We say "teacher �s pet" or "brownnoser" (the last is an unpleasant visual) in the U.S. |

�Apple polisher! � - it �s lovely, but I �ve never heard it before. Maybe it comes from years ago, when a goody two -shoes pupil would bring an apple to school for the teacher.
�The teacher �s pet � is the teacher �s favourite pupil. It �s a real put-down for a pupil to be called the teacher �s pet by his or her classmates. I suppose a good term for a pupil who sucks up to the teacher would be �creep. �

Thanks for answering
I have always had the idea that teacher�s pet is the teacher�s favourite student but I was looking for a word to call those students who try hard to make the teachers like them and often the rest of the students reject this kind of behavior . Please leet me know if I�m mistaken.

I think BROWN NOSE is the word I was looking for. I have already checked it with the Cambridge on line dictionary
