You must not be watching what I am watching. Her behavior comes across as both loving, but overly attached. It isn't insane to think her behavior is inappropriate at times. I certainly don't know anything, but if I was her supervisor and I witnessed her interactions with the players as portrayed on the show it would cause concern to me.

We're watching the same show. You really don't understand her position within that particular institution. It is her ONLY job to get those players in the right classes and to pass the right classes to get them out of there. To do that she has to baby them like they were her own children, and that's how she views them.

It's not uncommon for teachers and supervisors to become very close with their students. I was really close with my high school math teacher because it was my weakest subject and I needed more one on one time. Same thing here. She spends so much time with all of them making sure that they get through and graduated that it's hard not to get emotionally attached.
