On Tuesday, I got a postcard from my favorite teacher, Ms. Cody. It said - Hi Melissa ~ I am so happy to have you in class again this year! You are the best student anyone could hope for. Your future is bright! -Miss Cody.
What gets me, is I never, ever get anything like this unless I have done something almost equivilent. My friend says that it's nothing to question, it's just my favorite teacher sending her favorite student a postcard, maybe he's right, but what's your opinion anyway and how do I address this? do I send her something in return, I already thanked her in person... This doesn't happen everyday, you know!

to answerer #5 - It's "Miss" because she's not married she does have a boyfriend, though. I never do see her outside of school except for at the library once when I was working there voluntarily. Honestly, she is my friend, and I'll tell you why - She's my hero, I don't know where I'd be if she weren't behind me every step of the way. I say this because all thoughout my life, I'm only a junior in high school now, my mother has never done anything for me, other than give birth to me, and then Ms. Cody comes along, and everything seems alright, she has taught me more than my mom ever did or will, she's like a second mother to me...

If you thank her in person that's all that is necessary or that she probably expected. She seems like a nice teacher, enjoy her class. There are lots of teachers out there who are bitter and lifeless and probably should have retired long ago, consider yourself lucky to have found a good one.

Wow! What an interesting teacher. If I were to have received a postcard like that when I was in school, it most certainly would have been a joke sent by one of my friends posing as a teacher. I think thanking her in person is definitely enough. Sending something in return would be a bit like thanking someone for a thank you note.

You have done what you need to do......acknowledged the card. It does not require any reciprocation from you.
I agree with you that I would have thought it an odd gesture to get a postcard from a teacher who sees you at school. Teachers shouldn't single out 'favorites'. But the fact she sent the card is not your fault. Just acknowledge and move on.

It is not necessary for you to give Miss Cody anything in return. Just get good grades and live your life well. You are very fortunate to have a teacher that really is interested in helping you to have a good life.

That seems quite unusual to me. I have to wonder why it's "Miss" Cody and not "Mrs." Cody. Know what I mean? Being that you thanked her in person, I wouldn't pursue it any further. The wrong idea might be conveyed if not to her, then to your classmates who will wonder why you have a relationship with the teacher outside of the classroom. Teens can be brutal to those they consider teachers' pets. It's probably innocent as your friend says, but teachers getting too close to students could spell trouble. Teachers are supposed to be teachers, not friends. Don't encourage a friendship by being too cordial in return.

I am due June seventh too(moment youngster). I already was once ready to permit my husband believe the youngster transfer. Try laying in your again along with your knees up drawn closer to you. Then positioned stress along with your husbands hand in which youngster movements essentially the most. Worked for me. About 28 weeks you must begin to get the well ones regardless that.

You said "thank you". That's enough.
She's just the kind of teacher who wants her student(s) to know she's looking forward to another year, acknowledges that they're now part of her class, wants them to know she knows they exist, etc.
Its great that you have someone to admire. Its great that you know she cares about you and your future, and I'm sure she does.
What you can do is make her job easier by trying your best, studying, and showing her that you want to do well.

No, you don't send something in return. You did well by thanking her in person.

She is encouraging you like any GOOD teacher SHOULD do!!!!!!!!!! You already thanked her and that's enough. When you get depressed keep her words in mind.
