[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don’t ever invite your child’s teacher to your party. We are not your friends. Beyond this, it’s highly inappropriate for a teacher to attend a party hosted by a child’s parent. It’s beyond me why any teacher would even entertain the thought of doing so. Being invited is almost always a way for the parent to try to obtain confidential info or to talk trash about the school, certain employees, or to get your “thoughts” on policies or other initiatives that they are unhappy about. They have nothing to lose, but by attending, you run a serious risk of party attendees twisting your words or gossiping about you later. You’ll find yourself defending yourself in a court of public opinion. Everyone loves to gossip about teachers. Accepting the invitation will come back to haunt even the most  well-intentioned teacher. It’s hard to believe that some schools encourage this, as someone commented earlier. Yikes. [/quote]

Teacher here. I wouldn’t go to a party of a current student. But you need to leave teaching, please - so much paranoia and assuming the worst in this post. [/quote]
