PLease Help Me! I can't get this of my mind!?

Question

My teacher let's me get away with anything. Then one day i mess around in the hall and she says please don't mess around in the class it's very hard for me to yell at you. Then she sent me this message

"Once in awhile you meet someone that you really click with. For some reason, you seem to understand me pretty well. I feel like when I look at you, you can almost read my mind - very scary!

Anyway, I felt from the beginning of the year that we connected somehow. Like I said, it is VERY hard to explain. So I probably let you get away with way too much this past year.

I will miss having you in class next year, but not because of the whole teaching thing. You got my stupid sense of humor, and I will miss smirking. It was fun to get to know you - keep being you!"

i have no idea what she means. please tell me what you think she mean.

Answer 1

She likes you. She enjoyed being your teacher. She likes you so much she doesn't wan to have to yell at you in the hall or the classroom. She thinks you will be a good person. You remind her of herself. Yep, that pretty much sums it up :D

Sounds like a nice lady.

Don't make it into something creepy. Sounds like she was just being nice.

Answer 2

She just means what she said - it's not any more significant than that. She had a hard time acting as the authority figure you both expected, because she just had an odd feeling of connection with you. It means nothing - it's just one of those things that happens, you meet a stranger and get a weird feeling like there's something about them that just strikes you, and they seem special. For no reason at all -- you probably remind her unconsciously of a babysitter she had when she was 2, or your facial expressions remind her of herself at your age, or somesuch nonsense that has nothing to do with who you actually are. Just forget it.

It was unprofessional of her to write you such a note, and it was poor performance on her part to let this 'feeling' interfere with how she treated you as a student. But as long as she makes no further effort to contact you or play a role in your school life, you can safely let it go, and just give her a withering look if she makes eye contact. If she does try to strike up a friendship, you should tell her you are not comfortable with that and ask her to please leave you alone.

PS I agree with cobra - don't show it to anyone unless you want to get her in trouble. The whole thing is really harmless, but she made a dumb mistake by contacting you.

Answer 3

hmm did it ever happen to anybody here that we liked some teacher very much, and we wanted her/him to be with us for the next class, I bet most of us have experienced this thing once or twice in our life. and this happens in the reverse way too, some students really impact their teachers, and no doubt you are one of them.

Dont think too much about the message! Just think for now that she likes you as a student thats it!! Until and unless she does anything weird, I will say you can feel safe and happy about yourself :)

Answer 4

This message could be interpreted in so many different ways. It could be just impulsive and irresponsible. So, you have to put it into the context of the rest of your teacher's behavior.

You have the right to feel weird or uncomfortable around your teacher even if you are not really accusing her of blatant sexual harassment. Sometimes people just cross boundaries without really thinking about what they're doing.

You could show the note to your principal; I'm sure he or she would understand why you don't like this.

Answer 5

The red light is flashing and I hear the approaching train whistle.....she is off base and not playing with a full deck, assuming of course this really happened to you. A good sane teacher never talks personally like that to a young student so, stay away or go see the principle about the matter.

Answer 6

I just think she is giving you a compliment. She obviously has enjoyed having you in class -- remember, so many kids give teachers a hard time that when there are some kids they can joke around with and still feel like they are teaching them something, they appreciate it!

Just take her message as the compliment it is.

Answer 7

I would say it's probably a good thing you don't have her for class next year and I would caution against ever being alone with her in a classroom.

Maybe I'm alittle old fashioned, but I don't think that is any kind of a note for a teacher to give a student.

Answer 8

I think she means that she felt some-sort-of-out-of-control connection. She enjoyed having you in her class because maybe you reminded her or herself when she was young or maybe someone she knew. She probably just meant that she really felt a bond with you, and you shouldn't be worried. When she says it's "very hard to explain" she probably means something in her past that relates to you and she doesn't want to bring the memory back or explain it to you. She was just being open with you, it's nothing to worry about. =]]

Answer 9

I think she sounds like one of those teachers who steps over the boundaries drawn for a teacher/student relationship. We see it in the news all the time now. Any "connection" she feels with you other than a teacher/student is wrong. She's not your mother, she's not your hang-out buddy, and I certainly hope she's not viewing you as a potentional lover. What it seems like to me is perhaps she sees herself in you since you may have similar characteristics & similar senses of humor. Best to let it go at that. It's definitely not something you should pursue or even give another thought. Anything else would only bring trouble for you & for her.

Answer 10

She means exactly what she says.....that your teacher can connect with you in many ways and enjoys your sense of humor. You're a favorite student. How hard is that to understand
