[quote=Anonymous][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.

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

This. Surprised how many people in this thread are brushing it off, must be teachers themselves I guess. These are the kind of teachers who get their mugshot spashed all over the daily mail and ny post.[/quote]
