Teacher questioning son

[chezmk1988]

Hi,

I need some advice as I don't want to go into school and over react. Last year my son had a male teacher at school. He's a lovely guy from what I know and is my son's favourite teacher. Last week this male teacher did an after school club which my son attended. Apparently according to my son, this teacher started to ask my son and only my son questions about his home life. His questions were as follows

• Your parents seem nice at school. Are they nice at home? ( there's never been concerns about us before and if anything I've been complimented by teachers on my skills as a mother)

• do you have any other siblings besides your brother at school? When answered no the teacher then said ' do you think your mum would have anymore children?'

• you have a dog don't you? Despite never having seen me with our dog and never being told we had one as it's only recent that we adopted one.

• has your mum got a job yet? Not knowing whether I already have one.

On top of this there have been a couple of instances where he's gone out of his way to run over and talk to my son after school etc.

Are these some inappropriate questions or is it me?

Teachers don't say things like that Frog, it's all in OPs head.

At best a teacher might have said "he's a great student" or even "he's an asset to the class" but no teacher ever has turned to OP and said "you're the best parent in the school"

Yes I know that Bookwitch, I was not being entirely serious

Head Teachers cannot "appoint" governors! So... as we know that that could not legitimately happen it does kind of throw doubt on the rest of your claims.

I don't really understand the problem. Surely learning to converse with adults (i.e. respond appropriately to questions) is part of a complete education? Teachers really can't win!

Yes, i call BS on this. Best parent in the school is frankly hilarious.

If you are real OP (doubtful), you are the reason Male teaching staff are paranoid. Teachers chat with kids

This^^

but no teacher ever has turned to OP and said "you're the best parent in the school"

People say it to me all the time. Not just teachers, but milkmen, shopkeepers, nurses, librarians...

Of course I have to pay them...

If this was in AIBU, we’d be on about 800 posts by now!
