Question

what kind of teacher was Mr crocker Harris for all and taplow

Answer 1

Mr. Crocker Harris, being a teacher of old classics for many years at a British school, was very strict about rules. He wants his students to work hard at their lessons. He does not voilate any rule as other teachers do. He does not tell the results before the official announcement. Then he assesses each and every strudent objectively. Because of all these things, he is not liked by taplow and other students, his colleagues and even by the principal. So he is forced to retire permanently. As the school is not going to give him pension, his future is bleak. Though taplow calls him 'a sadish' and 'inhuman', he has good opinion about him. In short, he is good but unpopular teacher in the school.

I hope this answers all about your question.

Answer 2

Answer: what is the basis of your information that crocker Harris was not a popular teacher.

In fact Taylor himself says that crocker Harris is respected a lot by the students despite his strictness. Moreover I believe his wife was trying to make taplow feel comfortable and not wait for such a long time for his teacher . She just wanted to let it be known that it was alright not to wait for that long, and since he was still hesitating , she was able to find a way out for him so that he could be a respectful and obedient student also, without having to wait for him unnecessarily. In fact she appears to be genuinely loving her husband as she understood not only the sentiments of the student, but also the fact that what she saw happening in front of her was nothing but human nature. In fact she must have read on his face

the unmistakable feeling of deep regard that taplow had for Mr crocker Harris
