I'm really sorry but this is going to be long but I really need someone to answer this because I am really worried about this now and each time I walk into his class my heart starts to beat a bit fast. Ok I know you are all going to think it just a silly crush I don't but please I need yours answers because I need to know and be aware of this because this is serious please don't say " look it's a crush get over it" but I think he does.

Let’s call (Mr. G). Well it all started in September I walked into the class late because I had to do something then I walked into class and Mr. G gave me a sheet and I said thank you and I was filling out the sheet and he said "you ok?" and I said yeah then he said OK and he walked away to check on other people and that was our first lesson of the year and the same day of that lesson he gave us some homework then next lesson I handed it in and it put in my book saying " excellent research and clear ideas" That was fine what he put in my book then we done a project about Eco towns and on the 12th we started are Eco town and we finished on the 26th and he took our books in to mark our work on the Eco towns and he put: well explained answers (my name) and your presentations skills are really good. And then he wrote my improvement so I can have more confidence in myself. Then he marked my Eco town and saying: Fantastic presentation (my name) you communicate some interesting ideas strongly - well done. Then we done an end of unit test and I was on a 4b then I find I was on a 5a so I moved from a 4b to a 5a then at the end of the term he took our books ( oh yeah when we were doing our eco town posters he came up to me and said do you want me to write your homework in but I said I done it and he OK but when he was not looking I quickly wrote it in) (because then I realized he making me a bit uncomfortable) but anyway he took our books in at the end of the lesson then we didn't see him for about 1 week because of the holiday.

Then we went back to school the next day I had the lesson I have with he gave our books to us and I looked at my comment I was expecting something like a 5c I was not expecting a 5a and he put (my name) I’m really impressed with this essay but he about 19 words which is about 3 lines saying how well I done and he kept going on about the way he really likes it then to put " to improve: then for that he on put 7 words so I can improve my work. But before the test we done this work and then also when I was looking thought my comments he put in my book and I don't think a teacher should put this in your book I’m not sure but he on one work he put: (my name) this is awesome! Lots of information which is communicated well and I Love the (I can’t read this word sorry) between the religion. Top work! Then he gave me 2 house points and I think that comment he put in my book was a bit creepy. Then we were doing project on animal testing and we were sent homework and he said Fantastic (my name)! An interesting and well communicated example. I like the detail and knowledge you row. Then another 2 house points (the house points of for your class room and my other teachers don't really give house points but he give me lots). Then we were like writing a letter to David Cameroon saying why is animal testing wrong or for example I disagree because... or I agree because... Then again he wrote 3 lines of how well I have done and how he really likes my work then he gave me one house points. Then he gave us a choice of writing a song about the how to spend our money or write a poem and I was really stuck I was writing a poem and he came over to me to help me and I think he was trying to make eye contact me I was never ever that uncomfortable in my whole entire life then I said I have got a poem (to get rid of him because he was making me uncomfortable) then it took 1 min to come up with something then on the second last lesson before I think he wasn't that bad he didn't do anything that day the but the next lesson the last lesson before we broke up for the holidays and we were doing a quiz then he was checking on my group and other groups and when he came to my group then he a had little talk with us to see how we were doing then he walked past my seat and that made me uncomfortable.

We came back from the Christmas holidays Now we are learning about Jesus and last lesson he took our books in and today I had my lesson with Mr. and when he gave our books to us I was really nerves on what he had put in my book but I had open my book and again there was one house point like every time he takes our books in he always gives me a house and it makes feel uncomfortable then again he me a house point but this time look like he stamped it twice then he Excellent commitment and I like the way you are backing up your points with evidence (my name) then one time me and my friends were sitting in a place near his class room is and he was walking alone the corer doors and me and my friends were looking I was looking up then he walked past me and my friends and he took one look at me then look forward and that made a bit uncomfortable.

I'm really sorry this was long but I wanted to tell the whole story so to make it easy for you to answer this question I want a answers saying get over its teen crush please just tell if it a crush or not if you think it please what to do and some advices like for example because he has not asked me yet to stay after class but also if it does come to him asking me to stay after class I want to be prepared for it and please me tips on that he not asked me to but if he does then want to ready for it. Thanks to all of those people who have read this carefully and taken their to this read and answer it and taken some time to think of what to answer down below that would really mean a lot to me and again I really very sorry this is very long questions.

I'm not trying to be mean but that was an absolute mess. You should learn to use punctuation and such... paragraphs and sentences would really help. It all blended together and made it very difficult to read and understand.

Anyway... what I was able to make of it all was that this is a teacher that is trying to encourage you and tell you when you're doing well. I see nothing in there that indicates to me that he has anything more for you than simply being a good teacher.

You, however... you obviously have something for him. How old are you? It's a crush that can't ever go anywhere. Get over it and move on.

Rosie, you are going to have to break this up. It is too involved and not exactly clear with a lot of unrelated information.

Be precise and get to the point, but for the record, this sort of issue is going no where for you, there is no way you can ever pursue your thoughts on this teacher. There is a whole load of heartache for you if you even think that this is happening. He is your teacher, your mentor, someone completely unattainable for you at your age.

First of all, as a teacher, this is some of the worst grammar I have ever seen! Sentences begin with capital letters and end with periods. Second, have you been taught how to use commas, and that the word "I" is always capitalized?
Now, for your "problem": You are taking this way too far. I often use comments like, "love that you are using your vocabulary words," "Love this essay," and words like awesome, fantastic, super, and wow! I am not in love with any of my students, but I care about them and their well-being. If I only gave a grade, my students wouldn't flourish.
If I were you, I would feel very lucky you weren't graded down for your spelling and grammar. Stop over-thinking this and just find friends your age to study with and enjoy school.

To be blunt, I couldn't read more than half of that. It just goes on and on with no sense of summary. To be more blunt, it sounds like you think you are getting more praise than you deserve, and that must mean he has a crush on you. No, it doesn't.
But what matters is that all this is flustering you, so I would talk to him. Ask him if his praise is meant to be encouragement, because it seems overboard. That's blunt too.

It does not matter if the teacher is in love with you and ready to leave his wife and kids for you. It is not correct, and should not happen,
You forget about it, and move on.

Next from what you wrote, no, he sounds like a good teacher and you are just wanting something that is not there.

You worry a lot about the crush you have on a teacher and if he will invite you for a study at his home. That would be inappropriate and should be told to your parents, but I doubt if he sees this the same as you do, and is trying to get you to be more accurate with your grammar, and spelling, and sentence structure.

You are hardly the first or only student to get a crush on a teacher, and fantasize about every word, phrase or attention they give you. Fantasy is normal, but don't get so carried away that it stops you from being a good student. If your post is an indication of your ability, then you better pay more attention to it.

Thanks for all of your comments I just want I notice some people can't read my writing well just to let you know I can but its because I was writing really quickly so I didn't notice that I'm sorry but also I don't have a crush on this teacher but I have notice some odd things about it and no I am NOT going to jump to conclusions if it does get worse then I will. I asked this question because in parts of me I feel he has a wired thing for me NOT LOVE but a bit odd thing. All I want is an answer simply telling if it is a crush or not. Not telling gosh she can't spell. Just making it clear. Again thanks for all of your comments.

By the way this teacher not married or has kids

We aren't hearing from him, so of course we don't know what is going on in his mind. It is a sign of immaturity to think you can tell us a long string of anecdotes and then we can draw definite conclusions (don't worry, plenty of much older people do it too). What we can conclude is that YOU can't conclude anything. You even are worrying about events that he has given not one indication of happening, such as seeing him alone.
IF there is something going on in his mind, then it might come out, it might not, because of course it would ruin his teaching career, just for starters. That's IF. He's innocent until proven guilty. Everyone here, on the face of his little remarks, can only see a teacher who believes in encouragement. Come back if that changes. I still think you should ask him straight out why he gives you such good grades.

Ok then, yes, I think you have a crush on him as you seem to spend too much time reading into what he's doing. No, I don't think he has a crush on you.

So why would you point this out.

No, I don't think he has a crush. I do feel he is a great teacher, from how you describe his encouragement.

What are you though that you feel singled out by him?Are you exceptional looking, do you wear revealing clothing, more so then your other classmates?

Just wondering because this certainly is not the first time we have read a post like yours.

You are asking grown ups who are parents, who have school age children. A teacher coming on to a child is a parents worse nightmare.

There is no crush period. You don't ruin a career over a child.

Have you seen what kind of marks he gives other students in the class? Perhaps he is an across the board high grader.

You haven't answered how old you are or what grade you are in. But you can get him in serious trouble if you pursue this in the slightest.

From the sounds of things, and from reading your post, and sadly, yes, your very poor writing skills do have something to do with my response, I think that this teacher is spending more time with you, and praising you, because you need it. You're a poor student, which is evident in how you write (see, I told you your writing skills would play a part in my opinion), and he's trying to encourage you to do better, because right now, you're not doing so well.

That's what teachers do. They spend more time, and effort, with the less "gifted" students in their class. The students that need more help. Encouraging them, praising them, is a way to get them more interested. It's all about positive reinforcement, it works. Praise someone for something small, and they want to do better, because they want more praise. For some reason you're taking his praise as a come on. I think the reason for this is because you yourself have a crush on him.

He's just being a teacher. You need to start being a better student.

I think the OP is a very needy young girl with no encouragement from any other source, i.e.. Family, friends. That is why encouragement from a person seen as a friend by pupils, a mentor, perhaps too overly friendly and gives the wrong impression, a young teacher.

I just hope this doesn't go any further and interrupt lives and professions.

I can spell you don't know me in real life so how do you know because I was typing quickly and I think I know more than do you

Thanks for all of your lovely comments I'm sorry but I don't think most of you don't understand the story which I don't blame you for because most are commenting saying he spending a lot of time with you because I can't spell "DUHH" hello you don't know me in real life and no I am not going to tell on him but only BUT if does get serious then I will end

Ok... very good then.

But to be honest, most of us probably don't get the story because A) it is very difficult to read with incorrect punctuation and B) there is not real story to get.


Really, from what you wrote, it doesn't sound like he is doing anything out of line... sounds like he is being a teacher and you are thinking into what he's supposedly doing way too much.

And you don't know Alty in real life so how can you think you know more than her.

You come here and ask for our help. That behooves you to type carefully and spell check so we can understand the problem to better help you. We have to judge based on what we see because that is all we know of you. So if we see a semi incoherent post that's how we are going to judge you. You need to understand that we are all volunteers trying to help members. So every response is meant to help you, being rude in response is not going to get further help.

I agree with Odinn. After just explaining to you that if you want help you need to compose your posts so they are understandable. Look at the above sentence and explain to use what you are trying to say. The fact is you WERE rude to Alty and without merit.

Maybe the story is not understood because of your insufficient writing skills.
There are rules for written English which were put in place to make the points in the document clearly understandable. You don't follow those rules.
There could be something to all the attention you have been getting but you haven't answered the question that allseaodo asked:
"Have you seen what kind of marks he gives other students in the class? Perhaps he is an across the board high grader."
I would add- have you seen what kinds of comments are written on the work of other students?

Rosie, we don't want multiple threads for the same thing so your threads have been merged. But looking at the post you made for the second thread, you are not listening to us. Type out your story using a word processor. Proof it for spelling and sentence structure. When you think it is readable, then paste in to a response to this thread.
