From an ethical standpoint I can see it. You don't want someone in a position of power forcing a student to do something to get a grade. But one could argue that the same power differential exists in the workplace, and I think that's a civil issue and not a criminal issue.
So is your 'stupid' statement aimed at the fact that it's a criminal thing for teachers instead of civil? Or do you think it shouldn't even be a civil thing?
Or maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about. I guess I'm saying that I think it's a good idea to have some recourse against people abusing power in this way. I just don't really know the best way to do that.
