Students just love to tell you that you are their all-time favorite teacher. While this sentiment does make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, I have learned to take it with a grain of salt.
Case in point:
As I was circulating around the room today, helping students with the independent study assignment (basically reading the chapter and answering questions on a worksheet) that they were working on, one of the boys waved me over with a question.
After we solved his problem, he smiled up at me and said, "You know? You are my favorite teacher this year."
Thanking him (and reminding him to keep working ... Flattery does not exempt you from finishing the classwork assignment), I turned to go on with my circulating when I heard a friend of his whisper, "That's what you said to Miss P. in English last period."
At least I'm in the top two. :)
