Let’s say you’re a teacher. You have a student who is 17 years old.
You start to have feelings for each other. The student will turn 18 over the summer...
Is it morally okay for you you wait for them to turn 18, call or text them. Meet up and start dating?
On one hand, they are now 18 years old. A legal adult.
On the other hand, you were their teacher.

Naw as a teacher you are in place of power over students . And you have to be at least 5 years older than her . Them. That just doesn't seem right.

I had a history teacher in my 10th grade year (16 years old) who coached ladies volleyball. He was 25 years old. He was obviously crushing on one of the 17 year old volleyball players. She bragged to the other girls she was hooking up with the guy. A parent found out. His father was the School Board Superintendent. So it got swept under the rug. They ended up getting married. They are still together and have two kids. |

No, it's unprofessional and unethical for a teacher to form a sexual and romantic relationship with a student. Waiting until the student is 18 means the teacher has already acquiesced to an unacceptable connection.
If the teacher is so hard-up that this underage girl is his only option, then he should quit his job and wait for her to turn 18.
But nah, he has to choose his job or the girl. Or better yet, go find a relationship with someone your own age whom you have no professional power over.
The teacher is a f*****g loser.

Part of the role of a teacher in high school is to understand the difference in maturity levels between him/her and the students, and act accordingly.
Moreover, teens are still developing in their emotions and hormones. A birthday may mark a legal boundary, but the maturation process doesn't change by a calendar date.
As another poster pointed out, a teacher has to be at least 5 years older than the student, has been through college, and has performed in a professional work force.
If, when the student has had those important experiences ... or spent those years developing in a life path ... would be the time to asses if the (mutual) feelings are still there.

Follow the rules of your employment and any applicable laws, that's moral.

Morals and ethics are essentially the same thing, and I'm not sure I would call a birth date "legal." Try morality vs legality.

On the other hand, you were their teacher. Touchy ethical area, but I say yes. Depending on the circumstances obviously and after the student has graduated. The problem here is that "how and why did these feelings form exactly?" It seems the teacher and student would have to have had a boundary issue beforehand in order to know they have feelings for eachother.

Follow the rules of your employment and any applicable laws, that's moral. Thank you. That needed to be pointed out. There are many morally problematic things that are rightfully legal and throughout history many things that aren't immoral that have been illegal, in turn making the laws against them immoral.

What makes sense for the teacher, so they don't lose their job and might wind up on the Sex Offenders Registry, is that they wait til the student is 18, then wait some more until they are no longer a student in that school. If both of you still want to date, have a ball.
No one cares what happens after that.

Morals and ethics are essentially the same thing, and I'm not sure I would call a birth date "legal." Try morality vs legality. Nope. Morals refer to principles. Ethics refer to actions. The moral man knows he shouldn't date a teenager. The ethical man actually won't do it. As far as legality, that just refers to the date for which a person reaches the age of adulthood in that particular state, by law, but not necessarily by maturation.

As far as legality, that just refers to the date for which a person reaches the age of adulthood in that particular state, by law, but not necessarily by maturation. Ethics are based on moral principles, and they both deal with individual perceptions of right and wrong and my dictionary gives the exact same definition for both, word for word. Or as a wise man once said, they are essentially the same thing. Most laws are based on moral principles as well, but I don't think I'm being unethical if I'm doing 41 in a 40 mph zone. To say that a moral man knows he shouldn't date a teenager is to say it's immoral for him to date a teenager. Are you prepared for a debate regarding moral objectivism?

I expect adults to be adults. I side-eye any 40-year-old banging an 18-year-old.

I think in general most 18-year-olds are still kids and vulnerable to predatory adults. It's legal though, so not my business, unless it's my kid. |
