You do whatever you feel you need to do. The student who is getting the special attention and doesn’t enjoy it should definitely speak up, as she is experiencing it first hand.

My Latin teacher gives lots of special attention to this one girl in my class, and everyone thinks it’s weird and creepy, even her. Should I talk to him about this?

Hi, before I start can I just say that I love your blog! I was just wondering if you’ve ever had a really close bond with a student to the point that when they’ve graduated you actually miss them a lot? I left school about 3 months ago and I was ridiculously close to one of my teachers and I miss her like I’d miss a friend and I was wondering if teachers felt the same back?
I can’t say I’ve experienced what you’re saying. That is not to say that I don’t miss students when they leave. It would be different for each individual teacher and then student they have worked with.
I also haven’t had the opportunity yet to work in a school for more than a year, so I am used to leaving every student at the end of a semester or year. I have become used to the feeling, I suppose.

I want to be a high school English teacher after high school and finishing college. I’m a 10th grader at the moment and I was wondering what are some extracurricular activities I could do that colleges would like, or what things to ask my English teachers about how they landed their jobs and the such. thanks and love the blog!
I think as long as you’re involved in extra-curriculars, colleges and universities will like how you are well-rounded. For teaching, something in a leadership role might be useful for your own experiences.
As for asking questions to your teachers, you can ask them just what you wrote here. Have a regular conversation with them, and ask about what steps need to be in education taken to become a teacher, etc. Be confident! They should be happy to help.

I spent all day worrying about what I’ll think of my teachers this year and I thought to myself the teachers at my school must be thinking the same thing but of their students. Do you ever stress about what your students will be like or anything like that?
Always! I have yet to meet a teacher (one who is truly in it for the right reasons) who doesn’t have trouble sleeping the night before the first day of school or have bad dreams. Even right before each new class comes in the door, it’s nerve-wracking. Everyone worries about something new and change, so we just have to meet it when it comes.

Hello! I noticed you teach history and English, which are my two favourite subjects and the ones that I would want to teach. I was wondering what you majored/minored in in order to become a teacher? (As in, did you study those subjects or education?) I know you have to go to teacher’s college as well. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m not really sure how to go about becoming a teacher if I do decide to be one. Thank you and I love your blog!
It always depends on where you are from and where you want to go. You will have to do some research on your area and what the requirements are.
I majored in English, minored in History, and then went to Teachers College.

Good luck!
