Yes, but you already established that bright line for what is age of consent. Now it's: you're old enough to have sex, but if the counterparty is your teacher, then it's illegal. Oh, only public school teacher. Not, like, college teacher. Even if it's a public college? Well, sure. But why?
Cuz that's how it is.
That system makes no sense to me. Has no basis in logic. The power dynamics are no different than many other contexts that are handled either civilly or by workplace rules. It's a random, nonsensical, exception to age of consent laws.
