Is a teacher student relationship unethical?

[Pro24]

How ethical/unethical it is? 

Assume they are mature adults 18+.

As a teacher you shouldn't be biased when it comes to exams or these kinds of things; and if you decide not to be biased, that can affect negatively the relationship.

Many schools don't allow a student-teacher relationship, where I study a teacher isn't even allowed to go for a coffee outside of school. 

If you're classmates know you're in a situationship with the teacher they will most likely make fun of that, or simply be more distant.

Idk how unethical it can be, but for sure it has many disadvantages that "normal" relationships don't usually have. The only unethical thing that comes to mind is the first point I made.

What if the student is mature and understanding...the relationship is based on maturity....it won't affect the relationship.

Let's not talk about these. Assume this won't happen. Things can be hidden. 

I m neither a teacher not a student. I was infatuated by a female teacher in the past. So I m asking this. I think it's not unethical.

When both of us moved to different places, I had a mild shock for 1 year. Waves of sadness arose from time to time. Now everything is okay. I don't give a damn about it. @manuel bon

How old is the student? Average student is not so mature. And also how would you feel if your partner (teacher) treats you like shit at school (because that's how they do with other students), and then home is great? 

There has to be a professional relationship between any teacher and student. Once you're in a romantic one, the professional relationship goes out the window.

So you want the relationship to be only in your house? I wouldn't want to hide myself and partner from the world. Remember that in most places this relationship is not allowed, so you can't even go to a bar without being paranoid. Or you can also be chill about it, and then face the consequences ofc.

@manuel bon yes it has some problems like any other relationship. But it is not unethical. 

Our society has created some fixed templates for relationships. That they should be of these 5-10 types. But it can be of 1000 types actually.

It's unethical on a professional level

That's not an ethical problem in itself, but you can be fired for that because you have a means of pressure on your partner.

A infinitely mature snake and infinitely mature mouse can live together but I would highly question that you are aware of your own biases. That you even suggest such an idea shows that you probably aren't even aware of your biases.
