[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids that are nice, polite, respect, kind and smart get preferential treatment. I want kids like that in my class. I want to see them thrive. Not kids of parents who are jerks. Being a good kid goes a long way. Volunteer for the right reasons. [/quote] Are you a an elementary teacher? In my children's elementary school there is no rhyme or reason to who makes it to the "favorites" list and who doesn't. A mean kid here, a nice kid there, a smart kid here, a dumb kid there. I haven't seen that parents volunteering or not makes any difference. There seems to be a lot more luck and randomness involved, or maybe teachers and admin favor students who are similar to themselves (which explains why there always seem to be a handful mean and dumb kids making it to favorites...)[/quote]
