receieved a thank you note from one of my former teachers a short time ago, but with all the things you hear on the media about student/teacher relationships I'm wondering if this signals favortism or just plain affection. (the teacher is a female and I am female also)."......I am still humbled by all you did! You know that you will always hold a very special place in my heart! I continue to pray for you as you grow and mature! Know I am always here for you!...""...I appreciate you thinking of me in such a nice way. You are a special young lady who I know has a bright future ahead! You have been a pleasure to teach! I NEVER had to worry about you doing what you were supposed to do. :) Thank you for making my job so easy. I'll see you soon!...""...You are such a precious young lady and a blessing to teach. You are always willing to help and always do so with a cheerful attitude."Sorry I'm asking this again, on my other question I didn't complete everything first.They are all different notes, she's 38 and I'm 13. I gave her an end of the year present. I see her at church often. Does that answer all of your questions lol??

Nothing wrong with some appreciation. She just likes you as a person, maybe you remind her of herself when she was young!

Wow....your teacher is mushy and over-writes. If I were you, I'd stay away from that teacher as much as possible. Creeeepyyyyy!

hmmm, its slightly borderline. it just sounds like she really liked you (as a student) though. I would think anything of it really.

Seems she is truly thanking you for being a good student. Take things at face value and trust that it is a true heart felt thank you note until she gives you a reason not to. Too often now days people are looking for the worse before they see the best.

It sounds like your teacher genuinely cares for you. It doesn't sound like anything inappropriate to me. I have really great memories of outstanding teachers, and I truly did love some of them!

for crying out loud, stop flippin out. ur teacher is thanking for helping out and being a good child for her to teach. she knows that you will go far in life if u continue to do what you are doing.

no i think thats totally fine. i've gotten thank you notes from my teachers in the past. they just want you to know what you do is appreciated and helpful. plus writing a thank you note is a kind thing to do. sometimes you're supposed to give one like if you give someone something they usually give thank you notes back. so i wouldnt worry about anything. it sounds like your teacher is just a very nice, kind and caring woman. so yeai hope this helps :)

I think it is just a note from your teacher expressing how nice it was to teach you since you didn't cause her any problems. I don't think she is trying to get in your pants or show you favoritism in any way. You shouldn't worry too much about it.

I wouldn't call it favoritism as such.She obviously thinks alot of you and is very impressed by the effort you have put in during your time with her.I think it would be best to keep it to yourself and your parents though, don't go flashing it around your classmates otherwise they may become a little jealous.:]

This just sounds like a grateful teacher who had has a student that she doesn't need to worry about. i don't think she has over stepped her bounds or is really even playing favourites she just wants to show her appreciation for your good behaviour!

I have had this happen to me in second grade. If you did your best in class then teachers appreciate that. So I would say she just liked you more as a friend than a student. Which I would say it's favoritism.

There's really no way to tell... you could simply be a very good student and he was happy to teach you... or there could be a deeper meaning to what he's saying here. All you can really do is keep your guard up and be cautious... without seeming to be too paranoid, if that's possible. Good luck

It sounds like she is beeing sincere and really enjoyed having you in her class, maybe she wrote thank you notes to all of her students or ones that just touched her in a special way, if you made her feel as though she was truely doing some good in her work maybe she just wanted to show you that. I wouldnt take it the wrong way, unless something more is done such as several letters or anything like that without you provoking them. There are still some good people in this world.

Those notes don't make it sound like she wants you or anything.. So just be happy she if your friend and likes you as a good student... Don't worry about it, just go with it... It will help you and you can't lose your job or anything... Complaining about this to anyone could only get a teach that likes and respects you in trouble I wouldn't sweat it and she won't be your teacher forever anyway... how much longer will she be teaching you 1 more whole semester?????

It sounds sincere though not very well written (way too repetitive and way too many exclamation marks!). I wouldn't try to give it any more meaning.

She may have a thing or two for. Another thing is she may just be looking out for you.

Teachers are very much unappreciated. They receive crappy pay and constant disrespect from students, co-workers and even parents of the community for what they do. In the instance that a teacher seems to connect with a student, or that student has impressed them so much after years of dealing with unappreciated kids, that teacher may wish to express their gratitude at your helping them make their work day a little less odious. There's nothing wrong with a teacher writing a thank you note. Unfortunately, there are incidents where a teacher tries to take advantage of a student - do you realize how rare this actually is? It's like plane crashes: compare it to how many flights there are all around the world to the amount that actually crash, they're so rare that when they do occur it's smeared all over the media. You shouldn't have cause to concern if your teacher gives you a thank you card (even if you think your action that warranted it isn't worthy of that much praise). To them it is, because it's rare to have extraordinary students. You should only get suspicious if she herself starts making you extremely uncomfortable and nervous (i.e. asking you to stay after class all the time, giving you gifts, touching you in any way, inviting you to her home after school... showing up outside your bedroom window).

I think she s just proud of you, unless she makes an inappropriate gesture i dont think you have anything you worry about.

i don't think there is any problem with that. just in case, when u do a report of assignment, see what you deserve and compare it to what she gave you. if she goes to your church it seems u know her well then that's ok. don't worry about it.

I think it's okay. In 6th grade, my science teacher called my mom twice and talked to her for like an hour about how great and smart I was.

I'm a little bit confused ... what about "...I appreciate you thinking of me in such a nice way" and "I NEVER had to worry about you doing what you were supposed to do" ...? But ... are all these appreciations included in a note or in three notes? If there is only a thank you note I think it's too repetitive and it seems to me too exaggerated, even you were a very special student. If there are many ... I think they sounds to me too insistently ... for a simple relation "lady 38 years old" teacher - "a precious young lady 13 years old" student .Anyway, your teacher could be only a very nice person, but you have to be carefully.
