Poll: why can't students love their teachers?

[Rblade]

because a teacher is in a position of power and thus there is no balance, the chance of it going wrong is simply to big to allow it.

What I mean is, surely these two statements are equivalent to each other:

"It should be a crime if they're 15 or younger."
"It shouldn't be a crime if they're 16 or older."

Laying aside the whole issue of age of consent (which would make the first option a crime in the UK anyway) those two statements seem to be logically the same.

Ah, right, fair enough.

It creates a bias. That would seem to be the main issue, now if the teacher in question is not an instructor to the specific student, then whatever.

Its professionally inappropiate. Also a teen could see a teacher as a great partner due to the fact they know ''all the answers''. It needs to remain appart at least till they graduate.
