I’m a 25 year old teacher teaching at boys school & I have colleagues younger than me. I caught one of my students telling her he wanted her as his teacher instead & it hurt my feelings. They compliment her a lot. It makes me jealous. What do I do?

Me: 'Yes, it is,' I agreed.

Sister: 'Really? Huh! Do you know how tough it is to give exams for nearly a month? And if you don’t get over 95%, you won’t get into a good college.'

Me: 'Okay, but why are you so obsessed with comparing these exams? What are you comparing them on?'

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

Me: 'I mean, are you comparing the failure rates, syllabus, depth of understanding, question difficulty, or the range of topics covered?'
