Almost Every School Has A Secret Pupil Student Love Affair Or Relationship With Their Teacher
Do you also think that it is very common for teachers and students to have a relationship but kept secret most of the time. I am not asking if you think it is right or wrong, just that it happens a lot. Were there any in your school?

Mine did. Although it was a teacher and a six form so it was a kid over 16 and they had been going out prior his employment

It is true that most schools today nurture such relationships and keep them a secret. Both parties stay quiet on such issues as they know that they have a lot on stake. The teacher has his/her personal reputation, the student has his/her future and the school has its name at stake so such cases are never brought to light. There should be strict action for such issues as teacher student relationships have serious moral, legal and ethical repercussions.

That's a depressing thing to imagine. Why can't we imagine that there's one amazing teacher at every school? That's more cheerful, I think.

No, I think it is probably very rare. The reason is that the teacher is almost certainly going to lose his or her job if the relationship becomes public knowledge and it would be very easy for it to do so. Indeed, the teacher would not only lose a job, but be prevented from taking similar jobs in future, possibly subjected to public pillorying in the local media, maybe even convicted of a criminal offence and put on a list of sex offenders. The downside is huge.

Most young people are not emotionally stable. Many teachers are already married, making a long-term continuation of the relationship difficult or impossible. The pupil would be strongly tempted to mention the relationship to his or her friends in a boastful way, and, if the relationship breaks down, the pupil has no further incentive to keep the secret other than personal shame.

Indeed, if the relationship breaks down bitterly, the pupil may reveal the fact of the relationship deliberately to hurt the teacher. Most teachers would recognise these dangers in advance and avoid getting into a relationship in the first place because of them, even if purely moral considerations were set aside.

No, it wasn't entirely uncommon for a teacher to be more relaxed about their sexuality... But i would have been shocked if anything scandalous was going on, shocked because no one would have ever guessed, not because it was on the news, which is the difference between it being regulated and it being wrong...
