s but this teacher. She said ?Hello Mrs TTLL? and we had a quick chat, fine. She then came and sat in front of me and DH with her boyfriend. (She didn?t see we were sitting there I don?t think though) anyway her and her boyfriend proceeded to snog like teenagers for the next hour and a half with her sitting on his lap It was like watching a pair of 15 year olds at the back of the cinema. Am I being unreasonable to think this is totally inappropriate behaviour for a teacher?! Any of the boys she teaches could have seen her after all....

I'm a teacher and I have to disagree with the majority. She should not be acting like that in public, especially when she knew parents were there too (even if she didn't know they were behind her).

'Quick roundtable READ THE THREAD PROPARLY'

Few people read the thread properly, they respond to your original post.

I try to read the whole thread.. It is a conversation after all. Unless it's 15 pages long.

Notice no-one's responded to my cleverly controversial point about PDA's above. I'm not bitter

Parents who are offended by public snogging shouldn't go to concerts other than classical, any sort of pub or wine bar or nightclub and should set an exemplary example to their children of propriety at all times.
I've often felt like posting a selection of comments made by children about their parents on our VLE, in order to build stronger communication between home and school. Plus giving the parents time to set the record straight on their shagging, farting and being pissed.

See, I just prove my own point. By ignoring defineme's post above

I agreed on the first page and accepted it!

Yabu.she wasn't doing anything awfull she was kissing her boyfriend in her life outside of the school

Maybe she's a good teacher because she's happy and has a life outside teaching. I wonder if she'll still be doing the job in 5 years time.

I'll be honest....my mum says the same type of thing to me! I shouldn't go my local and get merry...I'm a teacher and should be setting an example!!!

I do tell my mum to behave - I have a life away from teaching, its my job not my life!

Falencaryatid: You have read all the times I have agreed I'm being unreasonable yet you won't stop putting your little digs in....

And I hope to God she is because she is - as far as I can tell - a brilliant teacher.

Teacher-bashing is a blood sport on MN, you are by no means unique in your OP.
So I like to test my defences occasionally, in a general arena.

She snogged her boyfriend for an hour an a half while sitting on his lap. I cannot get about this. Sorry, YABU.

I would have tapped her on the shoulder and said "Oi, get a room!". That would have stopped the slobbering.

Op loads of people just read the op and reply, and to be fair you gave it up pretty quickly. Peopke tend to ask AIBU and when told yes, they disagree and flounce off

I am new to mumsnet and not teacher-bashing. I have the upmost respect for teachers.

You avoided what I said. I have acepted I'm wrong. You however have continued to dig and pick at me and think that it is your right - apparently.

Haha maybe I should have done Lynette!

Ohno: I came to ask - I accept I am

Fine. I'm off to plan my addition to our school's VLE then.

Yes you do that.

Sparkle281 it must be so hard to. Be a teacher sometimes! I think its good to can face up to being unreasonable and I do think you've had a few harsh replies

I think teaching must be one of the toughest proffesions out there Kali.

Can you imagine her face if you had have tapped her on the shoulder? I would be so :o

I clearly did read the thread properly op, hence the second post.

Another over reaction maybe?
