Do former professors miss students the way we miss them?

I had a really wonderful professor a few semesters ago that really changed my perspective about life. In private she taught us so many life lessons and I’m so grateful to have had her as my professor. I miss her. 

I’m just wondering if it is mutual.

Edit: did not expect this post to blow up, it’s been lovely to hear your thoughts and personal experiences. Thank you so much!

Depends on the professor.  But for those of us that got into it because we actually enjoy teaching, it is the interactions with students and seeing that look of Revelation on their face when they understand something that is why we do it.  Being online only has denied us for any meaningful dialogue, and the ability to connect with our students on some deeper level.
