To not be comfortable with current parents as school staff

[FrenchDragon]

When my first DC started school there were two people working there who had children at the school (I didn't know this). Now there are two permanent teachers, plus another one who did permanent part time for the second half of last year and will probably again this year, plus is relieving. Plus another reliever, an office administrator and the caretaker.

One teaches her own child, the relievers have taught their own children. The school is zoned so they mostly live in the community as well. They teach their friends' and neighbours' children, some they have known since babies.

AIBU to think this is just not right? The school obviously doesn't think so, or the board.

My problems with it are lack of impartiality, lack of boundaries (there was an incident with drunk teachers going to a party at a parent's house last year, when quite a few school children were present), confidentiality issues as I'm sure everything is discussed, and it just feels inappropriate.

On the upside they are all very, very nice people and I'm sure are great teachers.

This school is not in the UK. Am not trying to drip feed but as this is very identifying, I'm trying not to out myself.

YABU, but it sounds as though the specific teachers concerned might have behaved unprofessionally, which is a conduct issue.

Living and working in a similar area means theres overlap.
When i first qualified as a teacher my friends younger sister was in my class. Weirdest one was a friend/acquaintence from a hobby being in my class. Now I teach colleagues children and theres been no issue.
Always behave professionally. Though that applies regardless of who the kid is.

My mum was a teacher in the primary school I went to. I have to say that if anything, it is a negative for the child of the teacher; I never got to win anything, or to be a house captain or anything like that because they didn't want it to seem like I was getting anything special because of my mum!
Then in secondary school, my dad was a teacher and I DID have him as a teacher because he was the only one to teach engineering science. I had him as a teacher for 4 years in that subject, and I never had a problem with it. It was a tiny class anyway for that subject, so everyone got lots of attention. The only difference for me was he could fire his ping pong ball machine at me or whop me with the ruler, which he couldn't do to a normal pupil! He was a great teacher. I then went on to become an engineer, and the grounding he gave me undoubtedly paved the way.
