Can a Teacher and Parent of a Student have a Relationship? #ChalkboardRomance

Is a Romance Between a Teacher and a Parent Realistic?

The short answer is yes. It happens all too often. Here’s a post about a teacher and parent in a Catholic school in a relationship. Often the school has to make a judgement about the relationship and if it’s a conflict of interest. The most interesting piece about the above mentioned post is the comments. I love how people become polarized about this issue.

A friend shared a story about a married parent who was having an affair with her child’s teacher. Now the parent isn’t able to come to the school without notice ahead of time and the teacher will be let go at the end of the year. While I don’t justify infidelity, why is it that a teacher is held to a higher standard? But then I’ve seen it happen first hand.

I married a former student’s father. I met Jason (name changed) when I was his son’s third grade teacher. We didn’t date until that summer and then our relationship took a long time to grow before we married. We were friends first and had a lot in common, both divorced, raising children, quiet and driven. While my relationship with Jason wasn’t a secret, it caused issues at work. Some of my co-workers cornered me and accused me of potentially ruining the school’s repuation. They felt I should break up with Jason. To be honest, their ambush brought Jason and I closer. But the relationship with my co-workers was forever changed.

Do I regret my marriage? No way…but my choice makes for an interesting plot point in my latest erotic romance- Chalkboard Romance.
