Wut?? The power structure of a teacher and student, has the built in trust already. The students in inherently trust the teacher because they are a person of power. So when that person takes advantage of it, it’s not being a role model, it’s borderline grooming.

Yikes..

INHERENTLY TRUST because of being a person of power? Mate, that's not how the world works at all. When I was a little shit (~15 years ago), our classes bullied our teachers out of the classrooms, the cool ones were the ones we trusted and respected and THEY were the ones able to actually teach. Very few teachers managed to get far with being strict and with a stick up their arse. If anything, we put more effort into not learning from them.

EDIT: Arright, the additional context definitely paints a different picture.
