College student dating a teacher

The teacher has been assigned a position of eminence next only to God and the student was always encouraged to stay with the teacher throughout the period of his education.
Unethical relationships between the teacher and the student would have been unthinkable in such a cultural environment.
Students are immature and overwhelmed by their teacher’s personality, they look up to the teacher with admiration; so it is highly immoral to take advantage of these innocent feelings and deepen it to an adult romance. The main fault in a teacher-student relationship is the lopsided power equations. The student is too immature to make a proper decision for himself/herself.
There is no question of a consensual relationship between a teacher and a student. It exploits the emotional vulnerability of the student and vitiates the atmosphere of the class.
Most educational institutions have a policy that bans such romances.
Such a romantic dalliance has adverse effects on classroom dynamics.
