At the college I currently attend, my mom also graduated from there years ago. And it just so happens that the history professor I had last year, which my mom told me, is currently married to a former student of his, and even have a couple children between them. Now, if memory serves me right, I believe she (my mom) said that they married AFTER she graduated.
Yes, I know it's college and most students are of legal age by then, but I still think it's important to at least wait until after you leave the school to pursue a relationship with any member of the faculty. That way it avoids any unnecessarily uncomfortable or unfair situations, especially in terms of grades because it might show bias towards that particular student.
At first I was kinda shocked that he was with a former student, especially since my mom remembers him being on the old side twenty-some years ago (which of course makes him even older now), and this was his seconds marriage, but I was relieved to hear they had enough smarts to wait it out. Better safe than sorry. |

Hmmm, if underage, not a chance. If the student is in University, then that is up to the teacher and student to persue a relationship. |

Posts: 120 | December 2nd, 2006 at 12:12pm As someone who supports love, not descrimination, I think it's a bit judgemental to say someone is wrong for sleeping with someone far younger than them. But, if I had a child and he/she was sleeping with someone my age (reminder: if I was like 30), I would probably hurt their teacher. So, I see it from both points of view. It is the child's and teacher's decision, but if I were a parent, I would freak. |

Posts: 1671 | December 6th, 2006 at 06:35pm I don't think it's right because the teacher has a position of power over the student.
And the student might feel trapped if they want to get out of the relationship due to that power. |

Posts: 1 | January 3rd, 2007 at 02:47pm everyone seems to be mentioning age gaps of about 10-15 years, what about if the student is, fair enough, 18 but the teacher is like 50 ish, it happened in my school and i cant think of verymuch that can be more morally wrong or injust as a teacher doin that |

Posts: 100 | January 4th, 2007 at 06:46am I think that it kind of depends on the age of a student. If the student is incredibly obviously young i.e 12 or something, then it's very wrong for a student/teacher relationship. Afterall, they're really young, and perhaps don't understand as much as someone older might. It also depends on the age of the teacher. A 16 year old being with a 25 year old teacher isn't as bad as say a 14 year old student being with a 60 year old teacher. However, I feel that after the age of 14 or so, unless the student has some sort of mental disability, they can think for themselves. At least enough to understand the full concept of what they are getting themselves into. A teacher shouldn't be blamed if a 15 year old consents to be with them. |

Posts: 11 | January 4th, 2007 at 07:22am Heya Strangers,
I have no problem with this but its their choice, no-one else's.! If they truely love each other, they need to be together, but the government often do not understand love, they class it as Pervent Teacher, Innocent Student! If its not love and the teacher is abusing the student, then the teacher should be prossicuted.
It happened at my school, no-one knows if i was love and the girl was lying to save her soul from humiliation. But the Teacher ( Mr Ford ) R.E teacher was all ova the papers and is now locked up!!! |

Posts: 3267 | April 11th, 2007 at 08:29am I dunno, in collage or university i guess its different because they are older, but in the UK - secondary school only goes up to year 11 (11-16 year olds) then you go onto collage or somthing, so student/teacher relationships in secondary schools arent the best things to do. |

Posts: 675 | April 11th, 2007 at 05:40pm In this matter, it depends on each and every situation. If the student is under age, then it's obvious; NO, it's not okay. If grades become an issue in the reationship it's definitly for the wrong reasons. I have nothing against it, if they are old enough, if it's about love and not for personal reasons like grades. If I was a parent I'd probably freak out. I hope I never get in that situation... |

I agree, every situation is different, so there is no way to judge it in general.
