[quote=Anonymous] There is favoritism everywhere, OP, but generally it starts by a coach or teacher or mentor noticing that a student has gifts, not only in the discipline, but also in socio-emotional intelligence - knowing how to take direction, how to read between the lines, how to lose gracefully and win without crowing, how to be resilient during difficult times... all this is part of the package. My daughter has been favored by her teacher. That's because she's exceptionally intelligent and quick, and he has therefore invested in her because he recognized she could go the distance. In return, she has benefited from favorable treatment. My other kids have never had that sort of favor, because they're not as talented. That's how it works in life. [/quote]
