Lorde illustrated Sister Mary as a strict person by
describing that she asked Audre's Mother "not to dress me in so many
layers of clothing because then I couldn't feel the strap on my behind when I
was punished."
This show how much she thought the young girl needed to be
punished and it was probably a lot more then needed. Audre later says that Sister
Mary "hated either teaching or little children." Which is something
no teacher should feel and no student should need to think a teacher feels. In
fact, I think the opposite should be true to be considered a good teacher.
Her teacher before this one, Miss Teacher, didn't embrace
that she had a more advanced student. She tries to dumb her down so she's at
the same level as everyone else. I think students that are more advanced should
be cherished. I'm glad that now they are. Miss Teacher also doesn’t try to help Audre
understand what she’s done wrong just tells her she isn’t doing it right. She
also turns the class against Audre which is never right for a teacher to do. I
would not consider this teacher a good teacher at all.
