Question

Anne says teachers are most unpredictable. Is Mr Keesing unpredictable? How?

Answer 1

Anne believed a quarter of her class was incapable of advancing and should be retained. She found teachers to be highly unpredictable, a trait exemplified by Mr. Keesing. Despite Anne's constant talking during lessons, which would typically provoke anger in any teacher, Mr. Keesing's response after multiple warnings was to assign her extra homework. Her first assignment was an essay titled 'A Chatterbox,' intended as a humorous jab. Each time she was tasked with such essays, Anne responded with well-written pieces, effectively countering his jokes. It was surprising that he took her retorts in good humor. Ultimately, when she submitted an essay entirely in verse, he acknowledged her talkative nature and permitted her to speak freely in class, ceasing further extra assignments. This demonstrates Mr. Keesing's unpredictable nature.
