This is about my female teacher and I'm a female too.
sometimes i have caught her looking at me.Sometimes when we look at each other, either she looks away quickly or I have to break eye contact.
When she is teaching, 90% of the time she is looking at me.
When she makes a joke, or makes fun of a student in our class (when I say makes fun of someone, I don't mean that she's mean to the student.) she always looks at me after and smiles. 
One time our class had to bring something for a shared lunch, and most of the boys forgot to bring something, so the teacher said to them that they had to sing a song, so the boys asked what song, and then the teacher said "girls just wanna have fun" then straight away she looked at me...
I brought cupcakes (I know, cupcakes are for younger people, not people in highschool, but it's the only thing I could bring lol) and the teacher had one, then I saw her take a bit of icing off of her cupcake and lick it off of her finger while looking at me then she smiled...like trying to be sexy?
Sometimes when the bell goes, she stands by the door and when I walk past, our bodies touch. There is plenty of room for her to move but she just stands there and obviously doesn't mind our bodies touching? (I'm too shy to say excuse me...)
One time she stopped talking to someone just to say bye, have a nice weekend to me.
When we were in the school library once, she sat next to me. Out of all of the free tables and chairs she sat next to me.
One time when this boy sat next to me, half way though the lesson she comes over to our table sits down next to the boy, and asks the boy why he's sitting next to me.
I don't know I'm just confused, what do you think? What's your opinion?
And I understand the never have a relationship with a teacher thing. (link)
Teachers and students spend a fair bit of time 'together'. And teachers are of course human. It's quite possible for a teacher to strongly 'identify' with a younger person, of like or opposite sex. They're professionals, and have the dealing with great numbers of students. So they are not usually naive or easily phased. It's easy for a teacher and pupil to strike-up what you call a 'rapport', meaning there's a harmony or 'agreement' between them that just springs up. A teacher of classics say, might tend to find such a rapport with a student who is keener, more interested than common (or they need to be) in their subject. An art teacher must feel an attachmnet of sorts to someone they spot with a potentially great talent or ability I should think. Or maybe, there's just something in a particular pupil that makes them feel good about being a teacher and role model in general, one or two who make them feel it's a really worthwhile profession. (When a lot of pupils must make them despair!!). Maybe she simply sees something in you that reminds her strongly of her own school career? And wants to be the 'mentor' she wanted, or possibly even had herself? That's a million miles away from them wanting a 'relationship' (physical, or outside of class time at all). Sounds like you've got a good 'rapport' with your teacher. Which can be a very good thing, especially if 'her subject' is one that interests you greatly. Beneficial to both of you. But don't dwell on the idea of a relationship, and NO school gossip with your mates. You're sharing your thoughts with adults here, and you've been honest about your observations and what actually happens, which is not how things could end up if you share them with friends your own age. I know at school age it can be hard to identify & separate different feelings. You don't have to think your teachers are 'all jerks, all out to give me a hard time'. And a teacher who to appears to like you a bit more than usual is not necessarily eyeing you up as a partner. Keep up a mutual liking and respect for each other, share a few laughs with her when it happens, but don't read anything into the situation, or act in any way that's inappropriate. That's my opinion, since opinions you wanted. Just have fun...like the song says, eh? ps...I'm a guy. I ADORED (and fancied!) my (female) English Lit. teacher. And we enjoyed many a verbal joust and joke and many a 'private' exchange of glances. Nothing came of it, and nothing ever WAS going to come of it. Except that I did exceptionally well at English! Can still quote great chunks of Thomas Hardy and D H Lawrenece come to think of it....
