Is it appropriate for a high school student to ask their teacher to prom?

[Billybob46]

What are your thoughts on that?

[DishLady]

Nope. What are YOUR thoughts on that? You don't see the ethical boundary being crossed?

[RedInnocent69]

No. Even if the teacher were permitted to yes, which they aren’t, the student would get beat up by their peers

[Billybob46]

Why beat up by their peers?

[Shiprex]

Not in the slightest. It's professional suicide UNLESS that teacher is also a parent

[Billybob46]

You mean for them to accept? I think it wouldn't be too bad for her student.

[Billybob46]

*THE student
Typo

[Shiprex]

For the teacher to accept it would be very dangerous and put up questions as to WHY such a thing where alcohol and other substances were consumed around people you have a professional relationship with and duty of care towards.

[NoDecision]

Very much so. Now, if it were college and the student were over 18 no one would care.

[Billybob46]

My cousin was 18 and asked his history teacher to the senior prom, she said yes.

[NoDecision]

You don't mess with teachers and your life. This prevents grooming for sexual activity.

[Emmytexrex]

TF what if you can turn it around is it appropriate for your high school kid to ask a teacher to prom your honest answer

[Billybob46]

Yeah, my cousin asked his history teacher to prom two months ago.

[PeachyPie93]

No that is weird asf and the teacher could lose their job lol

[MemeSupreme]

no it'd have to be such a specific thing for it to NOT be weird

[WonderingManII]

This makes me laugh.

[Billybob46]

My cousin actually did it this year. Lol

[Kelly6]

@Billybob46 sounds normal to me

[Billybob46]

My cousin asked his to prom.

[Kelly6]

Did teacher say yes?

[Billybob46]

Yes.

[jazzy34]

Not just inappropriate. It’s illegal.

[Billybob46]

It's prom not sex.

[alli-112]

Obviously not?

[andreasderjuengere]

That's more a pre-school thing I think.
