    No it isn't possible. We teachers never have favorites or act subjectively. d-:
    Just kidding.
    Here are some more possibilities:
    Teachers have pet students/pupils. ["Students" in AE reaches down to high school level and sometimes even lower; pupils is more appropriate for elementary school.]
    Teachers have favorite/favourite students/pupils. [First spelling is AE]
    Teachers have preferred students
    Teachers prefer some students to others
    Teachers favor some students over others
