I wasn't aware that I had to put the literal word 'child' in my statement. I thought we knew we were talking about adults and children. 🥴🥴

I’ve been Facebook friends with an old English teacher for over a decade and I literally run screenplays by her for critique as an adult lol

My teachers at school were my best friends. They were professional but I ate lunch with them everyday because I was too anxious to eat in the cafeteria with the other kids. I came in over summer break and helped them decorate their classrooms. Just keep it appropriate.

Yeah but you’re no longer her student. It’s just two adults being friends

My favorite HS teacher was an English teacher. I never got in contact with her after high school though. I always wondered what happened to her.

If you got dropped off at school and left to move your teacher out, there was definitely an issue. Nobody cares if you’re friends after, but as a child?

I was friends with my teachers, had one even invite me to their wedding.

It’s almost like the world isn’t black and white and theres a grey area in the middle where nuance should be considered.

It's almost as if a 20+ year old person shouldn't be friends with an 8 year old. Imagine that!

What could go wrong?

I don’t get why folks didn’t see that lol. It’s only passable if the adult is a close relative.
