Robyn Maybe a mental list but not written down on paper, that is so tacky and pretentious. Everyone has an idea of what they are looking for... example: good with children(if they want children or already have them) good in bed ( doesn't have to be a pro but it...

I have seen many students who roam around the teachers all the time and do all the work they want them to do, like one of their servants who don't even get paid for what they are doing for them. Students do this alot nowadays in...

Robyn ok for one thing what do you mean self respect? because no one else likes them for being a "teachers pet" do you actually talk to these students who do that? so you most likely don't know the real story so how do you know that they are doing it for extra...
