If you listen to really old teachers and staffroom gossip, that shit was really common and even accepted 30+ years ago. Like teachers would marry their former students.

This is 100% hearsay, so don't @ me if it's bullshit.

my literature/history teacher did this in the early 2000s. repeatedly. a divorced man dating 17 year olds.

everyone knew, no one did anything.

I like to think that things are a lot better now, because I never see this. But who knows. I also don't know that the school system culture is like in your area.

The worst-worst I've seen now is a male teacher asking too personal questions. Still bad, but not anywhere near the level of having a relationship with them.

i have no idea what it's like now. i'm no longer in school (or talk to anyone who's in school).
