Hot Topic: Dating Your Students

Every once in a while you run across a couple that met in the classroom: one was the teacher and the other was the student. While dating or marrying your student isn't illegal, you should be careful if you're going to go down this road.

I wouldn't advocate dating your students while you're their teacher. There's too many problems that could arise because of this, such as grades. If you want to date ex-students, that's an entirely different matter. It could be an issue if they're still students at your school and studying with another teacher. If you decide to date ex-students, just be careful about what might happen.


What do you think?
Have you ever dated a student or an ex-student? Did you run into any problems?
