    i dont think so, it will all depend on yourself and the boundaries that you set up.

    i know plently of teachers who have taught or currently teach in the school that their children attend.

    Thanks Nead
    I have applied, but I am in two minds to be honest!
    I have an interview next week for a different school
    and I am thinking maybe it would be better if I took that
    even still, I am well aware, I may not be offered either position;)
    but I was just wondering what the general feel is?
    (it's primary school)

    My husband was taught by his dad. The dad had to be harder on the son to be seen to be fair,so he never got picked for things, got more "giving out to" etc.

    I had the same experience. Got into double the trouble for anything I did:rolleyes:

    It depends on the size of the school. If it's big, you could avoid actually teaching your child. I had my parent teaching me for 2 years!

    Tbh, in the present climate, it's a job and if it's your child's school, it must be very convenient, hard to put a price on that. Your son won't be there forever.
