August 11, 2013 4:31 pm at 4:31 pm #970932the-art-of-moiParticipantwhen they saw something was bothering me, theyd ask if i was ok. and they wouldnt be like- you dont have to say anything if you dont want to, but how is your life? is your fmily doing ok? when they say that, first of all, they are forcing me to spill my life story, second, they give the impression that they dont want to hear what youre going through, they just want your parents to tip them well.

August 12, 2013 6:56 pm at 6:56 pm #970936jewishfeminist02MemberGreat role models.

August 13, 2013 6:22 am at 6:22 am #970939This name is already takenParticipantI had a rebbe in elementary school that I never saw get angry. (When he had to he would put on a really good act) and then was completely calm immediately afterwards.) this was just one of his great qualities. He incidently was the only rebbe I remember slapping me (out of love, which I was able to recognize).

August 13, 2013 7:44 pm at 7:44 pm #970941This name is already takenParticipantStan- there is nothing wrong with a nice teacher who can keep control and teach well, doesn’t mean they should be your friend but its fine to be nice
August 13, 2013 9:50 pm at 9:50 pm #970942jewishfeminist02MemberMy favorite teacher from high school is my friend now. She wasn’t at the time, but we stayed in touch after I graduated and she told me that since I wasn’t her student anymore, I could call her by her first name. We are very close now.
August 13, 2013 10:01 pm at 10:01 pm #970943eclipseMemberstanleyc…which communist country did you grow up in?
To not even be traumatized you can’t possibly be American!

August 14, 2013 1:18 am at 1:18 am #970945popa_bar_abbaParticipantunconditional love
I don’t believe it. A teacher cannot have unconditional love for a student that they teach for a year or two.
August 14, 2013 3:23 pm at 3:23 pm #970946Torah613TorahParticipantI don’t believe it. A teacher cannot have unconditional love for a student that they teach for a year or two.
Can a parent have unconditional love for a child they raise for a year or two?
August 15, 2013 7:17 am at 7:17 am #970947WIYMemberPopa
There’s a mitzvah Doraysoh of Veahavta Lereiacha kamocha that obligates us to love a Jewish stranger we just met with unconditional love. So its possible to do it from the first instant you meet someone.
August 15, 2013 1:18 pm at 1:18 pm #970948popa_bar_abbaParticipantCan a parent have unconditional love for a child they raise for a year or two?
Yes, I do think so. It is a natural instinct, because they are part of you.
WIY: Oh.

August 16, 2013 4:19 pm at 4:19 pm #970950crisisoftheweekMemberMine favorite teacher just really loved children
and I mean “really loved them”
In fact, he was fired because of it

August 16, 2013 5:28 pm at 5:28 pm #970951Bookworm120ParticipantA fantastic sense of humor, respect of my religiosity, and genuine desire for me to grow as both a student and a person. They weren’t afraid to accept me as I was and use that as a baseline to mold me into my full potential instead of something that I wasn’t and hope to never be.
Hooray for awesome teachers!
