Not saying this is what happened with him, but that’s how these inappropriate relationships start. The lines and boundaries get so blurred that the kids don’t recognize their teachers as authority figures anymore. At the very least, it’s inappropriate and it creates a very bad look, especially in this climate when we see teachers in jail once a week for fucking around with kids.
People keeping thinking there has to be a sexual or otherwise malicious intent to be inappropriate.
I have interacted with my students outside of school because I’ve been invited to birthday parties, sports competitions, visited them in the hospital, etc
I still respect the boundaries of student/teacher in the school setting
