if the student is at the age of consent then why not?
both student and teacher need to keep their personal lives seperated from their school life though. which would mean no showing of affection within school grounds. me personally i would not feel comfortable having a romantic/ sexual relationship with one who is teaching me, though i have had crushes on some of the 20 some year old men. ;D

there is a time and place for everything, it should not be made public until after the student has graduated. of course many will disagree with me, but honestly you're going to fall for whoever you fall for. no control over that. you just need to be smart about it.

I don't think really agree that people should be allowed in collages. For one, its a distraction. They, yes, are adult and fully allowed to do what they what, but that relashionship seems highly innappropriate to me.

In High School a relationship like that would be irresponsible to me. I think even at 18 in high school, a student isn't fully emotionally mature for something like that...even at 18. I'd say in college after a student has dated for a while when he/she is at college and has learned more about relationships t hen go for it.

I'm not trying to belittle high school students and say they aren't responsible or anything...but from my experience, by the time a student is senior in high school, they've maybe had maybe 2 serious relationship up to that point. So there's a lack of experience when it comes to a serious relationship. There's a certain lack of maturity that I think college provides students.

A student/teacher relationship in a college setting is a lot less inappropriate than one in a high school setting in my opinion. In college a student is over 18 (and not just barely turned 18) and is a consenting adult and can make their own choices. Yes it may seem fairly inappropriate, but as long as the relationship doesn't get dragged into the classroom and the teacher doesn't show favoritism towards the student he/she's having a relationship with when it comes to grading and things like that, then I don't see a problem. I'd think that by college a student would be able to separate the romantic relationship and the professional student/teacher relationship. Plus...it's not like the student is going to have the professor every single semester in college. College professors usually teach maybe 2 classes a semester...3 at the most, and for the most part they teach the same classes. So there's only so many times that a student could take classes from the professor they're having a relationship with, so for the most problem it wouldn't be much of an issue.

I have never thought that a teacher with a minor would be something to accept. If the child is 18 (which would obviously make the "child" and adult,) then I don't see the harm in having a relationship with a teacher as long as the "child" is the age of 18. As long as the teacher and student are not performing sexual acts in school (which I would find down right disturbing) then I see no harm done.

i had a teacher at my school that messed around with students. worst part is his wife is a former student of his and he still continued to play with other girls he was teaching.

personally i think it's wrong. teachers are meant to be guides and pass knowledge to their students. not to procreate with them. having a stupid crush is one thing, but going to bed is a whole other.
