Grammar
Of and among
My English teacher told me that "-of N and -among N" are sometimes interchangeable for the same meaning, but I cannot agree with it. Could you give me any examples where they can be used interchangeably. And I am sorry about not giving any sentences and context. Thank you so much in advance.

Hi, Tom is the smartest of all my students. Tom is the smartest among all my students. There's no real difference here, although usually I'd say #1.
