Just looking for a little bit of advice with a situation I’m in at the minute! During the summer holidays I was out with a group of friends and we ended up with a group that her boyfriend was friends with, in that group was a Dad of one of the children in my class that I had just taught before the summer holidays. It was awkward at first, however, it was a really good night, we got on loads and exchanged numbers. I was hesitant to go out with him when he asked, worried about the fact I was his child’s ex teacher, however, after many attempts I did decide to go out with him. We have been out a couple of times since and we get on really well but again in the back of my mind I have that I was his child’s ex teacher and the child can still be quite clingy to me now, still drawing me pictures and loves seeing me around school. It’s starting to get to the point where if it continues the way it’s going I’m going to have to make the school aware of our relationship and I’m worried how this will be perceived. There is nothing in any of our school policies stating we can’t and I don’t teach his child anymore but I worked really hard for this job and of course that is way more important to me at the minute. Just wondering if anyone has any advice or if this has ever happened in the school you’re in? Thank you in advance.
