I would not be able to teach a class that my child was in. She would be SUPER clingy and not respond well to discipline. I can imagine the outbursts, tantrums and jealousy. She'd definitely feel like she was "sharing" her Mom and I don't need the drama! Not to mention, I think it would sabotage my attempts to get her to be more independent.

Well, this way they can be with their child all day, possibly at the expense of the other children they are supposed to be caring for.

Why would anyone want their child in their class?

Bump. I have this issue now where a teacher's child is in her class for aftercare. As far as I can tell (it has only been a few days), she spends a lot of time carrying her own child around. It's a little awkward to raise though.

We were at a horrible day care center long ago for a short stint and the director's child attended the center, but he was in her office all day and never went to his class. Should have been a sign.

lucky for both of them. wouldn't that be great? I'd love it.

Most places won't allow that. We have a teacher in our preschool with two children in the school and they shift groupings so she doesn't have them.

As a teacher, I would also be okay with my child being in my school, but it would NOT be a positive thing for her to be in my classroom.

our preschool does not allow either. i think it would be hard on the child.

Why would that be a problem?

Our preschool/daycare doesn't allow it. They shift the teachers around to different classrooms to avoid it.

Not every now and then for backup, but a regular, enrolled student in the mother's class.
