I think the other big point people are missing is how horribly this violates teacher ethics. Its similar to a boss sleeping with a person whose job they control.
An authority figure like a teacher should never do anything like that, even if you believe a 12 year old can consent.[/quote]
This I do agree with. They are taking advantage of their position, but not the age of the kids[/quote]
Do you really classify a high school or middle school teacher as an “authority figure?” Besides, who really holds the power in the relationship? If they are found out, who stands to lose more?[/quote]
Yes, absolutely. Students, by and large, look up to their teachers. And if they don’t they set about looking for ways to skirt or undermine the teacher’s authority. So absolutely, yes I do.[/quote]

Besides it doesn’t mater if an adult chooses to ruin their own life.
