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?

[DizzyDesii]

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.

It was just odd because we were the only class she took but i assume its cause we were her last class of the day. Maybe it was her “lunch break”. Because our lunch was at 11a and then she's BBQing at 2p. But school ends at 3pm so I don't know what her deal was. Maybe it was to spend time with her husband before he worked or something I don't know. But even on days we stayed in class, she hardly taught. Kids played with the pet hamster or we cooked nasty ass “stone soup” in class

[Rosexøxø]

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.

[Rosexøxø]

I’m relieved you didn’t have anything traumatic happen over there. 😿

[DizzyDesii]

Dang not even a sleepover? And i get not going with strangers but shit she told us it was basically a field trip 😂

[Rosexøxø]

Lmao plot twist: they were the only teachers to actually teach the students how to do taxes, bbq like a man, pick a good insurance company, and car maintenance 😂😭🤧

[Rosexøxø]

Yeah no sleep over! My friends invited me once, and I begged my mom to “tell me no” 🤭😂

She was understanding and said I could use her as an excuse.

I went on field trips, but I didn’t ever trust kids my age back in those days. 🥴
Their houses meant “their territory” and so even visiting in the day one time, and my so called “friend” attempted to barge in to her broken-handle bathroom… occupied by me, at the time.

Never did such things or engaged the world til I was sure of myself, had emergency plans in mind, and had some proper safety gear with me. Left nothing to chance 😂

Family was my ride or die.

[DizzyDesii]

That plot twist would be something

[Nomina]

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!

[DizzyDesii]

Yea thats how it shouldve been... a permission slip

[WindAtMyBack]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

But why was the coach taking y'all out of town if it wasn't for a sport?

[WindAtMyBack]

It was for a sport. But I'm pretty sure my parents didn't know about it. It was a state championship in the capital city.

[Avicenna]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

She claimed she got permission from the principal. But we were like 7 years old so we just believed what she said

[Avicenna]

Not even when you were seven was it the case that a principal alone could authorize such a thing.

[DizzyDesii]

Thats why i was saying that i think the principal had her rush us back before school let out at 3p because we were probably never supposed to actually leave. But we definitely went over there 2-3 times that school year

[Avicenna]

Wow. They really risked their careers.

[Avicenna]

A teacher is supposed to keep a professional distance from their students, not have parties with them. I taught high school, and I can't tell you how many times students invited me to parties, family gatherings and even weddings or wanted to hook me up with a family member. They were always turned down.

[DizzyDesii]

You are a smart teacher for sure

[TrueConfection]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea I was shocked my mom showed worry when i brought it up recently. Back then i doubt our parents wouldve cared. Or maybe they would have since it was 2001 and people still made Michael Jackson allegation jokes

[Lliam]

@TrueConfection, I share your opinion. 💯

[Rudon00]

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 😠😠😠😠

[DizzyDesii]

What situation called for it? We were supposed to be in English class but she took us to her house for “recess” 😂

[Rudon00]

Situation involve refusing my child from possible kidnappers or my child was found lost wandering somewhere and so they call me notifying the child has been found and is safe at their house.❤❤

Better not take my child to their home because of recess either. This world is fill with many creepers and weird people alike 😠😠😠😠

[Red-Blaze]

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

[DizzyDesii]

I assume she was innocent but she wasn't the nicest teacher either so i get why it comes across as sus

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

She was a meanass teacher but this was the only time she was cool haha

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Why did you go out with them if she was kind if rude at other times ha ha?

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

She was just making you adjust in her schedule lol.😸

[DizzyDesii]

She was the teacher. The whole class went and it was an opportunity to not do school work

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Understandable.

[lightbulb27]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

No she didn't lie to the principal. She got permission from the principal but neither of them got permission from our parents

[Wish4UrB00ty]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

The principal knew but neither told the parents

[Wish4UrB00ty]

Interesting! I probably wouldn’t be too concerned then. I mean you get to know your kids teachers right? As long as someone knew besides just the teacher and her husband… haha

[DizzyDesii]

When did our parents get to know them? They met them the first day of school and at parent teacher conferences but thats it

[Wish4UrB00ty]

I don’t know about you but I had a lot of parent teacher conferences when I was in school. Lol!

[DizzyDesii]

I was a good student so mine was more so PTK Meetings

[Wish4UrB00ty]

Ahh! Figures… 😂

[Anonymous]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea our school bus driver used to give homeless people rides and we told our parents and they were pissed that someone couldve hurt us

[kellytheman]

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

[DizzyDesii]

Did your parents know

[kellytheman]

Yeah I believe so I think she sent out a note or form for them to sign to let us cause I think some of the kids didn't go.

[NathanDavis]

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

[DizzyDesii]

Yea my classmates and I didn't get phones until age 12 😂

[NathanDavis]

different needs around here... lol

[DizzyDesii]

Ahhhh i seee

[Jaximus-Lion]

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

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao

[RavVid]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i think she was only a teacher for one or two more years after. Maybe someone said something

[RavVid]

It has a strong grooming feel to it. Glad nothing happened to you. I mentioned just punishment - it was to do with that.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea you’re right. I’m glad we were okay too

[dustybiker]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

I mean i said something at age 27 😂 but we went to her house at age 7. I guess we didn't think it was a big deal

[dustybiker]

It sounds like it might have been a nice thing then. I had a different kind of fourth grade teacher. She is still my favourite. Well. One of them.

[Phoenix98]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

Concerned with her babysitting?

[Phoenix98]

Nah I’d just be concerned with teachers in general interacting with my kids these days if I had any.

[Pink2000]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

I agree. I still dont understand why she did that because lunch was at 11 so why we were partying at her house at 2p was something

[Pink2000]

That’s kinda odd

[exitseven]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea we needed more chaperones because we almost died ona lot of field trips because it was the teachers driving the school bus and theysucked

[exitseven]

My kids had a field trip to six Flags. It was a 2 hour bus ride and then the bus driver sat in the bus and drank while the kids were at the amusement park. Then he drove them home. I was not amused.

[DizzyDesii]

Omg he shouldve been fired! My culinary arts teacher almost drove us off a bridge that was cut off because she wasn't looking ahead

[exitseven]

This guy was arrested.

[AimeeKyle]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i mean the principal gave her the green light but it still seems odd looking back at it

[AimeeKyle]

For sure.

[melanieeeB]

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

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao i dont blame you

[Sparkie460]

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

[DizzyDesii]

I dont blame you

[Sparkie460]

Nobody messes with my kids

[DizzyDesii]

I’d even go to bat for someone elses kids if i thought they were in harms way

[Sparkie460]

I would too

[Agape93]

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

[DizzyDesii]

Hot damn

[Agape93]

Sorry but if you take my crotch goblin out of school without informing me or getting my permission, and then take them to your house, I don't care what you're doing. You're going to jail.

[DizzyDesii]

I dont blame you but lmao not a crotch goblin 😂

[Agape93]

Genetic participation award?

[DizzyDesii]

Stop. I dont wanna laugh

[Agape93]

Horizontal tango mistake?

[TrillXHippy]

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

[DizzyDesii]

Hey, its okay. I understand the rage. Thankfully we’re all okay that i know of
