How do you behave in class, and more specifically, towards your teachers? I’m just kind of curious to know. Would you consider yourself a teacher’s pet, or are you the kind of student that the teacher wishes would just drop the class, or are you in between?

(Just a bit of background as to why I’m asking: My French teacher this year was a new teacher, and he probably had the worst year of his career. He didn’t want to come off as a jerk, so he was pretty easygoing for the first few weeks. My classmates latched onto his weakness, and began talking back to him, openly cutting class, etc. People would leave to go to the bathroom and come back with a slice of pizza, or not come back at all. When he tried to crack down on the bad behavior, my peers called told him he was too controlling, and would tell each other (while he could hear) that it didn’t matter what he said, and to do what they wanted. I was surprised to see how rude people were, especially because I’ve known some of these people for years, and because some of them seemed so nice in the beginning of the year.)
