I disagree because
I don't think it is healthy to get Rachel's hope up.
Although it
is not unusual for a student to have a crush on a teacher
at some point, it is totally wrong to act on it.
His
Coldness May Be On Purpose
I think that
the coldness she feels coming from him is because he realizes
she has a crush and is being as professional as he can be.
She must understand that no matter what her feelings, nothing
is going to happen while she is an underage student of his.
It is his job as the adult in the situation to be clear
about that, and his personal life should have nothing to
do with his relationship with SIXTEEN YEAR OLD Rachel.
She
Won't Like Him 10 Years From Now
She is very mature,
special and talented -- things to treasure. Unfortunately,
sometimes those very things make finding a boyfriend difficult.
That doesn't mean that she should try to get closer to someone
who is twice her age, morally and legally inappropriate
for her, and someone she probably wouldn't give the time
of day to in ten years.
Rachel, honey,
just wait until you get to college! Believe me, you will
find that special connection you have with this teacher
is much more common than you think, when you get in a music
program where there are people from all over who are just
like you. I know it's hard now, but trust me, you'll meet
someone right for you.
Charlie, are you twisted?
