Are you a teachers pet?
I don't think I am, I wouldn't label myself one at all but at the same time I get along with all of my lecturers. I'm class rep for my course so I work closely with them and they know I'm reliable and tbh they've helped me secure an amazing work opportunity for the summer but I still argue with them and stuff. There's a girl in my class who would almost polish their shoes she is ridiculous!
What about you?

I used to be when I was in school with some teachers haha. ;/////

In school, I definitely was to an extent. I wasn't pompous with it, just did everything I was told and in return I would benefit with extra tuition etc. In university, I'm definitely not. I suppose it should be the other way around, but hey ho.
-
Absolutely.
If the teacher likes you you're more likely to get away with not handing in homework etc which is good for me lmaooo

Not really. The teachers pet thing is a bit of a school kid term which seems like a bit of a silly thing to say for someone of my age. I get on really well with all my lecturers though, if thats what is meant by it.

I do what they tell me to most of the time but I won't necessarily do it on time. I'm so frustrated with my classes because literally no one except me and one other girl speaks so sometimes it feels like it's just the three of us (me, this girl and our teacher) having a conversation in the class. It makes me feel like a teachers pet because I ask questions all the time if I don't understand something, but now that I think about it it's just because I want to pass my classes so badly and I don't see why I should sit there in silence.
There are a couple of teachers I get on really well with, two I can cope with and two I can't stand. One is an NQT and just has no idea what she's doing, and one bullied my friend at the start of the year when she was late because the bus she was on broke down.

Nope, most hated me, even though i was lovely.

I don't think I am, I go to class do the work and leave.

I used to be pretty good to be fair in primary school, used to buy my teachers presents when they left or something. Then when I got to secondary god no. My teachers already decided to hate me because they taught my brother and he used to play up a lot. So they automatically disliked me so I argued a lot or didn't bother showing up to some classes oops :(. But I was pretty well behaved in some classes because the teacher respected me along with others so I respected them back.

I get on well with my teachers and take a lead in a lot of events that the school host. I wouldn't describe myself as a teacher's pet but instead someone mature enough to establish a good working relationship.
Schools are developing more now. It's less about teachers at one end and students at another but instead a level playing field where students should take responsibility for their own learning and development.
