Do you think students and teachers should be allowed to develop relationships with each other outside of the workplace? What if say, a student and teacher felt as though they were in love. Would you still be against the idea or would you try to think of some way in which they could keep both their professional relationship and personal one ? Just wanna know what people think on this.
It's a tricky one this. On the one hand, there is always a potential danger of the child growing up to feel isolated from society, because they've been bullied at school and labelled 'abnormal' by other kids who have heterosexual parents. The child may be heavily affected by this throughout their life, and feel angry that they are not the same as the majority, causing them to go off the rails.
However, one has to take into account the fact that every child has the right to have two parents, whether they be of the same or different sex. Plus, the population of humans on this planet is bordering on ridiculous, and the amount of kids who are abandoned by parents, or whos parents have simply passed away for whatever reason, is increasing rapidly. Guess what else is increasing rapidly ? Homosexual couples. Doesn't it make sense for the two to co-operate with each other? Talk about killing two birds with one stone. Helping children in need, AND normalising the concept of homosexuals to look after children in the same way that a heterosexual couple would.
What dya reckon guys ? Is the first argument stronger than the latter ?
