Student Teacher Relationships?

Hi!


I'm having a debate with my friend over student teacher relationships


What's the criteria to be acceptable


Does the student have to be 18 and over or graduated?


And what about students and teachers from different schools?


Do the same rules apply?


And I'm talking about like a 24-25 year old teacher not 40 haha.


Thanks in advance!

Student Teacher Relationships?
Student teacher teacher relationships should remain professional, period.
Reply:well when ur 18 u act as ur own adult so i think it wont matter just act civilized infront of school property while in school.
Reply:The student must be at least 18 and not a current student of the teacher's. However, even if it is a former student, the relationship will still be frowned upon by others.





If it is a current student of the teacher's, it is ethically wrong on the teacher's part because that teacher is in a position of power over that student.
Reply:Never ever acceptable. It is sexual harassment and rape cases waiting to happen. It is also morally skewed. Not to mention, someone ends up getting hurt.





sorry but some lines should not be crossed
Reply:Well, if you decide right away you want to be a teacher, you can start when you graduate high school- call it 18





Then you have a four year program at university- we're now 22.





Then there's the student teaching year, there's the probably substitute teaching year... say 24 at that point...





So it's possible that you could find a 24-year old whose adult life you can ruin by entering into a relationship with (and make no mistake, if he is caught, he is FINISHED!).





For his sake and yours, I hope you resist. Period.
