Chapter 2: Respect, Liking, Trust, and Fairness

I agree that teachers should never play favorites. Instead they should challenge, grade, and treat each student equally.
I really liked that the book covered this from both the aspect of the student that was being ignored, and the student that was being treated specially. I for one have been in both situations and they are both uncomfortable. No student should be ignored or made to feel that they are not worth the effort. However; at the same time students don’t want to be singled out and treated differently than their peers. When students are put in this situation they are sometimes ostracized from, or made fun of by their peers.
