Yep, just because people say it is disruptive doesn't make it disruptive. Imagine a gay couple sits together in class every day -- no PDA, but it's obvious they're a couple. Students complain to the professor that they&#x27

I'm sorry this behavior gives you nightmares. I don't find this line of argument compelling though. For example, your Bundy argument appears to imply that it is immoral to have any sort of difficulty in a public place that might

If you know the material, that gives you the power to offer tutoring sessions, which is power over people who don't know the material. >dating your student as a TA is questionable TAs are paid employees who often grade student paper
