Oh, ok, sorry if I assumed bad things about you. :P Just wanted to point that out just in case. I guess the best thing would be to wait until it comes up while talking about unrelated things.

Really leaning towards "No, they haven't broken up," now.
@Padur: Crush on a teacher? Yeah, I've had a few. It feels weird at first, but it becomes sort of normal. As long as you're within the age of consent, there should be nothing wrong with trying to ask her out (though, naturally, the chances of even getting out to have a couple of coffee are very, very low).
In any case, it's up to people whether to ask teachers out or not. Me, I never asked, though I'd consider doing so after I'm no longer their student (becasue I don't want to make things awkward).

I'm pretty sure most reputable institutes of education have rules against teachers dating students, actually. Regardless of consent.

Mukora's correct on that one. I'd be surprised to see any college where that isn't a rule.

yeah it's kind of a conflict of interest.
i knew a teacher that dated one of his students, but that was only after she wasn't his student anymore.

That is sometimes okay? I know there are rules against it in most places whether or not they have graduated your class.

well i meant that the student was not a student anymore period, she had been out of high school for a few years.

Oh high school? I was thinking college.
Uh, i don't have much to say on that, then.

That's even creepier
Still just awesome like that
Are people actually seriously entertaining the idea of that being a good idea? That's, um, hm.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

is anyone? i was just reciting an anecdote.
it's not really a good idea necessarily, since you know, age gaps, problems, etc.

My sister has a inter-generational friendship with an art teacher. She has a crush on him, but she knows having a potential relationship is a big no-no. He's a mature guy and very aware of the world around him, so I doubt it'll turn weird or cringe-y.
Life is hard, that's why no one survives.

As long as Juno doesn't happen in real life, you're good, I'd guess.
Seriously what the hell was with that scene in that awful movie
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.
Juno is a great movie, its just that that character is awful, which is kind of the point.
Basically though, a relationship with someone who is in a position of power over you is hardly ever a good idea. Most often that means someone who is underaged with someone older, or a student and teacher (and those two often overlap). So long as both partners are equals, its fine.
Still just awesome like that
I have many problems with that movie beyond that scene.

i've never seen juno. i just kind of knew it as that one movie where Ellen Page plays a pregnant teenager.
Our Favorite Cowgirl, er, Mare
Don't get me started. My old guitar teacher, who used to be a longstanding friend of mine, and a person who shaped large parts of my personality, ended up in a "relationship" with one of his pupils. She was barely 16 by the time; he was already over 60(!). It went on for quite a while, unchecked, and only ended after he started to get sexually violent with her. And then another 2 years passed by, until the actual truth came out, because he was pretty damn good at manipulating the folks around himself in his favour.
Fear the cinnamon sugar swirl. By the Gods, fear it, Laurence.
Chalk yet another reason down for me to hate the school systems of today....
Oh, right. I forgot to post it.
Well, old news, blah blah, I have a girlfriend now, yay.
Blah blah blah she loves me I love her, budding romance that seems to basically follow the textbook on human romantic relationships, which is great.
She's super cute.
FHRITP.

Congrats, Hopey.
This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

@Tape: Jesus. And I thought my old guitar teacher was creepy when he started leaving threatening messages to the teacher I was going to switch to from him.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.
What I meant was I wasn't sure how to going about finding out if they really broke up or not. I'm thinking there's no way I can ask her directly without her figuring out why I'm asking, but maybe I'm just overthinking things again.
