Were You A Teacher's Pet?

[Orange]

Were any 'Crappers the lil' teachers pet during their school days? I wasn't, I'd just call myself somebody who stayed out of trouble.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

My teacher's all liked me well enough. They were kind of mad because I was perfectly capable of doing much better than I did, but didn't give a shit.

In our province you've got to, or had to, write a provincial exam on top of your final exam in grades 3, 6, 9 and 12. In 12, we had some practice exams we were to take after school. I couldn't because of work. So I took mine the next day, it was supposed to take 2 hours, I banged it off in 30 minutes or so and far and away got the highest mark in class.

These provincial exams, along with the finals were like 50%+ of our final grade. I'd ace those tests and drag my whole grade up with it.

I should point out I could do this in English and Social Studies and somewhat in Science, but in math, I'd be lucky to get 50% at the end of the year, no matter what. To this day, the simplest math is far, far, far beyond me.

Teacher's pet? No

My teachers liked my sense of humor though so I got away with a lot. My P.E. teacher thought I was a pot head so I got away with a lot there.
Some kid yelled some mess at me and I flipped him the bird and heard a voice behind me say "Was the necesary?" and I said "Yep" turned around and it was a teacher. She was young and I thought she was a student at first until she told me to go to her class with her. We were walking to her class and I turned on the charm and we had a nice little conversation. When we got to her class for her to write me up some idiot did the "ooh" thing and once again I told him to shut the hell up (mention this in another thread) she wrote down that I was very polite to her and ignored my shut the hell up comment. The dean just told me not to get caught doing that again.
My sculpting teacher kicked me out of class because I was too busy messing around with the girls to do anything. She apologized for having to kick me out and made up and excuse that I didn't have the required classes to take sculpture. (I had her for other art classes and we got along well.)
My personaity most definatly let me get away with a lot.

[MAGGLE]

Every single teacher I have ever had hated me....every single one. And after growing up ...rightfully so, I was an ignorant douche.

I dropped the ignorant part now.

[bubbles]

When I was a little kid I pretty much was but got into trouble a few times when I was in senior school.

[Soultastic]

Some teachers liked me, but I hated them. Not only were these particular teachers annoying and mediocre, but thanks to the fact that they kept trying to put me in a pedestal simply because I did somewhat well, I got bullied even more. It's not like it takes a genius to realize that if you favor someone, those kids who are not favored will make his/her life impossible. Idiots. Teachers, students. All of them. F*** that school.

Sorry, needed to get that out of my chest (or wrists, or whatever).

[DiBiase is Good]

I was when I was about 6 or 7, however I was a nightmare for some teachers when I was about 15 because I was good at arguing. For example, I had a stand-up row with one of the deputy heads in an assembly hall with several other kids because I said I would not be doing Work Experience. I thought (and still think) that sending 16 year old kids out to do a 40 hour week at some place and not get paid for it is unfair. Luckily my Dad agreed, so he wrote the school a note saying I wouldn't be doing it.
After speaking to my friends who are now teachers, they say that is the worst type of kid. The ones who just f*** around every lesson are easy to handle with punishments, the smart kids are easy to teach but the one who can argue with them, especially if the student is in the right, are the worst.

Well, I went to a small school, small enough were all of my K-12 classes were in the same building. In addition, my mother taught at my school, meaning all of the teachers knew who I was before I stepped in the classroom, so I couldn't get away with shit. On top of that, they all knew I was a smart kid, so I couldn't slack off in classes either. I'm sure people probably did call me a teacher's pet because of those circumstances.


Needless to say, I'm glad I'm in college now.

[Ash Kingston]

Nah, I was never a teacher's pet as far as I know. My teachers seemed to flip rapidly between like and intense dislike of me, depending on what grade (and even class) I was in, but that's to be expected. I know one of my science teachers in high school thought I was awesome because I could blast through the stuff we had to do in them, but at the same time my English teacher hated me for being a slacker (which I honestly was, which says a lot about my Science class), and I hated her right back for being a female canine.

As a fellow... participant in the Provincial Exams in Alberta, I can safely say that they still had them as of... 4-5 years ago, and I still hate the freaking essays that they forced upon us in English and Social Studies. Seriously, I think essays were my one big weak point overall, and it had a great habit of showing when it was important...

[Allison Reynolds]

Yes, in fact I was. I was pretty much the walking stereotype back in School.
It didn't quite stay like that as I got older though, It was like slightly teachers pet, but not too extreme, as in Elementary school.

[Abadebe]

I was a pretty quiet, nerdish kid who was always at or near the top of the class. I suppose my teachers liked me because of that, but I was never a suckup.
Later on I grew out the quiet part and started being 5-10 minutes late for class every day. I doubt the teachers were too thrilled with me then.

[Deleted]

Of course I was.

I made more friends out of teachers than students.

[Legion]

I was for years. Then got to year 11 (I don't know what the US equivalent would be, but I was 16) and started getting sarcastic and talked back alot more.

Cos of the years of good, I got away with alot more bad than I should have.

[Shy Guy]

i have two older brothers.

oldest brother: pretty smart, never went to class. teachers saw this as him slacking off, therefore, hating him.

second oldest: smart, went to class. teachers liked him because he was opposite of older brother.

me? i was associated with the oldest because... i was. even though i went to class. rarely skipped. i was always his littler sister, not my other brothers little sister.

highschool was not fun.

[Free Hat]

During my last two years of HS I think I skipped more classes than I actually attended, so I doubt my teachers were too pleased with me. But at the same time my grades were excellent, so I got away with it.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

I was a pet to my English teacher, mainly because we had a lot in common that we liked to talk about. I got along with my biology teacher, but everyone liked him.

My geometry and music teachers were rough on me, though. Looking back, I think it's because I was one of the better students when I applied myself, and they wanted to prevent the usual daydreaming I got away with in my other classes.

Oddly enough, most of my friends were the teachers' nightmares. I was the nice guy that got along with the bad kids.

[waluigi]

In grammar school, yeah. Two reasons:

1. I really wasn't good at starting up nonsense like the other kids. I just didn't have it in me then. Thank God for bad influences later on.

2. I had a crush on my principal and the better I did the more I got to see her.

I think she knew my scam, she caught me looking at her breasts once and wasn't insulted, she actually laughed while I was tripping over my stupid ass self.

[Bo Rida]

I was always good for the first few weeks to win the teacher over and then got away with a lot for the rest of the year.
I always did my work like a good boy but still argued, got in fights and even got suspended once.

[default]

It differed a lot for me throughout. There were teachers that I really got along with or liked the subjects and teachers I straight up hated.

It all culminated senior year when a teacher I really liked (who made it known he was leaving the school soon to go elsewhere) let me know there was an interesting meeting in the teacher's lounge where my name was brought up. Apparently I was discussed for quite some time with some teachers saying I was a really great student who behaved very well, asked a lot of questions and grasped stuff quickly and others who absolutely hated me for not doing anything including homework and not to trust me.

I got a kick out of it because it was the complete truth. I had classes I loved and excelled in and classes I hated and would do completely douche-y stuff like break plastic rulers and throw them out the second story window, pocket stuff and just generally buck the teacher's authority at any given chance. Including an English teacher that constantly made fun of my weight (I've always been the skinniest dude around inch per pound pretty much) and one day I had enough and just said back "I'm sorry I'm the same height as you and weigh two hundred pounds less." To be honest, she probably didn't weigh quite that much.

I had another English teacher as well who I just didn't agree with in anything. She'd constantly bring up politics and religion with no reasoning and on quite a few occassions, I got up and walked out and sat outside which drove her insane to the point of yelling at me, talking crap about me to the class in earshot and would end with me heading to the office and her changing her tune. She also played favorites with the soccer team for some reason, letting them out of homework. One day my friends and I left school early to go early for Raw and I refused to do homework out of the soccer related things. It was hilarious, as I knew I had no real grounds to stand on other than the fact that she wasn't going to send me to the office over it and I could've cared less about getting in trouble personally over it.

Finally, I had a chemistry teacher that I threatened to have sent to anger management classes if she didn't leave me alone. (It's an hour trip roundway to go to those classes and at that point the principal was forced into attending them and made it known he was dragging any teacher along that got accused of it as well.)

[The Ichi]

I would get accused of being one simply because I followed orders and never really got in trouble, but I wouldn't say any of my teachers favoured me. I just wasn't a lil shit...
