One evening, his son came home very excited: he’d found out that his math teacher had a Facebook page. And he had a plan:

“Look!” his son exclaimed, “Isn’t she hot, Dad? You should definitely ask her out.”

Because his son was not Facebook friends with this particular teacher, he could not see her entire profile. But after seeing a glimpse of her profile photo, Dad did not deny this: she looked stunning in her skimpy bathing suit.

Still, this Dad wondered how to respond to his son’s well-intentioned suggestion. What was our first reaction?

No one but you should make the rules in your life. That said, we caution any parent from dating one of your kid’s teachers. We see this as an irresponsible parenting choice for one reason:

The potential for drama and fall-out on your kid is just too big a risk. We’ve posted comments on other sites stressing our belief that it’s crucial to have boundaries when it comes to your child’s school. We believe that school is “your kid’s place” — not a pick-up spot or a romantic opportunity for you.

No doubt, social networking is such a big part of life today that more and more social circles are intersecting. So, we’re curious if you are friends with any of your kid’s teachers on Facebook. (Rachel at Single Mom Seeking, for example, is Facebook friends with a handful of her child’s teachers!)

Or, maybe you are a teacher on Facebook?

We’re wondering: Have any of your kids ever tried to look up and befriend their teachers?
