High School?
Okay then.
Is it okay for students and teachers to hang out outside of class?
It's cool I feel but social stigma being what it is it wouldn't look good for the teacher. Not too bad but is a catalyst for suspicion.
Text each other on a regular basis?
Depends on the content and context of the texts. Moderately disconcerting.
Going to movies?
This is bad. There is no justification for it, male student to male teacher; female student to female teacher, or any other combination.
Basically, can teachers be regarded as "buddies" to students, or should it remain strictly professional?
They can be buddies, but there's a line, a limit, to just how much is buddy, and how much is bad.
