“At the end, he gave me his number and told me to ‘call him anytime.'”
Recently, Iaskedthe current and former teachers of theBuzzFeed Communityto share their most shocking parent-teacher night stories.
The results had me not missing the school life at all:
1.
He said, ‘Oh, now I know why youre [student name]s favorite teacher.’
I didnt call him out like I would now and continued with the conference like normal.
I reported it to my admin.
His kid was such a sweetheart, though!"

“About 20 years ago, the students counselor and I did a home visit.
This happened while dad cleaned his gun.
I was so happy to get out of there!”

“Well, my ex showed up for a child around the age of the time we dated…
I was the side chick!
Thankfully, I do not have to see him as I am the general teacher aide.”

“I’m a science teacher and a parent asked me if she could borrow my replica human skeleton.
I said no, it’s school property.
She then tried to barter with me for it?
I told her no and that I needed to prepare for the next group of parents.
She got upset and then finally left.
“She even ended up asking the principal, who also said no.
I never found out what she wanted it for though.

The kids were great students and very respectful and kind.
The father said ‘Well, it’s just me now.
My wife left us.’
I got the sense that it was rather recent.
Just him and me.
Art teacher: OMG he definitely did, because he asked me out earlier this evening!”

“I had a parent ask me out.
I told her it was not a good idea considering I was teaching her daughter.
She ended the interview by telling me that I wouldnt be her daughter’s teacher forever.”

“I remember talking to a students dad and he looked as high as a kite.
I still remember watching in the parking lot to verify his wife drove (she did lol).”

It was so awkward.
I mumbled something about how I was flattered, but that was against the rules.

“I was teaching fourth grade.
A new student, who was previously homeschooled, arrived at the school.
I was meeting with the family for the first time.
During the meeting, the nine-year-old child asked his mom for some milk.
I assumed she would pass him a bottle of milk.
Instead, she lifted her shirt and breastfed the nine-year-old!
I quickly finished the meeting, in complete disbelief!”
“A few years ago, I was working the enrollment forms table.
A mom and grandpa come with the paperwork to enroll a cute, sweet 12-year-old.
Dad is also mega rich and they have two younger children that I have had the pleasure of teaching.
The mom and dad still creep us all out though.”

I adored the kids, and had a good relationship with both sets of parents.
One parent-teacher conference, just the dad had arrived.
I was wearing a white button-down Oxford shirt with a nice chevron-striped jacket-sweater over it.
While we were making small talk, the dad kept stroking my arm in the creepiest way.
He said, ‘I really like this shirt.
Do you know where I can get it for my wife?’
“Then, the moms arrived and he pretended like nothing happened.
I still dont know whether to be flattered or oogied.”

“At open house this year, I had a grandparent who is raising his granddaughter ask about homework.
I didn’t know how to respond.”
“I was a new teacher at my first parent-teacher night.
I looked around the classroom to find another parent to talk to and then quickly excused myself.”

“The teacher mentioned this to the principal, and it was basically shrugged off…
I was very baffled.”
I couldnt even process what happened after talking to her because I was meeting with another parent.
I went home that night and cried.”
Very often the boys.
“…I felt bad for the mom and her daughter.
