Educational Goodbyes

I'm pretty sure that no one knows about this blog, so no one reads it, but I'll throw a question out anyways.

How do teachers feel at the end of the year? What do the expect from the students? Are the nostalgic, are the bothered by kids that are?

Let me just say, I love my teachers. It's sad, I want them to love me, and I work so that they'll love having me in class, and years later when I'll come back, they'll remember me and be genuinely happy to see me again. I want my teachers to feel proud and accomplished and I want them to know that I am always learning from them. So do I tell them this at the end of the year? I mean, for all I know, they don't care, they want to get home, they're so used to seeing students come and go that it doesn't even matter to them that it's their last day of having a certain student in class. Forever.

For the record, I am a brown-noser. It's not my preferred label, but close friends have assured me that I am. This being said, I feel like at the end of the year I should write some extremely sappy note saying how much I enjoyed class, and how I've grown not only as a student, but also as a person while in a certain teacher's class. I never do though. Maybe when I graduate.

BTW, the countdown for graduation has already begun!
