[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers kids should not attend the same school where the teacher I working. 
The teachers kids that I know were very grateful that they never did[/quote]

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.[/quote]

Agree. My sister and I attended the private school where my mother taught, from 1st through 12th grades. We could do this because tuition for faculty kids was entirely free. It was a wonderful benefit; they lost a lot of good teachers (and good students) when they discontinued it about 15 years ago. There were 5 or 6 other faculty kids in my class of 100 and all of us were among the top students. We benefited tremendously, but the school benefited, too. I never had a problem with my mom teaching my classmates. It would have been a problem to have her as a teacher myself, of course, but the school was careful to arrange it so that did not happen. Ie, if she usually taught AP French and I was to take it that year, they had a different teacher teach it instead. Not difficult unless there is only one teacher for the subject matter, like art or music. That did happen at my school and I think those teachers' kids were a little uncomfortable, but not enough to leave, and those classes didn't really matter grade-wise so nobody else had a problem with it.
