Chubby cheeks, dimpled chin
Rosy lips, teeth within
Curly hair, very fair
Eyes are blue - lovely too.
Teachers pet, is that you?
Yes, Yes, Yes!
Yes people! It's time for the 11th post under #LifeOfAStudent and this one's about teacher's pet... :P
I am not sure who wrote that particular rhyme but I definitely don't think that the criteria for being a teacher's pet includes chubby cheeks or a dimpled chin. Not even blue eyes for that matter! :P Those things must have been the criteria for being crowned the teacher's pet ages ago as I believe that the rhyme's pretty old!
You have so many teacher's pets within the four walls of your own classroom. Some of the students are pets of particular teachers and some, well they belong to the entire school staff. Being a monitor is not always fun, likewise, being a teacher's pet can become embarrassing (especially if you've got friends like mine). :P
I am not sure if many of you are interested in being called the teacher's pet. I mean who would aspire for becoming that (even though the truth is that we all love it when the teacher praises us and scolds the students seated behind us for talking when it's actually us talking)?
But, here's a thing that one of my Biology teachers told me : there are always exceptions. So, there might be a lot of people who are desperate to know what could make them a teacher's pet. So, what are the qualities that you should ideally possess?
Like I said above if you've curly hair or chubby cheeks or fair complexion or anything else mentioned in the rhyme above, you are NOT guaranteed the position of a teacher's pet(You may not buy the curlers, you know?)
In the present day world, if you want to become a teacher's pet you should try the following things :
1. I don't think that marks make you a teacher's pet unless of course, we are talking of some really mark-oriented teachers. You should work on how you're in class. For example, if the teacher's explaining something keep nodding your head to show that you're understanding(make sure you understand as well 'cause that is important for the next step).
2. When the teacher asks questions, answer them bang on. Answering questions will be easier if you stay attentive. So step/rule 2 is to answer questions and be attentive.
3. It's important to answer questions. But, I have observed the teacher's pets in my class and I have come to the conclusion that you probably need to ask questions as well(though I don't like the idea). So, make sure you have a book of doubts close by. But, don't interrupt the teacher 'cause that will perturb her/him and please avoid doubts which make no sense.
4. Laugh at the teacher's jokes, no matter how poor they actually are. Well some teachers make it easy for you by cracking laughable-jokes. But then, luck doesn't always favour one.
5. Be good at something. It could be anything. Sports, academics, extra-curricular activites, anything at all!
6. If you don't find the above helpful, go to a bookstore and get your hands on some good essay books which have essays on topics like "Ideal student" and go through them. I am sure you'll get plenty of tips from them. :P
So with those 6 tips I'll end this post. Good luck with your mission! :P
