Respect for the students is just as important as students respect for the teacher. In order to prevent favoritism in the classroom, the author created a checklist that teachers can perform upon themselves in order to prevent favoritism. It consists of questions that ask whether you are treating a student less than the others or are giving a few more attention than the others.
The checklist was interesting to see because I remember seeing teachers in my high school who did favor certain students. It made everyone else in the class feel less than the others because they weren’t the favored ones. Of course it can go the other way as well; some students felt uncomfortable because they were the favored students and didn’t like the extra attention. This is an important thing for each teacher to prevent because all students should have the same opportunities.
