Apparently there's a rule against physical contact with students at Edinburgh university, or so one of the tutors was saying. She said that sometimes a student will burst into tears because they recieved a bad grade for example but this tutor said that she can't give them a hug.

Also, when I met this same tutor I shook her hand and although she was friendly towards me the handshake seemed to make her uncomfortable.

They don't have a problem with going to the pub with students though.

^ Prime example, doesn't have **** to do with what I'm asking, and ultimately, people continue to use the phrase "student" instead of "former student" when that's LITERALLY what the OP is about. And CrystalFairy raises eyebrows when I call the answerers illiterate. All I'm saying is, Read the ENTIRE THING. REEEEAAAADDD!!!!


Alright, let's suppose a teacher dates a girl that he taught when she was jail bait. That doesn't look too good because even if he waits until she's legal he wasn't being professional by flirting with a student that he was there to teach. I don't think that they want people that would even entertain those thoughts while working with children.

A guy that I went to school with did get into a relationship with a woman that had been our English teacher and by that time they were both consenting adults, so I don't personally have a problem with that.

Error, situation doesn't pertain due to the fact that nothing like this happened DURING school. Please READ OP for further understanding. If you are illiterate, please contact a local education.


Hey, I'm not a mod here but if you carry on insulting people like this don't be surprised if you get banned from this site.

The only thing in your OP that I haven't responded to is your point that the relationship existed before the rule. Well, tough luck because if the rule does now exist it still applies if that teacher wants to keep his job.

Likewise, you may deny that anythin inappropriate happened while you were a student but you really can't prove that, or know if the teacher entertained those thoughts if you aren't a mindreader.

A few things, things. 1. Thank you ;). 2. I don't seek advice, I seek ANSWERS, 3. Telling me to grow up because no one has properly answered my question ultimately renders YOU immature (since YOU have yet to answer my question also. I'm not looking for advice, I'm looking for direct answers. Most people would know that seeing as they were not illiterate.
Please use proper grammar, read the OP and answer my question. Do that and we've got a deal sweetheart.

What i dont understand is how the school even know.? Do you go visit her at school? if so thats not a good idea, given they will guess that you were on a relationship while you were at the school... but it can never be proven so yes she could get fired, but no way they could bar her license... My question is why let the school know in the first place.? and why would she get depressed? if its love she just can move on into another school, teachers are not a dime a dozen...! i figure this relationship started while you were still in school, doesnt matter if you were 18 at the time or not as long as you were a student its off limits, and for a good reason... I say you all are young if the school has a problem, tell her to quit and find another job... keep your personal things away from your employer!!!!

^This is not really an answer, but atleast you seem to understand a few points that I have made out. Here's the thing. This was sort of what I was asking. I was asking how will the school find out. But MAINLY, why teacher's aren't allowed to have lives outside of school. I played my relationship smart. I had feelings for my teacher. But I waited until we met a t a poetry night (that she always would attend and after graduation) to let her know. She was reluctant, but things started to spark. Next thing you know, we're seeing each other a few months after. All I'm asking is why (do you think) teachers can't have lives? Example answer: most likely because of the ignorant people's opinions trying to be forced down upon other people's. THAT is an answer. But instead, I get criticised by everyone saying "grow up" or "don't get mad because you didn't get the answer you wanted" when in actuality, I HAVE no answers. If you consider telling someone why teachers cannot date students an answer, then so be it. But the question, or rather, PRINCIPLE of the question is Why teachers cannot have lives. I used my predicament as an example. But the actual question ranges from Teachers being able to smoke, work at strip clubs, have nudity in pics etc. Just like your average person would. I wouldn't restrict ANYTHING non-work (impact) related. Why? Because it's no one's business what a teacher does in his/her free time. As long as it doesn't impact work. And who a teacher is dating is actually none of the school/students/ignorant people's business. SIGH! Get me?

Ah! It looks to me that the above-stated question is a bit of a false dilemma, because teachers can have lives.

What the author of the OP really wants to know is why are there ethical boundaries regarding the off-the-job behavior of teachers.

But my guy whoever said a teacher cant have a life outside the workplace?, but when personal things happen involving a student at the school she works at it is the school business.! They are held to higher standards just like cops, and they should be, a teacher just can't go around ****ing 18 year old students in her spare time, just because their 18, its not a good look.. No school district is limiting a teachers personal life.?!?! but once again if that personal life involves a student its their business, their employing her, and if its a publice school the city is paying her, if she doesnt like it, go to a private school and get a job, no ones maaking her work or them...

I understand what you're saying, but you aren't answering my question AND you're sounding like everyone else. I'M NOT STUPID. I KNOW NOT TO BRING IT TO THE SCHOOLS ATTENTION. I KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES BLAH BLAH. PLEASE READ IT AGAIN I KNOW. All I'm saying is teachers have feelings and sexual needs like everyone else and whoever they choose to satisfy those needs with (AS LONG AS IT DOES NOT INVOLVE SCHOOL) meaning that THE SCHOOL HAS NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER, its no ones business. When people hear "former student and teacher" THEY ASSUME. LIKE EVERYONE else here who answers. I ****ing know. I know. I understand. I get it. I know. I get it. I know. A hundred ****ing times I KNOW. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT ****. Why can't people think "love" when they see two people happy. Instead they ASSUME AND ASSUME. No one ****ing cares what you assume. Love is ****ing love. All people do is try and force what they believe is wrong on everyone else. **** is annoying thanks

You really have had your question answered and this just boils down to you saying that you don't think that it's fair. What else do you want us to say about it? I told you that I went to school with a guy that ended up in a relationship with our English teacher and that I personally didn't have a problem with that. She was hot and I would have banged her myself.

It does involve school though, whatever you say. Here's an analogy for you: Let's say that I chat with someone on here and we end up dating. Where did we meet and at what point did the relationship start?

Idk what the **** else to say. I even gave you an example. Its clear to me that you all can't read. The principle deals with rights. I'd bet if I said something about gays not having right (which is exactly what I'm pertaining to, you all would stfu). You idiots are too blind to see the irrelevance of making a thread just so people can agre on what you are saying. I made this thread for real answers as to why tea hers can't do certain things (my example) without their job interfering. Smh. **** it, thread closed.

I would say that it seems that you are the one with very poor reading comprehension and your grammar isn't even that good.

BTW, there are all sorts of people on this site, from liberals to cconservative homophobes and if someone posts a thread about gays on here there is no consensus.

Great, then don't argue. If I've read someone's post that doesn't utilize proper grammar, I wouldn't respond. But since you seem to pose a threat, I just want to point out to you the contradiction of your statement. "
BTW, there are all sorts of people on this site, from liberals to cconservative homophobes" didn't know "cconservatives" was a word but meh :/. If you attempt to comment on grammar, spell checking your own posts may not be a bad idea. As for homophobia, if you had any brain cells left, you'd understand that this thread is fighting for such rights. Of Gays, Teachers, Lesbians, Non GOD Believers, Nurses, etc. Why? Because they are all people and deserve to be treated like people. Inside job or out. Inside the closet or out. Get ne? Good :)

Thanks, I wrote it myself. You also answered my question a bit as well. You've given me the implication that people love to assume **** rather than attempting to show empathy. And I don't mean me either. I mean teachers. You don't know me nor do you know the pain I've endure. And it goes both ways, which is why I don't implicate without definite empathy or proof. What makes you? THAT, my friend, seems trollish. And I'VE seen better. After all I am one, remember?

NO U eh? Surely you can do better than that.

I can't be arsed spellchecking my posts but even if my spelling isn't perfect, you got my meaning and your posts are incomprehensible. That's your problem I think. Maybe go back to school because it surely isn't possible that you are the only poster here that isn't a tard, as you seem to think.
