[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what does one do as a parent when their 8y/o tells them things like the following:

- I think so and so is the teacher's pet.  
-I don't know what to do to make the teacher like me.  She doesn't laugh at things I do like she does with some other kids.
-I do raise my hand but the teacher never calls on me.[/quote]

I think your child is a bit sensitive and it is important to him/her to have the teacher's approval, but he/she feels that someone else is getting more attention than he/she is. This could be because the teacher has a great connection with that student, or it may be that the student requires more time and attention than others.
I have also noticed that teachers rarely call on kids who usually raise their hand and usually know the answer...they want to hear from the kids who don't always speak up or the kids who will answer with something that needs a bit of correction or elaboration.

Honestly, I would brush it off, and see if it the kid brings it up again before I even thought twice about it. [/quote]
