Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have you parents teach at the school you attend? Well these kids know first hand what the pros and cons of this situation are.

Sophomore Kay Graham “[doesn’t] mind at all” that her mom, Jean Graham, Pre-AP algebra and Pre-AP calculus teacher, works here at Arlington High.

“It’s actually kinda cool,” she said. “If there is anything wrong in one of my classes, it is a lot easier for my mom to talk to my teacher.”

On the subject matter of grading, teacher parents have a lot of the same tolerance as regular parents do.

“They want me to get good grades but you know they don’t ground me if I get a bad one,” Kaleigh Copenhaver, sophomore, said.

There are also other positive outcomes that can come from having a parent working at your high school.

“They can always get me lunch and if I forget stuff they are always here,” Copenhaver said.

Though with pros come cons, and there are a few that result from having a teacher parent.

“I get caught, if I do anything wrong it doesn’t just affect me, it also effects my mom,” Graham said. “I have to be careful about what I choose to do and who I choose to hang out with.”
