Some people's parents are teachers?
Edit: apologies, this was supposed to be sarcasm
Yeah way!
Sure. They can even be on the same school as their children. They just can't teach their own children, as they would clearly be biased.
It happens. I didn't notice much bias
It happens often I think. I had a kid in class whose mother was a teacher in the same school. I think they shared a class.
This should not happen anywhere with an education system that has any standards.
This was a top 10 private school in the UK
That actually makes sense, those things are rife with nepotism.
Which means it's likely a US-focussed scenario.
Definitely happens in Ireland. Anywhere populations are small you're going to face teachers potentially having to teach their own kids at some point.
