Not sure how I feel about this. Hell, I think it's a little weird even if it were a straight marriage. Nevertheless, I'm happy that the teacher's bisexuality has remained pretty much a non-issue within the school community.

Thoughts?
Here’s what I know about the realm of possibility—it is always expanding, it is never what you think it is. Everything around us was once deemed impossible. From the airplane overhead to the phones in our pockets to the choir girl putting her arm around the metalhead. As hard as it is for us to see sometimes, we all exist within the realm of possibility. Most of the limits are of our own world’s devising. And yet, every day we each do so many things that were once impossible to us.

I think it's nice that he's offering his students to be a part of it. I don't find it very weird. I've been invited to a couple of my teachers weddings. Definitely great that they seem so supportive of him.

Agreed. Then again, I see no issue in having relationships with teachers (nonsexual ones.)

Well, it really depends on the overall relationship (nonsexual, of course) which Mr. Math Teacher entertained with his students. Since it seems like the children were eager to go, I don't see what the problem is. Granted, it's not typical, but if the school makes up such a tight-knight community, well, the more power to them!

I don't think it's weird, in fact I think it's quite common! My aunt's a dance teacher and at her wedding last year her senior class attended the wedding reception and performed some routines.

I think it's quite nice, if not a little crazy. i'd quite like to be a teacher and i'd certainly be out to the kids if i were, but i would not invite them to my wedding, i think thats a bit mad.
