It seems whenever we do stretches I look around the class are there are plenty of other students with worse streches then me. Yet for some reason my instructor always seems to pick on my stretch. The same goes for forms. He seems to always pick on my stances and blocks when I constantly see others not sitting as deep or locked out. He even went so far as to move my middle block 1 inch to the left...At first I thought he was just preparing me because I am going to a tournament soon, but other students who will be competeting have worse forms than I do and he still does not pick on them...Anyone know what the deal is? Is he trying to prepare me? I try not to make a big deal of it, but its getting on my nerves more and more.

The parts I highlighted really stood out to me. You should be paying attenton to two people, your teacher and you. Stop worrying about about what everyone else is doing, stop watching other people. Just stop.
Not knowing the teacher or the other side of the story, sounds to me like hes pushing you. Why are you happy just being better than the others when you obviously are able to do more?
He forces more out of you and your getting frustrated, sounds like a good school.
I personaly pick on the good students, the ones that look out the window or are busy watching everyone else get picked on at first, then they just get ignored. Nothing is more annoying to someone that is teaching an art they love than to see people not paying attention and even worse, watching someone with a metric ton of potential not have the "hunger".
