Did You Have a Crush on Your Teacher?

I can still remember my guitar teacher; dark brown, wavy hair, the smell of his clothes from that fragrant tobacco of his pipe, and an accent from Spain that fascinated me!! I was 9 years old and still remember him. I loved to go to my guitar classes and was a very good student too. I guess I wasn’t alone...

Psychologists say that an innocent crush on a teacher can help a child perform better in school since he or she “clings” to every single word the teacher says, and try to do his or her best to impress the educator. Kids are also known to go to after school learning activities where the teacher will be participating. Eventually, these school activities may boost the child's learning process.

Although we hear stories about inappropriate student-teacher relationships, generally this kind of “crush” is positive and related to the child's need to look for a role model. Of course, if you notice your son or daughter not talking about the teacher any more or behaving timidly or unusual, this could be a warning of wrong doing. Always keep an eye out for it!
