Different note
I heard a story about an Instructor who said to his student:
"When you address me you will refer to me as SIR"
This was thought to be a joke HOWEVER he was deadly serious on this.
*After hearing this, you can imagine where the student went... relocated*
Just thought I'd put it out there since we discuss instructors who are inflexible.
Facebook wise I have many friends both student and instructors. As student to Instructor we kept things at a minimum, rarely went for pints. On one occasion my instructor joined us for 1 pint since we finished our CPL test. That's about the extent.
To this day we are well friends.
As for romantic relationships I think it can develope HOWEVER one should avoid it. I mean you can't really be teaching someone whilst also in a relationship with them.
Better to reassign them to someone else and perhaps even in a different school.
