Fair enough, and whilst everyone's discussing it . . . what are the rules there like on the matter? I mean in the US/UK teachers risk jail-time, and even if the student is legally an adult they nearly always lose their job, is that the same in Japan? I mean I can understand it being legal for a teacher to marry/date an ex-student, but if he/she was dating a current student what would the situation be then? Also - if it's legal - isn't there a worry about bias as far as grading and things go?
