POLL: Student-teacher relationship?

[Sakura12]

I've got a friend who has a crush on our Mathematics teacher, although he's about 10 years older than her! And besides that, he's gay... So, my poll is:

1) Have you ever had a crush on a teacher before?

2) Would you encourage student-teacher relationships?

My answers:
1) No, although the Math teacher IS kinda cute...
2) No, unless you're 18 and the teacher is 20 or something...

We have some pretty young teachers at my school, and though I'd say some are attractive, c'mon... they're your teachers -- they're like your away-from-home parents! I've heard stories about some girls who've had huge crushes on my current math teacher, who is about 30. I've never had a crush on one personally because 1) you wouldn't have a chance in the world, 2) it's considered unethical, and 3) it wouldn't work out anyway.

1) Have you ever had a crush on a teacher before?

Can we flip the question around for a moment ... Has a teacher had a crush on you before? Well, I'm pretty sure you know what my answer is, and it's true. Last years Geology/History teacher had a crush on me, and she was open enough to admit it. She's really nice and I kinda picked it before she even said it. She was quite biased towards me compared to the others - I'm not sure if she felt sorry for me because I always sat by myself in her class, or if she really did have a crush on me. I don't mind her, myself, but she has a husband (which makes it more scary). I wouldn't want to date a teacher anyway, but other than that, none of the teachers at my school are worth the looking

2) Would you encourage student-teacher relationships?

I wouldn't know how the answer this I'm afraid, I guess it depends. Personally, I don't think i'd encourage it but I can't think of a reason

1. When I was a high school student, yes, there were two female teachers at my high school that were quite attractive, and most of the guys liked them. One of them actually seemed to encourage it, which was really weird. I doubt she ever knew she did evoke such sexual energy.

2. No. I'm training to be a teacher, and I have a strong view on this. Teachers are there to do a job and to help kids/teens in one of the tougher transitions in their lives, but T-S relationships are wrong. It's taking advantage of someone. It's illegal on so many levels. Kissing or touching is enough grounds to be permanently suspended from being able teach. Any further amounts to jail time. And we know how much the media likes to rain down on people that do this. Any teacher that does this would have to be a bit immoral at least. An adult taking advantage of a minor? Ick! Adults should go for other adults. That's the way it is and should be. Unfortunately, some sick bastards don't know better.

1) Personally, no, but my friend had a crush on one of the teachers in 6th grade

2)No, too much of an age gap.

1. No, but half the girls in my high school thought the Geography teacher had a nice *** -_- Most of my friends though this English student teacher had a crush on me because he kept giving me awards for my morbid stories and gory details.

2. I encourage any relationship as long as both people involved are happy.

1. Hahaha yeah, my (subsitute) math teacher was BEYOND hot. He was only like 24, he had a tan, tone arms.. hehe... yeow...

2. I don't encourage them, because it can cause major problems for both parties ("she only passed because she was sexing up the teacher!! whine whine whine!!")

Does this mean I should stay away from you then?

1) No, most of the male teachers in my school are kind of middle aged. There are some younger ones though who are pretty cute. Don't have a crush on them though

2) As long as the kid is 18 or older and within a 10 year age gap of the teacher, I don't care. Besides that, it's just disgusting
