Well yes, children under the age of about 12 have not developed empathy or conscience, so are little sociopaths. As a child I was a real little cunt;smart, devious, ruthless and utterly self centred. As an adult I'm a bit less ruthless as I'm burdened with an inconvenient vestigal Catholic conscience.
Children can also be endearing, and fascinating to be around. I know this to be true because I met one like that once,in England in 2000. He was the 11 year son of my host. He was highly intelligent, witty and good company,just like being with a real person. Last I heard the kid was over 6 feet ,rather lumpy, and busy bonking his way through the female student body of a small English University. I knew I was right to like him.
I guess a teacher would probably run across quite a few interesting little nose miners.
