<p>If so, what kind of students do they tend to favor?</p>
<p>My teachers like the students who get good grades and talk to them a lot and ask questions. And if they open they’re class before school the kids who come to their class before school are usually their favorites. I get good grades but I don’t talk very much…must be why they dislike me.</p>
<p>They favor students that are </p>
<p>A.) In the sport/club they coach or
B.) Students that chill before/after school and during lunch in their rooms.</p>
<p>I’m a pretty quiet guy myself, but I don’t think my teachers dislike me(if they do dislike me) because of it.</p>
<p>
They like people who show interest in the material. There are ways to do this other than asking questions in class, but asking questions is one of the more obvious ways and unfortunately it tends to be easier for outgoing people. </p>
<p>Me. 
Haha, my 8th grade LA teacher adored me. I would be late for Algebra because I would stay in his classroom, talking about books, traveling, anything and everything. He regularly told the class they should be more like me. I have no idea how this occurred because I sat quietly and read books, avoiding his (very attractive) eyes for the majority of the year. Suddenly, we became besties.</p>
<p>In high school, teachers haven’t displayed any particular fondness for me. It’s actually quite sad.</p>
<p>Yeah. In my school, the teachers tend to prefer the really annoying students whom they have to constantly tell to shut up. But I find that most of my teachers this year have shown no favorites, seeing as most of them are young and new, and they have no exactly warmed to everyone and gotten used to them. Last year, my old APUSH teacher (who was young) adored this suck up who tried to create a sob story about everything. She was being ridiculous and egotistical, so I crushed her in this end of year debate and my teacher became quite upset. I am not his favorite…</p>
<p>I think my teachers like cute students.</p>
<p>10/10 times it’s the small Asian girls. </p>
<p>Yep! NOT to to me though!

<p>I hate favoritism with a burning passion. It makes you feel like you’re doing something wrong or like you’re not “good enough” to their standards. And don’t even get me STARTED on teachers’ pets. UGH!</p>
<p>ps. @LordBendtner: Gonna have to disagree with you on that… I’m small, I’m Asian, but I’m definitely not “favorited” ^#(^ </p>
<p>You’re doing something wrong then. </p>
<p>One of my teachers favourites the loud annoying kid while another favourites the smartest kids who pass tests always…</p>
<p>Some of my teachers favor the quiet studious kids, but some favor the smart but loud (and sometimes disruptive) kids.</p>
<p>But some teachers favor different types of students in different ways. Like the teacher will always be nice to the quiet kids, for example let them go to the bathroom, give them more hints when they’re stuck on something, always smile at them. But then for the loud kids, they are sort of “friends,” they’ll have conversations and so on. Oh and if you’re in a specific extracurricular that the teacher is heavily involved in, they will usually really like them.</p>
<p>@LosingCrayon This is often how it works in the more advanced classes where there are less/none of the completely disruptive slacker types. You are often either quiet but smart or talkative but smart. The more easy-going teachers, or those that try to communicate with their students, exhibit the kind of pattern you listed. </p>
<p>@LordBendtner Nah, I think you’re just being ignorant for stereotyping a certain group of people. Does being a small Asian girl make me a “bad driver” too? I don’t want to pick a fight with you; I just don’t believe that being myself is “doing something wrong.”</p>
<p>they favorite the females with the shorts.</p>
<p>I reread my first post and realized how bad my grammar was. Sorry about that.</p>

<p>@bvo112 Who doesn’t</p>
<p>I believe that most of my teachers prefer students that are studious yet shy. I’m like that a lot of the time. When I’m talking to teachers I find that I get quieter and the pitch of my voice higher. Especially when it’s about a stressful situation or a personal concern/issue. I think it’s obvious that I have the tendency to worry and stress over a lot, but at the same time I do well. I’m also really involved and easily excitable in class. I make comparisons to other subjects, and also get really loud during debates. Teachers generally like participation. It’s hard to like a student that you don’t hear often enough to know. </p>
<p>Honestly, I think once you know a teacher, it’s easier to act according to what they like to see in a student, and what’s acceptable for them. This isn’t to sound manipulative or fake. People generally act differently around different people, because different parts of you are being drawn by them. For instance with my honors biology teacher in ninth grade, I could put sarcastic, mock-egotistical comments in my answers and read them aloud in class and it was great. However, I wouldn’t think about doing something like that with my English teacher. </p>
