I agree with @smudges. I would be more concerned that my mom didn’t feel comfortable telling me before school started that she would be taking a job at my school. She might not have known that you would be in her homeroom class, but she definitely knew that she’d be working at your school. I find it sad that you don’t like your mom. Maybe you should try to look at this with a different mindset. My homeroom lasted less than 15 minutes and that teacher only verified that everybody showed up for school that day. That teacher didn’t teach the class but got us into a mind that school was beginning for the day. I might be more concerned if my mom was actually teaching one of my courses as I’d be concerned that she’d be tougher on me than the other students
I definitely wouldn’t try to hide the fact that she was my mom because the “new friends” will know for sure soon enough and it will make you look like an untrustworthy, lying person if you don’t come clean with them. I wouldn’t necessarily volunteer the fact that she was my mom; but when asked, I’d respond yes, isn’t she great
@gorillapaws At my school, a teacher is allowed to teach at the same school that their child attends; however, the school makes sure that the teacher’s child isn’t in the same class that she’s teaching. Homeroom is a completely different ballgame because the homeroom teacher doesn’t teach a subject nor give out grades. @HP I bet your mom would gladly transfer you to a different school
