What must a teacher do to "cross the line"? And how do you know if a teacher Is "grooming" a student? What are the signs?

[ScottGem]

A teacher crosses the line when they extend the parent/teacher relationship outside the classroom.

Why do you ask?

Also "grooming" is a term associated with pedophiles who set up minors for sex. Is that what you think is happening?

A teacher crosses the line when they do inappropriate things with a student in or outside of the classroom. Any suspicious behavior should be reported by colleagues. So, if you are the student, tell your parents or another teacher. Teachers must report inappropriate behavior, period.

And what exactly is "inappropriate" when talking about a teacher and student relationship?

Why don't you tell us and we'll tell you if it's inappropriate.

I was just curious. Thanks for the information :)

I don't have any examples, its more like I would like to have the information. Thank you though for helping.

I see you like your teacher and have a crush on him...

I've heard stories of kindergarten teachers getting in serious trouble for simply giving a crying student a quick sympathetic hug.

It depends on how the hug takes place. A quick pat on the shoulder or a pat on the back is sufficient, but always done when others are around.

If it looks bad or is questionable, then teachers shouldn't be involved in it. If you like your teacher, which you've said before, why are you still asking? You should have distanced yourself.

Based on your other thread this is clearly more than idle curiosity. And the actions of your teacher are clearly inappropriate as the responses to your other thread show.
