[quote=Anonymous]My son has been at school with me since Kinder (he's now upper elem), and I love it! His teachers have been great. With one of his teachers, I have taught one of her kids and she has taught mine. This year, his teacher is a good friend of mine, and I was worried it would be awkward, but it's been fine.

He has combined type ADHD with some impulsivity, so it can be a bumpy road, but I think it helps that he's at my school (I know what's happening more than I would if he were at our zoned school).

It saves us childcare costs, but for me I also think we're closer than we would have been otherwise. The drive to and from school together, and time together in my classroom before/after school, winds up fostering a lot of conversations.

I would NOT do it if I didn't have a good relationship with my administration and know they were cool about teacher's kids. Also, with younger kids you have to think about where to put them during meetings, etc. Fortunately I was able to have a teacher's kid who was older informally babysit my son during faculty meetings when he was younger. (This is why supportive admin is important-- technically both of them should have been supervised by an adult. Practically, they were across the hall from the meeting and completely fine.) [/quote]
