How would you react if you went to pick up your little kid early from school but you found out they were at their teachers house?

Question

I was telling my mom about how as a kid, we’d spend my last class of the day at my teachers house sometimes. Around about 2pm, she walked the whole class of like 12-20 students to her house about 2-3 blocks away. She took us to her backyard for popsicles while her husband BBQ’d. Then she'd get us back in time to catch the school bus home. I mean, she told us she had permission from the principal so we didn’t give it a second thought, but apparently neither of them received permission from the parents.  
 
 I remember one day my friend slipped in a pile of her dog’s crap as we ran around the backyard and we all had to walk back to school early. Yea some students went inside the house with her but i highly doubt anything freaky was happening. I don't know but anyways, my mom said that bothered her because if the teacher would have turned out iffy, she and her husband could’ve hurt one of us and no one would’ve known. As a kid, that stuff unfortunately didn’t cross our mind. As a future parent, i’d probably sue someone. #FeelFreeToList

This just made my heart heavy.. lol

I’m not even angry at anyone, the lady may be nice, but I’d ensure my kid didn’t go.

I’d actually and probably be more upset at MY kid, for listening to anyone who told them to *LEAVE SCHOOL GROUNDS*

I personally didn’t stay at sleep-overs, as a kid, and told my mom always, of anything suspicious.

I’d expect similar from my kid, and for them to be well learned on stranger-danger.

My kids won’t have ‘party fun’ 👐, until they’re ‘party-aged,’ or accompanied by a chaperone I trust- myself… lmfao

or my spouse and any older siblings near the 18-21 age mark.

My first reaction was pure outrage lol. What the fuck? I don't care if it's all innocent, you don't get my kid out of school without telling me.

When I was a kid, my class couldn't go on the annual field trip, so our teacher proposed that we have a camping trip in his backyard. All the parents said yes. There was an official slip to read and sign, a list of things to bring and it was fun!
No funny business, and he asked first!

When I was in school nobody would have thought anything of this. Nowadays everyone is paranoid as hell about this sort of thing.

We had teachers do this sort of thing during school. We had coaches doing it after school for the teams they coached. I even remember a coach driving us to another city, and as far as I remember my parents didn't even know we were going.

I also remember chasing girls around during recess and kissing them. The teachers knew but didn't care. Nowadays the wackos would be screaming sexual harassesment about something that's completely normal childhood behavior.

There's no way a teacher could do that and not be fired and possibly arrested. I'd never have done that when I was teaching.

Students don't get invited to a teacher or professor's crib until they are in graduate school and the semester has concluded.

TrueConfection · Answer

Your teacher sounds awesome and you're lucky you have been around at a time when good people could still do fun things without worry. These days the risks of a child getting injured on personal property or making a false accusation of misconduct, have put an end to a lot of those exceptional fun things from well meaning people.

I wouldn't have worried so much as a parent if the entire class went.

Rudon00 · Answer

Well I will ask questions and do some research on the background of the teacher. Let me see what I'm dealing with here🤔🤔

I will be polite and thanks that teacher for housing my child given the situation calls for it.

Other than that. I'm going to warn my child about going to strangers home even if they are your teacher and I will give a stern warning to that teacher if it does happen again to not carry my child to their house without my permission or else 😠😠😠😠

With current news and all warning about pedos and so at every cornor I get the concern even that as some say it used to be simpler times
If the teacher really was just inocent it sounds awesome, very one of a kind, its a real shame it rises so much suspisions and fears on some bad actors out there

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

Our teachers were very professoonal. The present ones too. They don't entertain us regarding anyrhing even if it is 4:01 pm.

But I would count your teacher's behaviour as a red flag. Even if it was harmless, it is still a red flag. A potential one.

lightbulb27 · Answer

Never heard anything like that.

I'd be a bit nervous and 100x more after I hear they lied to the principal. I'd want to really know that teacher and anyone in her house.

Very odd... very very odd...

Now that said, for my fav teachrs, I'd happily go to their house. kids are kids.

Wish4UrB00ty · Answer

I absolutely love reading the comments to posts like this because people get so dramatic about it. Personally I wouldn’t mind it at all if she had permission. But the fact that she just walked off with 20 kids without anyone knowing makes me angry. And good intentions or not I would bring the law down on that whole school. Don’t be doing things like that with my kid without my knowing about it.

I'd call the police. In 2023 its not acceptable. I will give you an example. A guy who drove the school bus decided to pick up his girlfriend and drop her off at her work as it was on his route, he did this once and got fired.

You have to be vetted by the police, her husband likely wasn't. There are rules to stop some very bad stuff from happening.

Well it probably was a little different back then when people were more trusting especially since she was a teacher. But nowadays that wouldn't fly unless they had the school and parents permission. My whole 2nd grade class did go to my teachers house for like a pizza party or like the last day of school or something back in the day like 1996

NathanDavis · Answer

this is why my niece had a phone since very young... and also knew since very early that certain things have to be questioned first, lol

Vote for the teacher to be the next president. Popsicles and her man bbq'd, god damn, imagine if I had a teacher like that , or even a school with doors and windows, all i have to say is GGGAWDDDD DAYYYUUUM

RavVid · Answer

I'd be very suss about this. It was completely off and just wrong. Maybe I'd be happy enough with sackings if sure my kid had not been molested. I don't think the duty of care was being followed to let them leave school premises.

Pink2000 · Answer

I’d be pissed off. There’s no reason my child should be at their teachers house. It’s inappropriate. Too many things could happen.

dustybiker · Answer

When I was in school all forms and paper work had to be filled out to leave even a public school campus. Not sure how those two pulled it off. No kids broke silence? Very unusual.

Phoenix98 · Answer

I had a teacher that also lived across the street from us when I was a little kid so sometimes I was over there but she was usually babysitting us. But this was back in the 90s, now a days though I'd be quite concerned.

exitseven · Answer

It probably would make me a little nervous. I never even liked my kids going on class field trips. Many times either my wife or I would go as a chaperone to keep an eye on them.

AimeeKyle · Answer

I would have some concern and ask a lot of questions. I’m surprised they didn’t ask for a permission slip….. Once I knew what was going on, it wouldn’t e any big deal. Sounds like you had an awesome experience / great teacher. Good memories.

melanieeeB · Answer

Damn hell no I watch to many true crime stuff... my alarm clocks in my head are ringing

Sparkie460 · Answer

That's not something they did when we were in school. It's a nice gesture but it could have easily been a cover up for other activities. Shit would be flying if the teacher did that with my kids

Agape93 · Answer

I'd call the police and have them charged with kidnapping at minimum.

TrillXHippy · Answer

I never fought in my life but reading this would make me want to fight. I’m not bout to do the most right now. I can’t even think about what to say right now

SmokinAces2000 · Answer

I’d have to know the teacher personally to even begin to be okay with that and even then I don’t know If I’d be ok with it

Guardian45 · Answer

My Spidey-sense would be tingling. I'm pretty sure that is against school policy.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Wow. That's some sketchy sh*t right there.

EmmaMary · Answer

Personally I would go absolutely ballistic.

Jennz6 · Answer

I would be upset

DevinAM · Answer

I'd have been pretty sketched out
