if you want to type more than one word, use getline, if you want it to stop looping for ever, try cin.clear() and cin.ignore() after cin >> note, I forget the correct order, but clear probably goes first.

where would i put getline? and whats the syntax of it

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int grades();
int calculator();
void notes();
std::string note = "";

int main()
{
    int menu = 0;

	while (menu == 1||menu == 2||menu == 3||menu == 0)
	{
		std::cout << "Welcome to TeacherHelp" << std::endl;
		std::cout << "This Program will do many things to help teachers." << std::endl;
		std::cout << "Write the number of your choice." << std::endl;
		std::cout << "[1]Calculator" << std::endl;
		std::cout << "[2]Average Grades" << std::endl;
		std::cout << "[3]Note" << std::endl;
		std::cout << note << std::endl;
		std::cin >> menu;
		std::cin.ignore();
        switch(menu)
        {
        case 1:
            int calculator();
            break;
        case 2:
            int grades();
            break;
        case 3:
            notes();
            break;
        }
    }
	return 0;
}

void notes()
{
	std::cout << "Create a note" << std::endl;
	std::getline(std::cin, note);
}


sorry about the indentation, copy and pasting doesn't seem to work well.
