Question

‘One good school master is worth a thousand priests.’ Describe Braithwaite’s crucial role in bringing a significant change in the students in the excerpt ‘Students of Greenslade School’.

Answer 1

Answer:

As Braithwaite walks through the hallways, he is nearly knocked over by several students running out of a classroom. He knocks and enters to see what is happening, only to find forty students unattended. By their dress and demeanor, they seem to be well aware of their maturing bodies. Everything is “a bit soiled and untidy, as if too little attention were paid to washing either themselves or their flashy finery.”
