Absolutely, A teacher is bound by a strict code of professional conduct. It would be completely unethical at the very least and depending on the age of the student it could be illegal.

In our state, one would violate the code of ethics by dating any student of a k-12 school, even if they were of age.

I think if it's different colleges and the student is of age. I don't know about in high school, even if the student would be of age.

Yes, I know. I get the problem in high schools with any teacher student. I get the problem in a University with a professor and student. I don't particularly get the problem in unaffiliated Universities as long as they are both consenting adults.

It has to do with the contract signed by the instructor when they accept their job. It is an ethics and conduct clause and is very specific to do with their behavior. It has a very wide broad scope of general professional behavior. The university or college can use it at their discretion.

Ok. I knew there were regulations within a University. I just didn't know that it would extend to dating students outside of that University.

It does not apply to just the university, it extend to their entire social life in general. It has nothing to do with the other university at all.

Illegal if the child is under the age of 21.

Not if the student is underage.

It could be completely unethical for the teacher according to their contract.

I agree even if it's college age because of the conflict of interest.

reply
Muskoka to L1 2012/08/06 03:50:31

You are right.

Depends on the age of the student.

As long as the student is of age, it's not illegal.

Unethical, yes. Still not illegal as long as the student is of age though.

True. But the instructor can lose their job.

reply
BehindT... to Muskoka 2012/08/06 04:00:54

True. That's nothing compared to a statutory rape charge.

reply
Muskoka to BehindT... 2012/08/06 05:26:52

Exactly

I don't believe there's anything illegal about a student/teacher relationship....only if the student is underage. It is frowned upon, however, and the teacher could probably lose their job over it and face humiliation and unacceptance from the public.
