I taught in a juco for a couple of years -- Human Anatomy & Physiology, one of the make-or-break courses for nursing and allied health. As a general rule, the students were highly motivated and hard-working. But I had a couple of young women who looked to boost their average on their backs and I could sense it wasn't their first rodeo. I NEVER had a one-on-one except in my office and I made sure the door stayed open. Not quite true: I held set hours for assistance with the lab portion of anatomy. It would take a looney to get frisky in an anatomy lab.

My opinion of teachers is in conformity with WINGAS. Including an expectation that teachers are mindful that they are in a far greater position of authority than a cop or a judge, IMO. Judges and cops are adversarial for the most part. Teachers are trusted guides. People do not go to a cop or a judge in order to voluntarily seek a fundamental change in themselves.

The more open a student is to intellectual change, the more vulnerable the student will be to unscrupulous manipulation by teachers.
