Parent wants teachers to separate Romeo and Juliet
I teach at a middle school where a boy and a girl have been dating each other for a while. The teachers have been doing a good job of making sure the kids aren’t showing PDA. The boy’s dad doesn’t like that they have been dating at all, and has asked admin to have the teachers keep them apart. Not just no touching, the Dad wants them not to be able to talk to each other. Not in classes, not passing between classes, not at lunch.
I think the school admin basically want us to escort these kids to their classes which seems well beyond a teacher’s job. What would you say to the admin?
