Is it legal for a teacher to invite a student over to discuss material she missed beacuse she was out?? the teacher stated from day one that if you are abscent it is your resonsibility to get the information from another student. It's mighty funny this girl got an "A"????

Wow...sounds like a bunch of...gossip mill/jealous/witch hunt garbage to me....these are just the type of new grads that i hope never make it into my department...geez...:icon_roll

A word of advice...although I doubt you'll take it....MYOB...worry about your own grades and making it through school without getting on any of your professors bad sides...

BTW the whole "HUN" comment sounds very arrogant...:twocents:

Is funny no one asked the age of this young lady and the sex of theteacher. Well, she is 20 and he is 48,

This is the crux right here . . . . if a 48 year old teacher asked a 20 year old student over to his home, alone . . .that is inappropriate, unprofessional and asking for trouble.

The big question here is "if".

How do you know they were alone? How do you know this teachers wife/girlfriend/friend/sister etc wasn't there too?

I don't . .. that is why I said "if". I'm only going by what the OP is telling us.

this just sounds so terribly catty to me.

Sorry steph - I was questioning the OP not you!:nuke:

I don't think there was nothing wrong here. It's bad you can't even go out your way and be kind anymore. My mom is a Math teacher and she would NEVER invite a student over to her home. I'm sorry It's just too risky. What if the student gets mad and decides to tell a lie?? Who would they believe here.

Pepper . . .thanks. :D

This just seems like common sense to me. My daughter had a mentor help her with a senior project and met with him at his home. However the rule was I had to be there. No unchaperoned visits. The school made that rule. The mentor had that rule too.

You just cannot risk it . .. . .look at this thread!

Another vote for MYOB. This isn't junior high.

ETA: Also, if it took a supernatural force for you to pass, that last thing you should be doing is going after someone else. You need to focus on yourself, put your nose to the grindstone, and get better grades so you're not standing precariously on the edge of the cliff.

I'm wondering why the OP is so worried about the ages.

We also wouldn't be having this conversation if the instructor was female. We probably also wouldn't have this conversation if a male student was going to a female teacher's residence.

In my experience, sometimes the fact that a student shows the initiative to query the instructor as to how to improve a grade or the understanding of a concept will help tip a grade a little up, but never significantly.
