Answers
No, Mr. Keesing was not a strict teacher. Like every other loyal and motivated teacher, he wanted his students to concentrate on their studies and do well in regards to education.
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.
