When I was 17, my English teacher and I were strongly attracted to one another, she was 24, and we talked of it often, but never stepped beyond the bounds of absolute propriety. She was an excellent teacher, but left for another school at the end of the academic year. Just live with it. It won't hurt you and you'll out grow it.
Hey, Hey, Hey! C'mon now, love is a very strong word, don't you think? Its common to have a crush on your teacher and is easily mistaken for love but don't react to it.
I think it's something to do with her position as a teacher, chances are you wouldn't like her if you met her outside school, and after all she is only human. There is probably an element of secrecy that you enjoy as well, knowing that you like her but knowing that its wrong and you cant have her.
There's a sense of authority she has over you "your the student and she is the teacher" that plays a part as well, and she's probably good looking which is why you don't mind her. I wouldn't worry about it too much, just try to think of her as a human, outside of school, and you wont feel as attracted to her.
Don't worry, Its not strange what your experiencing, its part of growing up! I have experienced a teacher crush plenty of times (some of the female teachers at my school are Smokin' Hot!)
Try dating a girl your age, it might take your mind off this teacher of yours but it won't be easy. I stayed off girls my own age while experiencing crushes because it can be hard to show your full attention to her and if she finds out you think a teacher is hot, it's like world war 2 all over again.
