I have always had close relationships with my teachers but at the discretion of my parents. Talk to the childs parents and get written permission so down the line your back is covered if anything tries to transpire.

I had a few teachers that shared outside activities with the students and mostly they made sure there was at least 2-5 kids.
If the student has other adult friends and does not see age as an issue than no problem as long as the teacher and parents are comfortable also.
If the kid wants to hang out and drink beer I would say no but the knowledge you could share with a true friendship could be great.
and not just you could teach him but what he could remind you of from your younger days

I do not know what country you are in, but in the United States right now the climate is too paranoid to start with. This is not about you, it is about the climate where things happen. Trust used to be an issue. But now, anyone who is friends with someone younger is suspicious goods. Isn't that pathetic? If you are sure enough of yourself to dispel all of these sad overtones, then cultivate that friendship by all means, but as the other writer said, establish some boundaries, so you will be in charge of the course of this friendship, even if it is relaxed and casual. I agree with the writer who stated much of your knowledge can be given to such a person as your new friend. There is another possibility - if this just seems touchy right now, too delicate, in other words - simply wait until later when age will not figure quite so much into the equation. Kepp in touch, in other words. When I was at prep school, I had ongoing friendships with every one of my teachers, from the French teacher from Algiers, to the English teacher from Edinborough, to the history teacher from U.S.A. They all knew I was absorbing knowledge like a sponge, so they all gave me as much of their personal experience as I could hold. My English teacher profoundly refined my appreciation of classical music, and my French teacher taught me the subtleties and nuances of what makes something funny, like a telling a joke or irony when telling a story. I look back on that year (PG) in Yarmouth, Maine, U.S.A. as one of the most jam-packed years of my life, not just in the classroom, but outside the classroom where life lessons are learned every day. Sent with lots of good energy from - G. in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A.

A teacher should show his/her students that he/she will be there for the student even outside of school. You can do this by helping them out with problems etc.

Are you crazy? You are asking for trouble. You are the teacher not the child's friend. Remember he or she is a child. The only way you would do something outside of school is with the parent.

I'm just curious about you, and all your questions about teachers, students, education... are you a teacher, or just a concerned parent, or what?
