I have gone out with students before. In my last company I worked with the same students for 2 years and I knew them all very well. We would go for lunch together (extra practice for them or Spanish for me).

I never saw it as a problem, but I think that is just the way I am. I don't like to think of myself as seperate or higher than them...we are all just people.

I can understand. In South Korea, there is a stress on teachers being of a higher status than students. Therefore, things a quite different. The students treat you differently. They even act differently around you.
