[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you see red flags around a male teacher (50-55) giving a female student (16-17, my daughter) money for her to attend a school event (tickeys for movie, candy, popcorn etc) and giving her extra money to pay for 6 or so of her friends too? Somewhere around $60-100. All of the students involved are from well off families.

Money was given in front of other students, not privately. Teacher quite likes daughter's creativity, ideas, participation in class. Teacher is slightly eccentric, AP English department head. Not in DC.

This happened some time ago, dd is 19 now but in listening to her end her friends talk about inappropriate male high school teachers I remembered this (students thought it was great at the time, not weird, they didn't mention this teacher, just other ones).

I met the teacher once, and he acted standoffish toward me, and I tend to second guess things based on how I grew up, but my therapist has told me if it feels like something is weird/off, it probably is. But just curious how other parents would see this. DD did enjoy the praise of this teacher but overall was a high achiever in school, and that was not particularly unusual for her. She did blush one time when I said something about the treacher.

The reason I'm asking is because one of the things mentioned by two of the girls is alarming, and I am going to be informing someone at the school. Felt a bit shocked to hear the way they described their experiences overall with looks/male gaze.[/quote]

Need more detail, OP. Are you asking if the teacher giving a student money is a problem? Or this other thing you say  was shocking and alarming? Need more detail on both to answer.
