valentines day is a bit of a problem for young teachers who suddenly start getting a lot of attention and more from their students on this day the world might be divided between those who make valentines day plans weeks in advance and those who throw up at the mention of the day but apparently there are some young intellectuals who also live in fear as the loveydovey week approaches purportedly the younger teachers in schools and colleges invite a little too much love from the students unintentionally this manifests around the valentines week where they say they are torn between not hurting the kids feelings and maintaining an appropriate distance while the more casual hints can be ignored students tend to go a little to far sometimes it seemssuicide threats a teacher of mine was just threefour years older than us so i guess people were a little less scared of him during valentines week a senior of ours started messaging this teacher telling him how she had a thing for him the teacher tried to knock sense into her brain but she did not budge finally i think on propose day or something she told him that she was going to commit suicide and he was going to be the one to blame the poor teacher had to confide in the other teachers i can only imagine how embarrassing it mustve been says ridhi from ramjas collegehints and misses i think this is more common with girls because boys are anyway not big fans of valentines day and girls are supposed to only imply and not say such stuff conventionally so they keep dropping hints last year my friend made the entire group play truth and dare just so she could get a dare to go and tell this teacher that she liked him the best part was she went ahead and told him and the teacher took it to be a prank he just laughed it off says rajan of hindu collegerock and a hard place students say that theres not much the teachers can do to escape silly comments and questions on valentines day if a teacher takes sick leave around valentines week everybody is like zaroor sir ghoomne gaye honge agar woh aa jaate hain toh they have at least some roses and some chocolates coming their way the goodies i think can be smiled off but ladke toh phir aagepeeche hi ghoomte rehte hain and girls pout and sulk as if they expected the teacher to take them seriously and reciprocate says sanchita paul from ambedkar universitythey are excited some students say that rather than being scared or wary of the valentines week some teachers are secretly excited about it i think it makes them feel special its very obvious that they expect at least a couple of cards and roses they also dress up a little bit says aakshi a du graduate the teachers dont mind as long as its nothing creepy i
