The problem is just as much perception as it is reality. If a student and teacher are dating, it doesn't matter if the teacher is being fair. Some will still feel there is bias, no matter what. I'm not saying it's fair, but it's life. That doesn't mean, of course, that you have to cater to those people, either. But, it can be bad for the school and can also be bad for business, if you're a for-profit school. Patrick
