Books Teacher Student Relationships Novels & Stories

"They were in the same faculty cohort when the athletics director joined the university. Carver said they were close in the way that people are close when they arrive somewhere new at the same time and build their positions together." "Mutually dependent," Riley said. "Carver's word was aligned," Liam said. "He said they were professionally aligned in ways that went beyond normal collegial relationships." He paused. "And then he told me something he said he has been sitting on for two years and did not know where to put." The library was quiet around us. The morning light was coming properly through the north window now, the flat grey giving way to something slightly warmer. A student walked

The soft click echoed in the room. She cleared her throat. “Today will be strictly business. We have a student-teacher relationship and that is simply what it is going to be. These two hours will be used for actual tutoring. Nothing else.” I nodded, even though I completely disagreed. “Of course, Professor.” We started the lesson. I asked questions about Nietzsche and existential dread. She answered clearly, professionally. For the first thirty minutes, she held it together. But I could see the cracks forming.

She said, giving me a hope because that what I really wanted so that everyone would stop bad mouthing about Ryan. “Really?” “If a teacher is in a sexual relationship with a student who is minor, he gets fired and his teaching license is taken away. He gets charges with fine and few months or years of prison, I don’t remember exactly. But if it’s a former student or former teacher then only some fine is charged to the teacher only if he is proven to have relationship with the student before the student left the school or teacher resigned. That only if the student was of age of consent, if not, then teacher can face severe penalty for having a relationship with such student as it is considered

Just like a teacher had the right to choose a student, so does a student have the right to choose or accept a teacher, likewise. “Good. From now hence, you shall refer to me as Teacher Kira.” Clenching my fists, I said with a lowered head, “Teacher Kira, Stephanie pays respect to you!” Pleased, she nodded and tapped my shoulder, gracefully. “It seems your prowess is still innate, at the moment. With quality grooming, you should be able to unleash it, bit by bit, and become the greatest Beast Tamer of your age. “Now that fate has bond us with this teacher and student relationship, be sure that the world would have you to reckon with.”

But it'd be worse to engage in close relationships with them. Lessons went on with almost no breaks in between. Nancy Reed, the chemistry and class teacher; Sam Lee, the literature teacher; Maddie Hart, the history teacher; and a few others she couldn't remember. Spending eight hours in school listening to human logic was crap—a total waste of time. She didn't need to know how the scientific theories in this world manipulated human ways of thinking. All the technical terms and relationships—first law, second law, and whatnot—were obviously lies meant to ease, or to be more exact, to cover the reality of supernatural phenomena. She hated them. Too ridiculous.

Mrs Hasegawa explained to her colleagues. "Bonds, friend or boyfriend? More like a relationship to me". "Miss Kaneki, they have bonds, doesn't mean it is a relationship something or they want to marry. Please give the kids a break, I bet the boy feels the same way too" a male teacher chipped in.

“I-I mean, so does that mean that I won’t hold any responsibility for that child? That I won—“ “You don’t have to worry about that, Miss Laurier. The deal is to carry my child alone.” I wanted to ask more about it but I chose to keep quiet and nod my head even though I am still confuse on what may happen in the future. I wet my lips as I went back on the papers once again until I reach the last page of the document. “The relationship of both parties should be hidden, given from the fact that they are in student-teacher relationship…” I look up at him. “So how are we supposed to work my condition in this deal?” “You mean our business to the ex-boyfriend?”

I open my laptop. The university's internal portal loads slowly. Policies. Ethics guidelines. Faculty conduct. I scroll until I find the section I already know too well. Staff–Student Relationships. Clear. Direct. Unambiguous. Academic staff must not engage in romantic or sexual relationships with students they teach or supervise. Violation risks disciplinary action. Suspension. Termination. The policy exists for good reason. Power imbalance. Academic integrity. Professional ethics. Every argument makes perfect sense. And yet— My mind returns to the lab. Céline sitting at that loom. The quiet focus in her eyes. The silk thread moving between her fingers like she had been born doing it. Not f

"It was all my fault. I was throwing myself at him and he was turning me down left and right. When he found out that I was in trouble, he became my friend, sir. Nothing more. He's been very kind to me. I don't think a few kisses exchanged between us constitutes him getting fired." His eyebrows shot up and it was then that I realized I had said too much. "Kisses exchanged? Between you and Coach Collin?" Shit. "I mean- I am over 18, sir. That isn't illegal, is it?" Shut up, Saige, before you keep putting your foot in your mouth. "No, it's not illegal, but according to state laws, a student/teacher relationship is." He leaned forward, glaring at me. "I was going to bring you in regarding your s

I blurt out, quickly turning and walking away before he can say anything. It takes a few deep breaths for me to calm down. Only when I get into my car and start the engine do I finally relax. What a prick. He's my teacher, for crying out loud. He shouldn't be using that dangerous tone. He should just teach the class—preferably without being such an ass about it. I glance at the book lying on the passenger seat, trying to smooth out the crease on the cover. It’s permanent, of course. Great start to tutoring.
