class pet
Schoolroom furry friend
A class pet is an animal kept in a classroom, typically small and low-maintenance like a hamster, fish, or lizard, used to teach children responsibility and basic animal care.
The term extends figuratively to a student perceived as the teacher's favorite—one who curries favor or receives preferential treatment: She was such a class pet, always staying after to help clean the boards.
