should a student act on a crush she has on a professor ?

I had a crush on a professor once. Even though I never acted upon it. It's been almost 8 years, we're both married now, and correspond by e-mail. To tell you the truth we both wonder what could have been. BUT there is only a 6 year age difference (my husband is 5 years older than me)

It's ok to think that...but why do you feel the need to tell the professor that??  If you think she wouldn't find it funny, don't share that thought with her!

I would say, don't make the first move.  You could friendly flirt and see where things go, but don't make this hugely bold move that could cost him his job.  On a professional level,  you do still have to take his career into consideration.  Furthermore, what if things go on between you two and you end up with a crappy grade anyway...that'd make things a wee bit odd between the two of you.  good luck with this one!

No. It's only bad to have a crush on pedophile teachers.

I really have no idea what a "m.u." is, but having a crush on someone doesn't mean that you should just pick up and leave everything to be with them.  Why not just take the time to meet, get to know eachother a little better, and then, if you two really feel that you want to be together, the other person might just change their mind about what is really their priority?

Yes, because if you have a crush on this person, saying it as a "friend" is not being truthful to yourself, or them.

if the student is underaged, then no. but if they're both adults & have an attraction or feelings for each other, then why not?

Your professor seemed very much loved and very influential. I would hope that your college would do something to remember her. But if they don't maybe you can suggest it or organize a memorial for your prof.

Is that an hour per day?  Well if thats the case, you need to spend more time with this person.  I think it's pretty safe to assume you are still in school, so ask him/her if he/she wants to do something with you after school.  Let him/her get to know you better, and if they still dont like you, well there isnt anything you can do.

be attentive in class and offer to help her out

I would probably trust him. Professors tend to be pretty harmless, even the more adventurous types. I would keep and eye on him and bash his head in if it is really necessary.

I am an actual professor, and unless the student has a history of slacking and then trying to suck up, I don't assume that their intent is bad.  Anything specific you can say would help ("I never thought I would find Victorian literature interesting, but your lecture on Joseph Conrad's work made me so curious that I bought Heart of Darkness to read over vacation.")  That shows that you actually listened to what she said in class.  Most people get far too little thanks for the work that they do, and I'm sure that your professor will appreciate anything you might say.

Act interested! In the topic that is! Seek time with them during their office hours and ask them for additional readings. READ them and discuss them with the professor. They love students that are interested and can express an opinion, even if it differs from their own.

It's okay to be attracted to your teacher, just as long as there is no actual interaction.

Well the good thing about School is you can alway start a converstation about what ever class you are taking. Like "Oh do you have the biology notes from last week?" She won't fall in love from that but at least now you have spoken to her. Then build on that ask her how she likes the classes, if she is good in it ask her if she can help you out and if she is bad in it offer to help her out. Some where in there you should be getting to know her better and taking notice if she is responding to you at all as more than a classmate.

I am a teacher, I have taught in a regular education classroom as well as special need classroom.  I don't think teachers intentionally have favorite students.  I do tell my students that if they say "yes" to me, I will in turn say "yes" to them.\nFor example, if i have student who works in class and finishes the work, makes corrections as necessary, that child will get more priviledges (free time, computer time, library time, treats, etc) than the student who is not working in class.\n\nYou are not going to want to read this, but maybe you should not just blame the teacher for having favorites, but look at the bigger picture.  Are there things that one student is doing (so called favorite?) that the other is not?\n\nI asked my students one day to write down the name of my favorite student and give me three reasons why they felt that way.  (Ok, now I am bragging)  Most of the students wrote down their own name!!  Nope, no favorites here, I love them all, and somehow they realize it.  The students that wrote someone else's name gave the reasons that they had more priviledges. Generally it was the students who had recently got in trouble in class.  Go figure.

So you're a student who wants to care for another student?  There's not enough explanation in your question.  If you wish to assist the fellow pupil with homework, then study together.  If you want to help the pupil cheat on a test, I strongly advise against that.  If you're romantically interested in another student, then you'll need to take that matter slow & figure out if this person is interested in you.
