Teacher said hello to my dd via Fortnite

DH and I were sat in the lounge yesterday whilst DD and her friend were playing fortnite. Suddenly both girls piped up ‘Hello Miss xxxx’ My DH and I looked surprised. The girls said we are online with xxxx and that’s his mum! Very odd! The joys of gaming in a modern world!

Well your post is misleading. The teacher didn't make contact, your child did. With the teacher's child. Harmless and the teacher was probably unaware. What are your concerns?

PristineCondition · 13/01/2019 06:31

For fuck sake no she didn’t, the child did

Iputthescrewinthetuna · 13/01/2019 06:34

Get her sacked 🙄

Or, if you are that concerned get your kids off fortnite! There are worse people they could be interacting with!

SD1978 · 13/01/2019 06:36

So they were actually talking to another child- and their mother was in the room. Slightly misleading title.

Bloodyfucksake · 13/01/2019 06:44

So the teachers child is not allowed to play fortnite just incase your 'more important children want to say hello, and their parent (who happens to he a teacher) is supervising?

If it bothers You, tell your own children to to talk to the teachers child. I mean, that would make you weird and rude, but at least you wouldn't be troubled by the word "Hello".

I'm a teacher. I love my job, I love the kids, I love my subject. Stuff like this just makes me want to stop.

Bloodyfucksake · 13/01/2019 06:45

So many typos in my post. I'm annoyed because my own teachers children are often treated like second best because of their working teacher mum. I'm sure you can work out what I meant.

explodingkitten · 13/01/2019 06:56

So your children chose to say hi to someone, what's your point?

blackcat86 · 13/01/2019 06:56

What's the issue here?? Your title made it sound like the teacher had initiated contact but that clearly isn't the case. The teacher's child was playing online with the children in your house. The teacher is her own home with her child and your children said hello to her through the name. So the poor teacher has had the audacity to be in her own home with her own child who is playing an online game. I'd bring back public hanging...

sashh · 13/01/2019 06:58

So you object to the teacher doing exactly what you are doing, being in the room while your child plays a game with other children.

I think the grip shop opens early today, you should visit.

Oblomov19 · 13/01/2019 07:06

Your post is offensive.
It isn't the teacher. It's the teacher's child. FFS Hmm

Oblomov19 · 13/01/2019 07:08

I've reported this thread.

TinyRick · 13/01/2019 07:08

Oh my...

I don't think OP was pissed about it. More so marvelling at how this can happen nowadays with online gaming.

There is no way that would have ever happened whilst playing Alex the Kidd in Miracle World back in the day.

user1483387154 · 13/01/2019 07:08

Very misleading thread title.
The teacher hasn't done anything at all

Hangingtrousers · 13/01/2019 07:09

My child goes to my school .. am I not allowed to speak to her friends outside school? Would make her birthday parties very hard...

treaclesoda · 13/01/2019 07:13

Your thread title bears no resemblance to what your post says actually happened.

Who would be a teacher? Apparently they can't even be in their own home with their own children without someone finding it strange.

Foxyscarf · 13/01/2019 07:13

You love weekends because you have free time to write bullshit on the Internet

EmmaGrundyForPM · 13/01/2019 07:23

FFS Op That's a really misleading post title. Its clickbait. The teacher did nothing wrong.

My mum was good friends with one of my primary school teachers. So my teacher had a lot of contact outside of school. It's life.

If you're worried about your DS being g contacted on Fortnite then dont let her play it

I was making a humorous point in the gaming section that’s why it wasn’t posted in AIBU.

Try to accept that people don’t always post things they are annoyed or angry about ! I just found it a little odd. Not angry. Not upsetting. If you wouldn’t then that’s ok too!

Sorry for posting- i should have read the small print that says ‘only post things that other mn will totally agree with. Oh and be very careful about your title’

WinnieTheW0rm · 13/01/2019 08:16

I rstand youooening post.

But the title does not reflect it in the slightest. And peop,e do of course take account of both.

And people strongly disagree with your thread title - because it isn't inaccurate, and because they find it implies a teacher striking up an inappropriate relationship with pupils. And it's OK to say that - not just post the sort of comments the op approves of (it's very pot/kettle)

Dimsumlosesum · 13/01/2019 08:16

No, more like "don't lie in your title".

DoingMyBest2010 · 13/01/2019 08:20

sounds like a Daily Mail article. Clickbait?

HappyKatieA · 13/01/2019 08:25

I'm a teacher (secondary), at the same school as my eldest attends.
My son plays fortnite.
I often walk into his room and the students hear me and say hello, I say hello back.
Normal.
Your post title was really misleading, I clicked on it because it led us to think there was a massive safeguarding issue. That's what pp's are upset about.

MsMightyTitanAndHerTroubadours · 13/01/2019 08:36

what's this? Teachers do not actually live at school and sleep in the Stationery Cupboards?? Hmm

chillydawg · 13/01/2019 10:01

These are really weird responses, OP didn't say she was annoyed or angry or anything!

Reaa · 13/01/2019 10:09

I just found it a little odd

Why is it odd?
