Do you know this type? The teachers's favourite? Those annoying eggheads students, who always serves as a good reference for the teacher comparing other students and saying sentences like: “Well done, very well done, X. At least there's someone who has read the book I recommended!” …or “You think it's too much? Well, then how could X make it?” and so on. They're the ones, who always do their homeworks, always read the required readings. They have no life at all, their best buddy at school is the teacher, whom they look up to as to a saint. They nod approvingly to every word the teacher says and can't even think of not to pay attention during class. Discussing the deficiencies of the lesson in front of them is the worst idea, and yes, they are the ones who get beaten up by their classmates after school.

The final, most serious phase of being “teacher's favourite” is, when they start to borrow books from the teacher. That is the irrevocable proof that they seceded from normal student community for good.

So even though most of these are not true for me, after being called a nerd and then realizing that I'm about to borrow a book from a teacher seemed kinda scary at first. But seriously, won't you be extremely excited to read the sentences written by noone else but Eric Gill himself?! (Am I being a typofreak again?…) Then again, there is a great difference between teacher and teacher, okay?…

Hungarian translation:
Tamás kölcsönad nekem egy könyvet, amit Eric Gill írt!
Jaj ne! Azt hiszem, ezzel elértem a stréberség egy következő szintjét.
Én lettem...  a „TANÁRKEDVENCE”!

  1. My "teacher's pets" go even a step further and carry my stuff to the classrooms for me! And last week a student wrote me a poem! :-)

  2. Aww!... So cute! :D I thought I've managed to write so exaggerated characterization that no real person can pass it, but it seems Chinese kids are even worse... (or better, matter of viewpoint) :D
