I would suspect some students would come there to see teachers, and also outside of school. Sounds like a moral choice to me. Personally, I wouldn't do it.

It's like dating people at work. If the relationship goes bad then maybe the student won't come back and I guess the school doesn't want that.

It seems pretty impossible to police. Blanket rules like that are a bit silly. I actually dated a student when I taught, but there's a natural tendency to be discreet.

The rule isn't enforcable, so it's pretty silly. It does bring complications if you're in an eikaiwa where students can take your lessons.

When it's to the detriment of the school's business. I think as a professional it wouldn't be right to take advantage of a paying customer. Beyond that, it's not high school. People are adults and can choose for themselves.

I think it's really professional not to get involved, but once you're in love, then you're in love.
