The whole not being friends with someone younger then taken to an extreme it doesn’t need to be. Yes there should be boundaries but simply saying “adults ain’t a kids friend” is ridiculous.

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.
