I know that it is not ilegal but do schools frown on it?

As a teacher myself, I would find it a conflict of interest if that pupil was in my class. Teachers act as confidential ears to pupils thoughts and deeds. It would be different if that pupil was my own child as this is allowable although as the father I could ask that he/she were put into another class as you find yourself being harder on your own children than those of others. So if you have a relationship with a pupils parent that may only be plutonic to start off with it may devlop into something more. If the relationship is serious then it would be only in ones best interest to make it known to the Heads and leave it with them for an informal acknowledgement that the relationship is happening. They cannot demand that such relationships do not happen. I have known it on many occasions.

It is not illegal, the teacher would be wise to mention it to the head teacher.
You have teachers children in the same school they teach in, is this a conflict of interest as well?
The pupil could be moved to another class if it was a problem to them. (can only think it might be a problem in high school)
The 2 adults could have met in a pub I am sure where you work is not the first thing 2 adults talk about when chatting each other up.
When my hubby was a student teacher he went to a pub to a CAMRA meeting, he was chatting to a woman who's son was in his class, they didn't go out together or anything.
The woman mentioned it to her son and her son mentioned it to other pupils he got his legged pulled for a few weeks but that was the end of it.
He wasn't actually going out with her, but teachers are human and want to get married and settle down themselves so don't actually see it as a problem.

You really need to look at your code of conduct or whatever the equivalent is called in your contract, seek advice from a union rep to find out the consequences if your employer does get really upset and then be honest, speak to your boss and see what they say. You have to accept that this could potentially create a rather awkward situation in the workplace for you and the pupil so be prepared to get frowned upon and ask yourself if its really likely to be worth the effort.

this finished situation of this female might want to be solved if the faculty became waiting to bend the brat over and make her bottom so sore she might want to not sit down for a week!! also a caution that any more beneficial undesirable behaviour in school might want to result interior an analogous hiding being administered back. the father and mom should be made to pay repayment to this instructor - per chance promoting the electric powered video games and leaving the brat with a mattress to sleep on and some clothing to positioned on to help instill the message that mendacity, dishonest and undesirable behaviour has many consequences. i do not imagine she ought to pay for all of it her existence - it truly is for murderers, rapists, drug sellers etc, not a stupid little female who became allowed to interrupt out with too a lot for too lengthy. She is a results of her upbringing - even if it truly is time for self-discipline to be positioned into position and for her and her relations to understand there are consequences for behaviour that could be uncomfortable for a lengthy time period!

i would check what your schools policy is first, the governors may have a problem and the teacher could end up loong their job. Also check how the pupil feels about it, they may have some serious issues.

It's none of the school's business what you do with whom unless the person is a student or one of your ex-students.
Check with your teacher contract or a local lawyer just in case - as some schools have nothing better to do than meddle in other people's business....

I think they can, but it would be in your best interest to declare it to your head teacher. It might be awkward for the pupil and they might prefer to be moved out of your class.

So long as the student isn't one of yours I don't see a conflict of interest. I think that's what a school would most likely look for.

Yes, there is no law against it , but it truly would be a conflict of interest. I would stay away from that situation.
