Love for Teachers-Dream Away!

Falling in Love with Pretty Teachers

Yes, called it puppy love,kitty love, infatuation or crush--students at childhood and adolescence stages do fall in love with their teachers.

Why do they do so?

Some say it is natural to go through such a phase.

I guess it is the elusive love feelings that they have for their teachers;possibly that of a mother or an aunt. It is adoring and worshipful though shallow.

I remembered in my primary school and even in lower secondary school, there were students who fell in love with their lady teachers. They practically worship their hairstyle, their dressing, their foot-wear and the way they talk and gesticulate.

When a favourite lady  teacher get transferred, you can immediately feel the all-round sadness of those boys who are ever dreamy;often romanticizing a relationship with these teachers.

But these lovey-dovey  feelings will always go away as the students grow up and out of these crushes.

For some of my friends at Jasin English School in the early 60s, there will always be that lovable, classy Amy Tan, than whimsical Cik Saadiah and the majestic, tall and coiffered Cik Halimaton.

For them, these ladies were stars! Out from the world of fairy tales!

Totally irreplaceable!
