The school has obviously reacted to the behaviour certain teachers showed lately when going out with students and has issued new guidelines for behaviour that is expected. It has been in the work contracts before however.
I think that this sort of behaviour can be really bad for the school's reputation. And that's a pity because GenkiJACS is a cool place and studying there is really enjoyable. Of course we the students were more amused by it than anything and there was a lot of talk about it. But in the end it's unprofessional behaviour and will hurt the school's reputation in the end. Especially parents could become a hesitant to send their kids here and if they learn things like their daughter has made out with a teacher they might try to seriously damage the school's reputation through the agents, media, etc.
And people will not shut up about this, so you can not keep it in the closet. A prospective students who had read my blog asked about the school in general and I replied that I hope this stuff does not put him off coming here because the school's got excellent quality and classes are both fun and productive. He replied that he had already heard these stories on an internet forum, so it was not new.
I think it's good and necessary that GenkiJACS is now reenforcing these rules. It has become too "normal" to be extremely flirty with students or even make out with them as I've seen in one case. I know that that kind of things happen in other schools too and no school can guarantee that it won't happen, it's just that people involved always know that it's not ok and are not making it public.
I will remove names of teachers from the blog. One of them has already seen this blog and apologized, although this is not necessary as it does not affect my own well-being. I don't want to put people on the spot however and I guess the meeting that our school director held should have been quite a warning.
