teacher+student=trouble


Question Posted Wednesday June 3 2009, 6:29 pm

so my band director hes in like his 20's & hes married. We are really close like he's my second dad, I trust him alot. Since we have such a close relationship we walk to classes together or like we'll be in band & he'll pick me out of the crowd to do an errand. My favorite is when my lunch table goes up to get lunch he sits w/ me & keep me company b/c I pack. He also lets me come down for a lesson whenever I please, like all i would have to do is show up & he doesn't care because he's happy to help me but w/ everyone else they need to be assigned a lesson time. EVERYONE thinks him & I are doing it. It's ridiculous. I tell everybody that we are just chill &.. his wife is pregnant! It's crazy I can't be anywhere in the hallway w/ him alone or people would whistle. What's your take on our relationship, creepy.. it's to close.. we should be strictly teacher student?

It's not a big deal since nothing is going on HOWEVER it is a big deal when people think you are. Although you shouldn't listen to what people say, he can get into a lot of trouble if people start talking too much and administration & security find out.

In my opinion, it seems like he's crossing the student/teacher line. It's great that he treats you this way, but there should be a professional barrier.

Also, when kids (high school/middle school doesn't matter) get drama started, they find it amazing to watch. The problem with that is that some kid might let it slip that you two are "involved" and he can get fired, or forced to resign. This is horrible, of course, especially since he's got a kid on the way.

I suggest you find a way to ease it up a little bit because you dont want any trouble starting. I'm not saying stop talking to him, but dont give people reasons to start rumors that can harm you and him.

Hope this helped.

i wouldnt say neccasarly you have to be strictly student teacher but maybe you could cut down a little on the time you soend together during school hours for examples you could stop having him sit by you at lunch or walk you to classes.you two can still spend time together just not as much.



hope a works out

I don't know how old you are or if you're in middle or high school... but as long as you're not doing anything inappropriate it, it's perfectly FINE. Do you like him in a romantic way or do you just feel very close to him, in a 2nd dad way like you said? Has he ever touched you in a romantic way or hinted at liking you? I'm sure you see where I'm going here. You guys have not crossed any lines and people whistle because thats the way kids/teenagers are. You should feel lucky to have a close relationship with a teacher and that you can count on him. Just make sure it stays in the boundary lines (as in, don't hang out outside of school or call eachother)
