Sometimes it is difficult for students to figure out when one of their favorite teachers is leaving. It makes students confused, upset, and frustrated. They will get confused about what comes next, especially who your next teacher is and what changes will be made. At Chelsea High School, Ms. Maines taught Forensic Science, Psychology, and AP World History. A lot of people love her and really look up to her and take after her. She knows how to help students get through their work and make sure they were okay or needed help.
“A lot of students really looked up to Mrs. Maines and cared about her, so they’re sad to see her go,” senior Amber Push said. “But we all understand that she had health problems and she needed to prioritize herself.”
When students are upset, they always want to think about the happy moments. Mrs. Maines has made so many relationships with students, such as having her as a favorite, and the memories students have made with her. It also can hurt teachers if they have had a good friendship with that teacher.
“I definitely enjoyed psychology with her because I am not really a history person, but it was definitely really fun, Mrs. Maines really helps you understand the concepts and stuff of what you’re learning and explains enough to understand unlike some teachers.” said Push.
Students will always have a reason why that teacher is their favorite. Did they either teach the student a favorite class, did they get along well, or did they already know each other?
“In Mrs. Maines class a bunch of students in Key Club all made blankets for people in need. So that was really cool. That’s just something she does to make people feel good.” said Push.
You are always going to have something you are going to miss about that person, either their personality, how they act, or their goofiness.
“She would always let my friends and I eat in her class for lunch, and we would just talk about things going on and sometimes she’d give us advice on things and she was just really sweet and I am going to miss it.” said Push.
