Art Teachers Faves Points System

My art teacher tends to have favourites when it comes to her students. The better you're artwork relates to the style of art she likes, the more attention she pays to you and your artwork. If you do an amazing artwork you'll have her attention more. If you hand in a bad artwork and art journal then she'll think less of you and will pay a lot less attention to you.

My friends and I have noticed this in our art teacher and realised that our friend Jess is her favourite because they have similar tastes in artistic style. Caity is a close second, I'm third and poor old Mad is last. So, today we set up a scoring system that tallies points to each of us when our teacher does particular things.
Going by our teacher's previous behaviours we concluded that at the start of that lesson Jess was on 1000 points, Caity was on 700, I was on 600 and Mad was on 500. In the middle of last year I was probably on 400, Caity 500, Mad 800 and Jess was still 1000. Mad's points were lowered because of the quality of her artwork at the end of last year and mine and Caity's were raised because we did awesome artworks (finally).
So at the start of our art lesson we made a key for how we score or lose points and then we'll see who the teacher’s favourite is at the end of the year.

Key
Shows interest in work = 1 point per minute and 2 points after 5 minutes
Concern about absence = 10 points
Lack of concern about absence = -5 points
Death stare (blank stare when uninterested or confused or expressing dislike for work)= -15 points
Bragging to other teachers about individuals artwork= 50 points
Changing your idea for artwork = -15 points (depends on how big a change [group vote])
Special Treatment (Bringing stuff for your work or ordering in supplies)= 20 points
Life Story (something you do makes her talk about her life) = 2 points per min and 4 points each min over 5 min
Back Stabbing (individuals working against other individuals) = -50 points
Bringing up thoughts of you ("I was thinking about your artwork on the weekend....") = 20 points
Questioning your artwork = -10 points
Believing lies = 10 points
Not believing lies = - 10 points

After today’s lesson Jess earned 13 points for interest and 2 points for life story, Caity earned 1 point for interest, 2 points for life story and 10 points for special treatment, I earned 2 points for interest and Mad earned 1 point for interest.

We'll see how this works out.
