The teacher, Ms. Orville seems at first strict and demanding, but in reality she is just passionate. She likes things to go the way she wants, and is often harsh, as shown when she said, “You are not cattle milling in a pen. Enough foolish gaping! Come, come, form into lines.” She also has no problem insulting someone. For example, once, she wrote “young Bruce’s penmanship was comparable to a chicken’s– if a chicken could write.”
Meanwhile, Ms Wilson is more relaxed and relatable to the children. She is more leisurely and doesn’t prioritize learning. She interacts with them and isn’t as strict. She becomes close with most of the class, is lenient, and rolls along with whatever the students do.
In the end, the students learnt more in Ms. Orville’s class, but liked Ms. Wilson’s class more.
