TEACHERS DATING THEIR STUDENTS

The issue of teachers dating their students has recently been alarmingly common. Whether male or female, I see no excuse of a teacher {and adult} to presume that she/he has the audacity to date their student. As long as the student is not an adult, it is a statutory rape. Even if the student is an adult, the fact that the teacher is an authoritative individual over the student means that the student may not willingly be dating the teacher, but be looking for a symbiotic opportunity. Either way, it is wrong for any teacher to date their student, Period!
