Teacher -student relationship exist nowadays, Could we blame the teachers for having this kind of relationship? Could we condemned the teacher in which the only mistake is also to LOVE?

Daisy In my view it is wrong for a teacher to love his student. The relationship is that of teacher and taught and that should not be mis interpreted or misused. May be young mylot members may have a different view in this regard. good day

it is not wrong to love a student or a teacher. what makes it wrong is how you distinguish your being a teacher (your profession) from your personal life. you should know were to place your self in the part of the teacher. otherwise both of you will end in a mistaken affection.

I agree with ravisivan and criscullen. There should be a limit drawn between professionalism and personal life. Of course, we can't blame them if there is love. But being responsible enough to your actions count.

Daisy_22 Feelings are not wrong..what is wrong is to act on the feelings inappropriately. A student/teacher relationship does not last forever..the student moves on. Better to wait to take any actions on the feelings and see if the feelings last and if they have true menaing..

correct....if the feeling will last until the student will not be a student anymore then the feelings i guess is true.And that time they can already fight their feelings together.

Hello Daisy and welcome to myLot. Often a student will have what is called a crush on his or her teacher. I had one on my fifth grade teacher but he never even new it. There isn't a problem with the student having a crush on a teacher but the problems comes when the teacher decided to return that crush and acts inappropriately. Many times it is the teacher taking advantage of the student because of lack of experience by the student. In my country teachers are not allowed to interact with students in this way. They can lose their jobs.

I would say that a responsible adult, if they really love someone, can wait. The certain student should be mature enough to know about potential consequences and wait until she/he leaves school and becomes legal of age. With that being said, I think some of the charges are ridiculous, especially if the student is over 16, because then they are more mature... at least they know whom they wanna date and think about love in a more mature way than like a 13-year-old.

What you've said I think is the ebst solution.They really love each other they need to sacrifice.So they need to wait the right time when the student will not be a student anymore and at that time they can continue their love story...what do you think?

You are giving a glimpse of story of a very famous book "PYGMALION" written by George Bernard Shaw. In this story a girl falls in a love with his teacher. But the teacher refuses her love and convey her to make her relationship pious with him. For better learning the pious relationship is needed as provides concentration mainly on work. There is no room for a student's concentration to fragile when the relationship is only of teaching and learning.

I think it all boils down to the maturity of the child who is in love with the teacher who is older than they are. Children do know how to love but they do not always make the right decision on which is true love for a person they want a relationship with.

Though we mention about maturity i guess the teacher has the great responsibility if that relationship because in the eyes of the people the teacher is really wrong. Teacher is being look up as to have a good morale and a role model in the society.

That is very true. They have to stop and think that they are only children. They are not old enough to actually know what their heart really wants.

we can't blame them,they're just humans and we can't dictate them what's wrong or right..maybe on other people's eyes it's wrong but if they're on the situation they can't say it's a mistake.

in that situation maybe the teacher has something to decide because if that issue will continue then in the eyes of the people the teacher is the one responsible with it1

Love has no mistake. and It is no difference to love different persons. But the teacher and student, such relationship don't good. Maybe you can hide your love and when you graduate from school, you can love bravely.

love is no mistake.right!It is also not good idea!you're also right!But hide your love perhaps you're right. I guess they just need to wait at the right time that the student will not be a student anymore..And if that time comes they will be able to continue their love story.
