A small something.


Question Posted Friday June 11 2010, 10:18 am


I'm in love with my physics teacher. No it's not a crush, I love him.
Of course he doesn't know, and I don't plan to tell him. I don't see him appreciating that kind of advance from me.
In any case my school doesn't approve of student-teacher relationships and I think he happens to like his job and wants to keep his employment intact. Lol.

Anyway, the school year is about to end and since I can't 'proclaim my undying love', I want to slip him a little something.

The thing is, I'm completley clueless in this department.
I'm trying to think like a man, but nothing's flashing.

I want to make something with my own hands. So it has to be homemakeable (If thats even a word)

So please, All ideas are appreciated.

Thank you so very much!! ^_^

I'm not going to answer this from a guy's point of view. I'm going to answer this from a teacher's point of view. And by that, I mean I'll ask my girlfriend, since she's got a teaching certificate and I clearly don't.

First and foremost, do not tell your teacher you love him, in any way, shape or form. Granted, in most cases it is best to show your feelings, but on a professional or scholarly level it's better left unsaid. Not only will this create an awkwardness between you if you meet in the future, but you'll force him to question his position. He'll wonder about his teaching methods, his personal relationships with his students, and you'll make him paranoid that you're not the only one who feels this way about him. People have resigned over this exact sort of thing. If you really do love him, you'll keep quiet as you won't want to put such stress on him.

Secondly, the coolest gift my girlfriend ever got from her students was a simple card made out of a sheet of paper. The student drew herself on it waving goodbye and had a nice long note saying how good a teacher my girlfriend would be and she knows that future students will love her as much as this bunch did. She got this while student teaching, so it was a huge boost of confidence for her. It's still on our frige today. Note that this was given to her by a high school senior, not a kid. It meant even more because of that.
