Do you ever “ship” students together? Do you know any teachers that do? One of my teachers always tells us stories about his past students that he thought would make good couples that ended up dating later on. I’m pretty sure that he ships me with one of my good friends, and it seems really weird to me. I feel kind of bad because he is really nice and probably has good intentions, but the whole situations just seems…weird. Is it just me, or is this normal for teachers? What should I do?

Tell your teacher you feel uncomfortable with it and wish to not hear those type of stories.

This is not normal. It’s gross. Teachers should not be that interested in students’ lives.
