Do you think that teachers actually care about their students? Do they care about their personal feelings, if they are sad or troubled?

I'd like to think that they do...I was lucky enough to have some really great teachers throughout my education. There were some that I didn't always get on with too well, but in hindsight I do believe they had good intentions.

Having said all that, teachers are just humans after all...there are bound to be good ones, bad ones, ones that are really passionate about their job and care about their students, and ones that are less enthusiastic and involved.
