Question

In all summer in a day, which teacher arrives?

Answer 1

The Inaccessible Authority: The Teacher

The teacher is neither named nor described by Bradbury, making her more of a token outside authority than a true part of the children’s world. She performs her teacher’s duties, reprimanding William for being cruel to Margot, but only in a limited capacity; she ultimately doesn’t see or understand what is happening with the children. The children, then, might be seen as governing themselves despite the seeming presence of authority.
