My daughter is in her last year of high school and has really been struggling this semester with her English class. She has gotten tutoring and has even spoken with her teacher about her problems with the subject. Her teacher told her that since she is so far behind in her work, the only way she will possibly be able to graduate is if she goes out on dates with him every weekend until May.
My daughter was shocked. She had never heard of such a thing and immediately came home and told me about it. I was outraged at this. I went right up to that school and demanded a meeting with that teacher and the principal. They told me that this is standard procedure and that all students who are failing and hope to graduate this year must date their teachers. Is this right? Should my daughter really have to date her teacher just to graduate?? Help please.

I can only say, after reading your previous questions, that yes, it is quite normal in your town to expect such odd behaviour.

What the hell? When I saw the question I thought it was some kind of joke...but if you are serious then I'm quite concerned. You need to make contact with the school board, your local police, tv stations, etc. and draw some attention to this situation because it is COMPLETELY wrong...not to mention illegal. You also should look into taking some sort of legal action against the teacher, principal, and/or the school for allowing and encouraging such behavior. Last (but DEFINITELY) not least, as a parent you should not have to ask these kinds of questions. You are expected to know what is right vs. what is wrong when it comes to your children...and in a situation such as this when the answer is quite obvious, you should not have ask us what to do. Maybe you should seek some sort of parenting classes, counseling, or something of the sort for the sake of your daughter.

The online comedy person. Lets see, 8 months ago your husband wanted your daughter to date a 45 year old neighbor, and you suspected that your brought the wrong baby home from the hospital because it spoke fluent Chinese, then your husband wanted to get breast implants to breast feed your baby......I could go on but your life must be really boring to have to make up all these stories and ask questions about them. Stop being silly.

Let me guess, public school system?
Think about it lady, you're actually asking if your 17 year old should go out on a date with her 45 year old teacher. Please do the rest of the world a favor and don't have any more kids. But if you're are seriously considering this, and for some reason I think you are, GO WITH HER. You may just learn something yourself.

No way man. Look, your daughter may get into trouble. She may be taken advantage of by the teacher.
And even if your daughter graduates, she will still continue to struggle with her studies in the future. No offence, but it means that your daughter is not ready to graduate yet.
I hope you will make the right decision. DO NOT RISK YOUR DAUGHTER'S SAFETY.

did you think about turning him into the policel? That is such BS!!! That isn't standard. you need to go to the school board and tell them about this. cause your daughter doesn't have to date a 45 yr old pathic man to graduate.

Dear people, please DO go for brain surgery if your cawlyflower is so out of date. Are you mocking everyone? I can only see it as you having misunderstood the teacher and the principal who were probably speaking of private classes of English instead of "date". But how that could happen to a sane mind... I wonder

Yes, it's standard procedure that a girl failing a class should have to whore herself out to the teacher in order to pass.
Geez, are you serious? No, that's not true and the teacher should be reported if he really is doing this.

Are you seriously consider this "claim" to be correct??? It morally, ethically and probably illegal for this to happen.
How much do you want your daughter to pass? It is only a subject. How much does she want to pass? It is her last year - she probably doesn't want the shame of returning.
If it is to be then guidelines must be set otherwise the goal posts will be forever moving until it's sex or fail.

no this is wrong! where does she go to school? Maybe think about getting a transfer to a different school. Going out on dates just to Graduate is definately not OK... What's next? Sleep with him to graduate??
