How many FEMALE teachers can HONESTLY say they have had an attraction to a STUDENT(S) of the opp or same sex?

Question

I'm just curious because teachers are human just like students. i'm a 19 yr old female in college. but in high school i had this little weird period when i think this female teacher had a thing for me and i did too. i just felt the vibe but it was just one of those things i think about and laugh snce nothing would have happened anyway...

Answer 1

Yeah, I just recently finished college in April of this year and I had one female teacher whom I absolutely adored. Nothing ever happened, but when I look back on it the whole thing seemed weird. I would talk to her and every now and then and we would hug...(minds out of the gutter), but it was all soooooo weird. I'm still confused to this day, but she was also engaged at the time to a man.

Answer 2

it is nevertheless a incorrect. A 13-year old boy nevertheless has a great form of maturing to do and could be too crushed via the sexual journey to make the to blame and rational options envisioned of somebody in a sexual relationship, that's why the statutory rape rules have been written in the 1st place. those are boys particularly out of childhood or maybe drawing close them for having intercourse would desire to be a criminal offense, no remember how warm instructor is.

Answer 3

Maybe not an attraction, but i am sure some people might find someone pretty, ugly, unattractive or average. But I dont think it is attraction. It all depends on first opinions and what you see.

Answer 4

Not a good thing for a teacher to admit attraction to a student. I was a very young student teacher, so my college wouldn't let me student teach above 8th grade for fear of the students being in my dateable range. As a teacher now, I've had great intellectual connections with some students, but never any physical attraction. I recognize them as young adults, but still emotionally children. I have had two students have crushes on me. I am friends with one's mom, so he sees a lot of me and I have helped him through some rough times in his growing up. The other goes to my church and is a member of a drama team I direct so he, too, sees quite a bit of me. Both boys a gifted intellectually and social outcasts. Their crushes on me are simply because they've found someone who accepts them as they are and can talk to them on their level. It's natural for students to have crushes on teachers who make a difference in their lives. What's not natural is for adult teachers to take advantage of the vulnerability of these kids and act upon it in a physical way. Don't tell me the kids wanted it, you sick fiends. They're teenagers. Their hormones are raging. Help them direct themselves in a positive manner towards individuals of their own peer group. That's your job. Do it right.

Answer 5

Someone once told me that just because the birds fly over your head does not mean that that you have to let them make a nest in your hair. Of course, all people experience temptations but we do not have to yield to them.

Besides, some of what goes on could be a power differential. See if the people would "care about each other" when one is not "the student" and the other is not "the teacher." Like after graduation.

I guess I agree a lot with the first two answerer's. It's a good a question.

Answer 6

I would guess most, depending upon their preferences, but it shouldn't be a major obsession. In almost 30 years of teaching, I've only once had a major crush on a student (I never acted on it in any way). I was a new professor at the time, and he was only two years younger than I was.

Answer 7

It happens all the time. People feel attracted to others but often don't act on it for various reasons. Being attracted to one of your students is a very good thing to keep to yourself and most teachers realize this.
