Sorry, aspy, I just couldn't resist. Right, well those replies were erm I expected this response in a way I happen to have become attracted to a man that also happens to be my child's teacher. This happens to other women so why am I being classed as immature? What I'm asking, is how to get to know him better; I'm on the PTFA at the moment but obviously not going to be spending any time talking to him during my duties running the xmas fayre stall for example So if I want to get to know him, how do I go about it?
Just thought those in the teaching profession might have some useful advice on what is acceptable and what isn't. Parents evenings can be a bit like speed dating - you know, five minutes to make an impression before you move on. Seriously though, assuming you want to be a TA for all the right reasons, maybe that will provide a better opportunity for casual conversation than anything the school calendar is likely to offer you as a parent.
The poor sod's probably too busy with all his marking and planning to have a social life outside school. Dunteachin , Dec 6, Thanks, I see your point but to be fair I did state in my OP that I wasn't planning on doing anything whilst my son was in his class.

No TA jobs will be coming up anytime soon so I was really just wondering if I would be able to talk to him about more than just my child - that's what I meant about laying the foundations I'm really not planning to make my 'crush' known or anything like that until way after Sept next year, but would like to find out whether there is any attraction there on his part; which I can only do by talking to him.
Would it be unacceptable for example to ask if he has any plans for the weekend?
Obviously away from the other parents, obviously. This reminds me of my last school.
Honest opinions/advice needed RE: parent/teacher relationships | TES Community
There was a teacher who was working in a reception class and one of the less appealing parents asked him out. Naturally he refused, however the story followed the child up the school and then when she started volunteering at the school, it was muttered and giggled about all over the place. I'd be SO uncomfortable if a parent asked me out. I've had one hang around after school to talk to me, and sit and stare at me during his child's nativity- awkwaaaard!
Even if he feels the same I think it is very unlikely that he will allow anything to happen whilst he is teaching your child. Just something to consider, but could it be a crush in the same way a patient may develop a crush on their doctor, as he has been supporting you through a very difficult time? I have said several times that I wouldnt pursue anything whilst he was teaching my child.
Honest opinions/advice needed RE: parent/teacher relationships
I wanted to just get to know the guy a bit better, that's all. So if I were a teacher saying I'd developed a crush on a parent, would that be ok? Because you all seem to be coming across as very patronising toward me, and I am wondering as though you think I'm somehow 'not good enough' for him; despite not knowing me, or the teacher concerned! I'm not an 'unnappealing' person, am quite attractive with a great personality and yes may be a single mother, but I'm a very hard working one with career goals This teacher is around 28 going on what he's told me about the length of time he's been in teaching, what age he started teacher training etc, so a similar age to me.
Obviously you all think there's no chance of anythign anyway, as us parents are lesser beings than those in the teachign profession that's the way it's coming across, anyway , so I'll give up the idea.
Just thought I might get a bit of advice on how to go about talking to, and getting to know, this man. NOT jumping on him this year or next, but just getting to know him so that maybe ti would open up the lines of comminucation for the future, when my child is no longer being taught by him. I'd have to disagree with most of the posters here who seem to have been unfair in their posts about the situation.

That is soooo inappropriate. And like the others have said, the child is being set up for a fall. You've brought it to the school's attention, and they said that they would talk to her - follow up - was there a conversation? Have they taken a look at her Facebook Page? If it's out there in public, you're not the only one who's seen it, you can be sure.
I've seen parents teach their own kids at the high school level and it's tough to navigate both relationships - though I've only seen it from the adult's side, I imagine that it's just as tough for kids. While Daddy and Teach may not be thinking of it, the other parents, and more importantly the other kids, are likely to suspect preferential treatment and change the way they behave toward your child.
Your kid's been through a divorce, and you'd like to protect her from another trauma. Ask if it's possible to arrange a trade with a student from another class. That's a reasonable request and a reasonable solution. Another thing that may become an issue is preferential treatment in the negative direction should Daddy and Teach break up - if it hasn't happened, it may be a stretch to use it as a primary reason for wanting to make a change, but I'd still mention it.
If you don't have a morality clause in your agreement and she's not a felon, it's going to be tough to stop the sleepovers. We're here for you. Ex dating our Preschool Teacher Relationships. My Ex is dating our 4yr old daughters pre school teacher.
