Is this flirting or being too friendly with a student? My teacher tells his class a story,& at the end of the story he will turn to a girl,& ask her,"did you like that story?", & smiles at her,.Is that flirting or being too friendly?
He talks to this girl a lot,like they talk about CSI all the time,he brags to the class about how smart she is, he more nice to her,then he is to most of the class. He 29 and she 14. Don't you find this a little weird?

Yes, based upon what you wrote above.

Yeah it is weird. Tell the principle or another teacher, there are so many perverted teachers popping up these days, especially in public schools.
In my history class, one of our regular subs is one of the frosh baseball coaches, he flirts with girls all the time when he's subbing. Sometimes he's just talking, but he's too interested in having young female attention. The fool is probably in his 30's, going bald, and has that short puggy look. These lonely grown ups are all over the place.
You should realize that these adults haven't been in high school in years, so they have opinions were they really shouldn't. High school was a really different world when they were in, but they still want to be a part of it, either by sharing their increditable advice, or by being too friendly with students. Either way, these adults need to learn their place and boundaries, and if they don't, there are consequences for their actions.

Teachers have to have a buffer between their emotions and their students. It seems obvious that he thinks she's a bit more deserving than the other students. If this is all that happens, I don't think it's actionable- it's not illegal. But if he gives the impression that he likes her (more than any other student) then he's asking for trouble. She's both his student and a minor.
Is the girl smart? Does she merit more attention? Those are irrelevant. He can't get too noticeably close to one of his students.
He's putting his career on the line and he's doing a disservice to the other students.
Are you a bit jealous? Maybe. But that's just you. You'll deal with this on your own, not here.
I suspect his behavior is obvious to other students, and that's where the rub lies.

Back when I was in school she would be referred to as the Teacher's Pet.
You might bring it to his attention about how he is making the rest of the class feel, then ask him if he's ever heard of Deb Lafevre, the blond bombshell who had an affair with a student now is a registered sex offender and can't even be around children.
Ask him if he want's to chance that. Plus having sex with a 14 year old mathmetically equals 25 years in the joint.

Yeh it is a bit strange! Especially if he's treating her different to the rest of you,
seems like they know each other on a more personal level which I don't think is neccessary for teacher and student

Well, upon what you wrote. They could know each other previously. But if they don't, i wouldn't really consider it flirting. It's more of favoring another student.

Seems more like favoritism than flirting. Still not a good thing...

Would you rather he beat her with a stick in front of the whole class?

Jealousy is always an ugly thing, kid.
