I do love all of my students, don't like their behavior all the time, but i genuinely care about the lives of all my students. (But I also have three kids of my own at home!) When I can I go to games, I tutor after school, I go to after school activities WHEN I CAN!
However, as a parent don't you think you would find it a little creepy if your child's teacher showed up everywhere?
Here's how it works it my world anyway...
My students get me from7-4:30, my job hours unless my kids are sick.
THey get me three of the five weeknights, unless my kids have games or programs. (thank god I have a husband who understands)
My children get me first. (Anytime they need me)
My students come second.
I have food in my classroom if a student didn't eat breakfast or lunch.
If students don't have materials, I have extra in my room.
If a child's parents can't buy them coats or glasses, I have helped out or found a way to get their needs met.
Do I love them? Absolutely. Do I want all the responsibilities of their parent? I just can't do it. It's not my place. (I am a teacher not a parent) I have to remember my role and my place in the lives of my students. As a parent, I let my kids invite their teachers to birthday parties (none have come yet), i let them invite them to games ( none have come yet)
But a teacher really has to be careful about not stepping on the parents' toes or looking "stalker" ish.

It is difficult to understand. I am a teacher and I love all my students. I wouldn't say I love them as my own children, but I do love them. I love them even more the more I learn about them and the longer I am their teacher, because I get to know them. I try to go to all the games that I can. When my students are sick, I take their homework to their homes and visit with them if I can. It's not possible to do that for all the students, but I try. I think teachers that say they love them as their own go a little far, but I do believe that teachers love each of their students, because I love mine.

I know it's probably hard to believe but most teachers do genuinely love their students. I know I do, and I've been teaching for more than 30 years. I believe that no teacher can really teach children without firstly having a caring relationship with them. That means getting to know students as people. No matter what the behaviour, all students, who may be difficult at times, deserve to be loved for who they are, not what they do. They also have the right to be educated.

Some of them really do love all of their students. Given the fact that they can't spread themselves between a whole classroom of students multiplied by however many years they have been teaching, I think they have to just stick to spending time with them for that hour or day that they have the student in their classroom, and then let them go. Depending on the student, they may have a closer bond to them and keep in touch with them after they leave.

For me it is my desire to share my knowledge with my students. My greatest wish is to be able to reach all my students, especially those that believe they will not do well and i can prove to them that they have the capability. Although i may not be physically able to do all the things with my students that i can do with my child i still feel love for my students because i would like for them to have a good future and i tell them as i would tell my child that a good education certainly assist in ensuring that they have a great future, and if that is not love, i don't know what is!

in case you adore somebody all you like is whats suited for them, Evan nonetheless he says he does not love you deep down i think of he does yet he needs to get on along with his study and thinks you're able to do the comparable, A cpl of hours a week isn't lots, you're able to think of why do you have lots time to socialize yet he does not? why does he no longer have acquaintances at uni, ask your self those questions and then ask if that's properly worth persevering with with him, you have a brilliant kind of loose time so enable him bypass and circulate on, it is in all threat for the suited, stay acquaintances yet tell him that's all it will be from now as you dont desire to be harm lower back. Sorry this has got here approximately to you yet i'm hoping existence gets extra advantageous xx

We need more words for this feeling we call "love". I love my kids, I love my dogs, I love music, and I love teaching. I feel differently about my kids, my dogs, music, and teaching, but I've only got this one word: "love" to describe each of those different feelings.
Each year I set aside a few minutes to talk to my classes about this lack of words and to tell them that there needs to be a word for how a teacher loves their students.

I have taught school for 12 years and I have loved ALMOST ALL of my students. There are some whose attitudes make it difficult to even like them. I do try to remind myself that they are kids, and I try not to give up on them, but for some it seems there is no hope.

Definitely-I couldn't survive this job if I didn't love my students!!! I think most teachers would find it to be too demanding a job if they didn't love their students.
