Is it wrong to have crush on your teacher?

It is definitely normal to have crushes on teachers. Crushes are something that everyone experiences at some point of view and the human brain is actually biologically programmed to fall in love.
From the students’ point of view, a teacher is someone who listens to what they say, who engages them in conversation – and that kind of attention can be misinterpreted, leading to students developing crushes on their teachers. But the relationship between student and teacher is not possible. The age difference is a big difference. To hope that the crush will culminate in a long term togetherness is something inappropriate.

How can a teacher handle crush?

The important thing is, how the teacher in the position of responsibility deal with their students’ unrequited affection. I recollect one such teacher who would politely refuse any gifts or roses or chocolates offered by a student. Our teachers wouldn’t join any private celebrations at the student’s residence. There wouldn’t be any, one on one session to clarify any doubts. They had to occupy the staff room or in the presence of any other teacher. Even in present times teachers usually do not share their contact details with the students or any of their social media profiles.

Teachers are wonderful human beings
How a Smart talented Teacher/ Principal could bring a wonderful learning activity for his students.

Teachers are a great source of Motivation and Inspiration. I personally feel they do wonders. They very well understand the students crush for them. A loving and caring teacher motivates such a student to an extent where he/ she reaches the peak of excellence and the feeling of crush or affection transforms to a feeling of respect and owning responsibility to his/ her life. A Good teacher becomes a Great mentor.
