"One day, the teacher, who seldom spoke to us since it was understood that most of what she taught was beyond the reach of our intelligence, placed books in our hands and whispered that we should sit there quietly “pretending to read.” The principal was coming."
Response
This scenario is something that I just can't believe would happen. To think that a teacher, no matter what time period it was, would tell her students to pretend to read instead of actually teaching them is appalling. Even if the author had a learning disability she should have received an equal chance to learn. And every teacher should try to teach his/her students to the best of that students ability and make sure that they are bringing the knowledge to the student in a way that they student would be able to understand.
