Do u agree that Thami is Mr M's favorite?

Mr. M is Thami’s favorite teacher (and the latter is his favorite student) and he desperately wants Thami to succeed, but fears that his involvement with a bad crowd will bring him down. As a result, he tries to get Isabel to work with Thami in an interschool literary competition in the hope of landing a scholarship for his favorite student. Mr. T puts in a lot of effort and energy into Thami throughout the play.

Thami is Mr M's favourite because he sees that Thami is intelligent and he believes that he could be very successful as he regard him as a natural leader. He even make decisions about Thami's future on his behalf as he says he knows what's best for him.
