Do you think Mr Keesing was a strict teacher?
Answers
No, Mr Keesing was not a rigidly strict teacher but he expected his class to maintain silence and discipline while he is imparting his lecture to the class. As a matter of fact, a teacher always thinks about the welfare of his students. Any teacher would be annoyed if the children keep on talking during the class. Mr Keesing was annoyed with Anne because she was very talkative. So to punish her, he would give her to do extra homework and often told her to write essays on her talkative nature. Besides, it should be noted that had he been strict, then he would not have laughed at Anne’s funny arguments
Answer:
Mr. Keesing may or may not be a strict teacher. But he expected discipline and silence in his class while he was teaching which is acceptable.He punished Anne by asking her to write an essay on ‘A Chatterbox’. When Anne wrote a convincing essay on it he received it with a good laugh. However when Anne continued with her talking he punished her again by asking her to write another essay; this time the topic was ‘An Incorrigible Chatterbox’. Even after this when she kept talking he asked her to write on the topic ‘Quack Quack Quack said Mistress Chatterbox”. He was trying to control a supposedly bad habit of Anne. However she came up with a brilliant poem and he read this poem in the class acknowledging its content. Therefore in regard of these events Mr. Keesing cannot be entirely labeled as a strict teacher. He was fun-loving too.
