Recently a high school band director in the county where my workplace is, lost his job for having an affair with a student --- this band director was married, had a couple of small children, and was highly regarded by his students, their parents, and other band directors. Apparently he was not a 'mensch' and let the situation get out of hand -- now his career and possibly his family life are ruined, and the student with which he had the relationship may carry emotional scars, and the integrity of the profession has taken a hit. The bottom line is that adults in situations like these must say NO, even if it's painful for both parties.
