"Teachers who are '''Favourers' fancy certain students to the exclusion of the others. Often it's the bright kids, the high-achievers and self-motivators, who shine in the class and are chosen as 'pets.'" Grading the Teacher (Penguin Books Canada) by Nellie Jacobs

I always thought the kid with glasses sitting at the front of the class was treated more favourably than those sitting at the back and seemingly causing trouble... I wonder who I was in this scenario?
What a great idea this blog is....
Hi,
I think favouritism may be natural but it's never a good thing whether the teacher favours the high achievers, the well behaved or the under-dogs. Teachers need to try to see the beauty in each child.
Thanks for creating this blog!
