Question for private school teachers - tuition benefit?

[Anonymous]

I had to remove my son from a private school in the third grade as he was bullied by the teacher's son. This was four years ago and when I brought it to the administration they said, don't use that word, use unkind. They turned a blind eyed. WTF; anyways four years later they now have no bullying tolerated signs plastered everywhere.

The teachers kids that I know were very grateful that they never did

I attended the Elementary school where my mother taught, and had several friends who went through the same (this was all public though). I had no problem with it for social or academic purposes. The only problem I ever had was that I often hated being stuck at school until my mom was done working, but then I know plenty of kids who often got sick of the afterschool camps, daycares, etc, they were at while their parents worked, and plenty of kids who felt their SAHMs were breathing down their necks. Life's not always perfect.

Now, if you're talking about a teacher having her own child in her class, then I do agree there's a conflict of interest there.

I attended and graduated from the public high school where my father was a teacher. ~shrug~

Yes, because you were in public school so your address determined what high school you needed to attend. Many of us are taking about private schools where the daught of the teacher is in your own kid's class and that kid makes things awkward for any number of reasons.

My husband teaches at a school where the teacher/faculty discount is 50% off. We're still not putting our kids in the school. We live a block from our awesome public school so I see no need to waste over $30 grand a year on his private school.

My mother taught at my school when I was a kid but I wasn't in her class much, it was only 1 period, a couple days a week.

Faculty kids got half off tuition way back then. Don't know if they still do this.

Several teachers/principals had their children enrolled there - small parochial school. No teacher had their kid in their own class unless it was like my mom's situation - she had me one class period a couple days a week. That was ok but for instance if mom was a 3rd grade teacher I couldn't have been in her 3rd grade class kwim.
