[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since this is a *student* teacher, [b]write the principal and actual classroom teacher and ask that she be reminded about appropriate professional boundaries. Soliciting gifts from students, even “joking” [/b]is off.[/quote]

Oh yeah. That’s going to go over well. Think of the ways that could backfire for OP and her kid. Op, tell your daughter to get her own clarification: “ teacher - I’m confused. Do you really want me to get you a coffee each day?”  Done. Don’t even need a post on DCUM[/quote]

If a polite email to the tune if, “I’m sure Student Teacher isn’t aware but her repeated requests for Lucy to bring her coffee are a inappropriate, it might help if someone were to raise this to her” has some potential to cause retaliation than that problem lies with the school, not the parent. No one suggested a “screed”— but since the mentor has not intervened in all of this time it’s obviously not going to be addressed if OP doesn’t raise it.

Adults who don’t respect boundaries and then insist ITS A JOKE are actually exhibiting grooming behaviors. [/quote]
