We have to deal with, not only our students, but their parents as well. Oftentimes, for me, I have great communication skills with my parents. I take the time to give them what they need, and they feel comfortable reaching out to me. The only time this gets cumbersome is when I teach a teachers kid, or teaching a child of a staff member in the building. How do I establish boundaries with these parents? Should I approach them differently than other parents? How do I separate school from a possible outside friendship? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think just being open to the teacher about being the teacher of their child and their friend. Boundaries are important to have in this situation and most likely they have felt the same way with a student of their own that is a teachers kid.
