I Make Them Think

I am not the only student teacher at my school. There is another, and she goes to a different University than I do to get her credential.
I was speaking with her on Friday, in the copy room, and she asked me about a particular student. We talked about him for a minute, and she told me that she knew him from outside of school. She asked me about him because I guess they had talked about me, which automatically would make me uncomfortable, of course. Anyway, the point is, he said he didn't like me, and that he likes their old teacher (my master teacher) more. Why is that?

Because I make them think.

I suppose, if there was any reason to be disliked, that is a good one for me.
