Higher Ed: KUT's Jennifer Stayton and Dr. Ed Burger On The Impact Of Labels Like "Teacher's Pet"

"Teacher's pet." "Know-it-all." "Brown-noser." These are just some of the terms students lob at each other in (and out) of school - especially at students who demonstrate strong mastery of a subject or are enthusiastic in class. In this episode of the KUT podcast "Higher Ed," Southwestern University President Dr. Ed Burger and KUT's Jennifer Stayton explore why we sometimes feel the need to use those labels - but why they might not pack the punch that they used to.
