I'm wondering if these sentences are correct:
"John is a very lenient teacher. The result of this has been that his students love him."
In the first sentence, we're using the present simple - John "is". Then the present perfect for "the result...has been". Then the present simple for "his students love him."
Is this correct? Or should it all be present perfect:
"John has been a very lenient teacher. The result of this has been that his students have loved him."
Thanks.
