Parents, what would you do?

Question

I have twin 16 year old sons....one of the boys has a Government teacher, a young 25 year old very good looking girl, who I just found out today, has been calling our home and emailing him. The boys transferred from private to public school this year, so they are new at the school. My son told his twin brother first, then they both talked to their dad about it, that was last night, my husband thought about it all night and told me this morning. I looked at the emails, they were basic, homework questions, etc, but too too personal, enough that my son, was unconfortable. The 3 phone calls were late at night on his cell phone, he didnt answer, saw them the next morning, but ignored them. I know what my husband and I are going to do, what would you do?

Answer 1

You've got me on this one. Can't wait to hear what you decided. I already know that my response would be different because mine are Daughters. It would be a surprise meeting with the 25 yr old male teacher and me. I can promise after the meeting he would never do it again. To mine or any other student. Ponder trying to go to the potty with both hands in casts. You would have to have someone go with you to "clean up." Who do you know that has friends that would do that? I'm sure it sounds crude and maybe a little Southern redneck but it works EVERY time. Ask Ms. Belle how they would have handled it in her day. I bet it would be somewhat like I said.  

Answer 2

The teacher is a pervert. You need to call the school, stuff like this happens all the time.

Answer 3

I would contact the school prinicpal and ask him if this is normal policy for a teacher to be calling a student in the late hours of the night and emailing them.

Something tells me she woldn't be a teacher much longer when I was through with her.

Answer 4

I would contact the teacher and ask why she is being so personal and if its only with my kid. This is very strange coming from a teacher in High School.

Answer 5

I am sorry that is not acceptable at all.... this is a child and she needs to keep and respectful relationship with her students she is not their friend I would speak with the principle about this immediately.  calling a child on there cell phone I dont think so. House phone well ok if it is about school and homework. but this is not to be personal she is the Teacher  I would put a quick stop to that.

Answer 6

I would talk to the teacher and tell her you appreciate her help for your son, but would prefer her to talk to you if she has concerns. Let her know that late calls is not permitted for a "teenager"(hint for her) and you would prefer her to call you instead and Not him

Answer 7

I would call the school personally and ask for more information on the teacher.

Its your right as a parent to know what is going on in your child's school and if the school respects that, you will receive all necessary information.

Tell the teacher that you feel uncomfortable with the e-mails and etc.

If they persist you are aloud to contact the police.

And most importantly understand this, for your child's safety, a parent must go To all lengths.

hope i helped

Answer 8

You know, you hear about this a lot on the news...  I would inform her supervisor of this immediately, and tell her that although it might be nothing, that you see it as a little inappropriate for all the late-night phone calls.  That way, she could get a light reprimand (if it comes down to this), and she'll realize that she needs to be more professional with her students.  

Answer 9

I would not ask the teacher about it because she could just layoff of contacting him and move on to another student.  You need to print off the emails if you choose to do so but you do need to contact the principal or a higher authority that can address this situation before it is too late for your son or someone else's son.
