In December , in the case of CAC v Teacher F , the New Zealand Disciplinary Tribunal deregistered a teacher for having an inappropriate relationship with a former student, whom he had married. The teacher had taught his future wife as a student at primary school in years 7 and 8, when she was aged 11 to He was 34 years older. She was a student who received extra learning support. Several years after leaving primary school, but while she was still in high school, the now former student — together with another friend — began to visit the teacher regularly, including at his school and his home. They also went to the movies, the beach, and the city together.

Relationships between students and teachers seem to pop up in the news every couple of months. Many of those unsettling unions, however, go unreported, completely avoiding detection or scrutiny. Not all of the instances are as inappropriate as one might assume, though. Some adults seek out their former teachers after graduating; others spend time with professors or TAs during college.

Ask The Educator’s Room: I’m dating a student’s dad. Should we tell the school?

This is incredibly difficult to place down into words because of the shameful nature of what I have done. Following the graduation of one of my students, who is 18 years old, we began seeing each other socially. Within about a month, this led to an admission of attraction, and eventually, we acted on this attraction. By sheer providence, he went on vacation for a couple of weeks, which gave me time to step away from the emotion and ridiculousness of this situation and glean a little perspective. He returned last night, and I adamantly ended the relationship forthwith, but it was not easy.
