Teacher Tried Hosting Secret Sleepover for My Daughter Without Asking Any Parents
The original poster (OP) is providing an update following previous discussions about their concern regarding an unauthorized sleepover event organized by their daughter's dance teacher.
The OP notes that they have previously faced strong negative reactions to their concerns, being labeled with various negative terms.
After deciding to follow advice, the OP's husband spoke to the teacher about their daughter not attending the sleepover. The teacher reacted by suggesting it would be a "great opportunity" for the daughter to overcome anxiety.
Following this conversation, the OP learned several concerning details about the planned event and ultimately contacted the dance school, leading to the event's cancellation and the OP questioning whether their cautious approach was the right one.

The original poster remains firm in their decision to report the teacher to the dance school, prioritizing their children's safety over potential social awkwardness or appearing overly cautious.
The central conflict rests between the OP's deep-seated instinct to protect their children from perceived risk and the teacher’s expectation that parents should trust her organization of an informal event without standard safety protocols.
Given that the sleepover was canceled due to the intervention, the question remains whether the OP was justified in escalating the issue to the school based on the concerning details revealed, or if speaking only to the teacher about their daughter's non-attendance would have been a sufficient and less disruptive action.
