i understand that they're just teenagers, but wow, these students irritate me... why would you ever bring a teacher into your love drama? let alone if they're perfectly within their right to date another teacher, considering they're actually an adult. did she really think an adult in a actual legal relationship is someone stealing away her crush??
treating a teacher like your high school friend who cheated with your boyfriend is bizarre to me. and i know everyone's different, but i don't think i'd have reacted or even thought like that even as a middle schooler.
and why do the teachers have to tip toe around the students' romantic lives? a student freaks out on you for going on an outing with another teacher and your first thought is to "consider their feelings before acting" and "pick somewhere further to avoid misunderstandings"...?? it quite literally feels like the teachers are high schoolers as well.
these teachers (or at least mc) really don't have any boundaries with their students. it's one thing to bond with and cherish your students and another to let them walk all over you. at the end of the day, it's still a teacher-student relationship, they're not peers and she shouldn't let them think of her that way.
i don't think i've ever read something so insanely frustrating. and with so much trivial overblown drama that shouldn’t matter to any adult.
