I passed out from my school last year.This teacher is one of my favourites &so to keep in touch with her after school I asked her her email address.So I used to write to her and she used to reply too , whenever she gets time.But now for the past few months she has not replied at all!It is not that she does not check her mails.But she never replies to me.What is the matter?How do I solve this problem?Is she angry with me or is she avoiding me????????If so what may be the reason?

One shouldn't have favourites I know but I taught for thirty nine years and would have hundreds of ex students whose affection I treasure, some have even called me their "mentor" ( now isn't that an honour).
That your teacher kept in touch for so long is a compliment to you you. You must be pretty wonderful (and probably both!)
Please consider this. Right now your teacher is enriching the life of other students as she did yours.
Having given you so much it now behoves you to fly out of the nest in which your teacher nurtured you. Life as you will appreciate (with much grief and pain I fear) is about "moving on".
My ex students, now adults, introduce me to their partners and kids with recollections of their school days that I have quite honestly forgotten about. There is still "love" there though and always will be.
Please don't expect what is unrealistic. You have done nothing wrong.

Don't take that personally. Sometimes people get distracted with something that's going on in their lives that takes all their energy temporarily.
Or maybe she abandoned that email account because she got too much advertising in it. I've done that, and opened a new one to start over. Can you write a snail mail letter? Maybe inside a pretty note card? You can say you've missed her.
Whatever the reason, it's not likely she's mad at you.

There could be a thousand reasons why she isn't writing and nothing to do with you. Like a death in the family, illness, issues that she is dealing with. The best advice that I can give to you is let it be for awhile and if she doesn't write then move on. Just don't take it personal...this things happen. Maybe one day you will know or not. There are experiences in life that are a mystery and then suddenly years later, you see.

my son and his wife are teachers.they are young,and the kid's think they can call,e-mail and just drop by their house whenever they want. they have had favorite student's in the past and have kept in contact with a few.but you have to remember they have families they need to take care of.when they get home at night they prepare the lessons for the following day and read reports and grade papers. teachers don't have an 8 hour day.she is probably busy with her new students,and thinks you wouldn't be interested in what is happening with her now. no,i'm positive she is not angry,or avoiding you.she's just super busy. e-mail her once more and tell her your thinking about her and if she has a minute you would like to hear from her.don't take it personally if she doesn't respond.she's just to involved with her current students.

Maybe she has some things going on in her life that is hard for her to cope with. Friendships are a two way street, and sometimes we forget to ask how the other side is doing and if there is anything we can do to help them.
Also, expressing appreciation for one's good deeds goes a very long way.

She's probably just very busy, hasn't got much to say, and perhaps you are writing her more often than she thinks is appropriate or perhaps you bore her a little. Or maybe she just doesn't like writing back and forth. I'm one of those people who slacks off on contact with friends too. Maybe she is having a crisis in her life that she doesn't want to talk about. Don't worry that you've done anything wrong. You haven't. Just try to keep the correspondence very purposeful. She probably considers your relationship to be mostly professional, actually - like, you chat in friendly way, but mostly she probably thinks her role is to give you guidance, rather than be a confidante/bosom-buddy type friend.

She is probably just busy. Teaching is a very demanding job - give her a break. These kinds of friendships often do not last, and there are probably many more students like you

She may be too busy with her work load and current students to maintain a correspondence with former students.

maybe she found out that she could get in trouble for having some type of relationship with a student outside of school. whether it's intimate or not.
