This is an awfully shortsighted stance on the teacher/student relationship.
Look I get that there is some sort of personal relationships with younger kids to get them comfortable with the idea of going to school or whatever, but I don't think it's necessary at all in high school. The only teacher that I had any sort of personal relationship with in high school was my chemistry teacher and that was because he was my best friend's older brother. I don't think I missed anything by not having a personal relationship with my teachers (other than maybe getting laid
).

I hope he looks forward to a career of ditch digging
Dude obviously has problems with sexual impulse control. He won’t be able to weasel into high schools anymore, but that lack of impulse control isn’t going away.
He may end up digging ditches, but it won’t surprise me if it’s eventually from inside the prison system.

But there's definitely some kids that need at least some sort of personal buy in in order to want to learn in a particular class. It's not like I walk around trying to pry/dig in everyones personal shite. I also dont walk around like a robot just worried about "business" either though. I just make myself approachable/human and if a kid needs something they know they can come to me. Half of it is to keep myself sane and make the job more enjoyable for me. If I couldnt have some sort of level of occasional fun with my classes by being myself I'd be miserable here.

Not sure, but he was a teacher at North Vermilion before coming to STM.
We don't put up with that kind of shite at NV, we are pure.

I guess I don't equate personal life with "fun". I don't mean that you have to be a robot just because you are keeping business and personal life separate. You can have fun and establish a rapport with a class without getting personal.

Brook isn't the adult. The dip shite teacher is.
That man is going to prison, as he should.
If Brooke were your daughter, though, or maybe a niece or a member of your church... what would your attitude be? What is the conversation? Is there really nothing other than, "so sorry that happened to you" that she needs to hear here?

are you asking this under the assumption that this was an extortion plot or that this was an actual grooming type incident

What about the teachers who go see a student's piano concert because they have been speaking to the student about his/her love of piano? Or the high school coach/teacher that talks to the boys about his time in the army or job experience. None of this is school related or subject matter related.
Teachers spend hours with our kids, having them develop HELATHY relationships is fantastic. I wish more teachers would do so.
As I said, if a teacher can't tell the parents and the principal exactly what was said between the two, then it's an issue.
no,
teach the class, that is your only job!
and you do NOT GET TO have a RELATIONSHIP.
you are there to teach and maintain order
not to teach social anything! not to be their friend!
PARENTS have the relationship, NOT YOU
because it's THEIR KID, NOT YOUR KID
and maybe learn to spell, too

A relationship between a teacher and a student should be purely business. It should not be personal in the least bit.
I would hope a teacher care more about students than a boss cares about employees.
The reality is, school isn't business - not for a student. They will have plenty of time later in life to have cold, calculated "business" interactions.
Of course, there are lines and boundaries. Those must be respected. But if a kid says good morning or asks the teacher what she ate for dinner last night, for the teacher to say sit down and turn to page 46, is just cold, rude, and unnecessary.

Not your job to get between parents and kids, call the cops

(cringe!!!!!!) No

But maintaining some level of a personal relationship becomes apart of it alot of the time as well.
especially NO
quote:
Again, there has to be clear boundaries (i.e. nothing you wouldnt want a parent or coworker/boss knowing about) but theres nothing wrong with surface level relationships being built.
but there are none, teachers now feel they have the same right to my kids as we do as parents
I will stop here, but can't help wonder a lot of questions about you.
stay in your lane

Your job is to teach a subject matter in a manner that students can learn from. Building a relationship with your students should not be part of it.
Do you manage people in your job?

You're being obtuse now. Saying "good morning" is not personal

I manage relationships with my clients, I'm a consultant. I establish a rapport with clients without getting "personal".
