Not as discouraging if so is true for ALL of the students under this high and mighty professor. However, there is an obvious presence of heavy favoritism towards a selected few, to which he requite their unnecessary(and sometimes stupid) questions with stately, intellectual answers. And if they're lucky, side jokes with sexual understatements.
And as for the chosen one in the contrary, he looks at him with scorn even before the poor student's sincere question is uttered. Once the question has been said, all hell breaks loose.
By now I guess you all know who this chosen one is. But I choose not to care anymore(but that's what I said a few times before). Nor will I say who this teacher is. Although much respected with his ocean of works, the shoreline on which I stand; disgusting.
