      If you listen to really old teachers and staffroom gossip, that shit was really common and even accepted 30+ years ago. Like teachers would marry their former students.

      This is 100% hearsay, so don’t @ me if it’s bullshit.

        my literature/history teacher did this in the early 2000s. repeatedly. a divorced man dating 17 year olds.

        everyone knew, no one did anything.

          I like to think that things are a lot better now, because I never see this. But who knows. I also don’t know that the school system culture is like in your area.

          The worst-worst I’ve seen now is a male teacher asking too personal questions. Still bad, but not anywhere near the level of having a relationship with them.
