The Teacher’s Pet
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
My friend’s 9-year-old son thinks he has become the teacher’s pet, and he’s not happy about it. She thinks it’s mostly his imagination and is not inclined to worry about it too much. Still, it got me to thinking about being a teacher and trying not to favor the unfailingly polite, charming, hard-working child.
Teachers, do you have to make an effort not to favor your favorite student? Parents, has your child felt like the teacher’s pet or felt like the student who wasn’t the teacher’s pet? Did you make an issue of it.
