				| 
 |  
				| Who are your favorite students to teach?  What ages, or levels, or cultures, or specialty niches are your favorite?  Which group is the most fun?  Which is the most eager to learn?  Which has the greatest number of learners?  Which is the most rewarding?  Which group of learners is the most profitable for the teacher? 
 I thought it would be cool to find out your preferences.

				| My all time favorite students were female officer and warrant officer cadets in the Iranian Air Force.  When I come into the classroom, they snap to attention in unison. Very respectful, hardworking and motivated.  A delightful experience.
 
 There's something about a woman in uniform.
