I agree with you, Oliver, that it's great to go to students' activities outside of school, if asked. There's nothing unprofessional about it. Of course, the parents' wishes have to be respected, so it would be unprofessional to go if the parent did not approve. I would expect that it depends on the individual parents as well as on the type of school and community. At my current school, most parents would appreciate a teacher who shows extra interest like this. One parent actually invited me to her son's b-day party. The school I am changing to appears to have a real family feel to it, and I would expect it would be appropriate for teachers to interact with students outside school, but I will find out for sure once I'm there.
