I just wanted to pick up some bananas.
The PE Teacher rarely gets to have P/T conferences and was probably excited.

I would have been very bothered a lot by the thought of a parent talking to me outside of school when I was younger. Now that I know it never happens, the thought doesn’t stress me out. Don’t be that parent and try to wait for the teacher by their car to have an impromptu conference. All of us have heard horror stories.
nah, I just wanted to be like HI. I am ABBY Dad and buy her a drink, but not sure how it will end up
Saying hi is fine. That’s the normal thing to do.

Like if you run into them at the grocery store?
No.

I ran into my sons PE teacher at the grocery store. My son was with me. The teacher introduced himself to me and proceeded to have a conversation with me that amounted to a P/T conference.

You are certainly allowed to, but I hope you don’t. I already have a hard enough time balancing my work and home life. I’m always answering emails, grading papers, developing curriculum, etc. If I’m shopping, it’s the rare time I am not glued to a laptop. Please let me have that moment! I’m happiest if you say hello and then send me an email. I’ll take care of your need once I’m back in my home office.

I suggest you go to the teacher’s house. Or write a letter.

+1 plus if you ask in a certain way, you can convey the question without pressure for an answer in the moment so the teacher can choose their response.

Please don’t. If you see me at the mall or grocery store I’m not at work. A hi is all

You’re “allowed” to, but they’ll secretly be annoyed.

If you see your DC at outside schools hours are we allowed to ask them a question re school work?
