Wow. I can't believe the number of posters who are obsessed with identifying what church the LW is in. Isn't that kind of irrelevant, kind of?
This teacher is way out of line. It sounds to me like she is flirting. True, if it was a man teaching this way, they'd be painting some kind of letter (P for pervert comes to mind) on his chest. If my children were in this class and I knew about this, they'd be outta there ASAP. Sorry, just not appropriate, kind of gross. There are things I do not want to know about other people, even my friends, much less my 13 year old's teacher. Why do parents pawn off this job to some "volunteer" anyways? Do they think some run of the mill person will do a better job? Scary.
Bottom line: Get her out of there before she starts show and tell with one of her students!
