Good morning Michael,
Here are my answers.
1. She was very mean to all of the students. She was always yelling and screaming at everyone.
2. I think he appreciates her strong discipline.
My second daughter often says “That’s mean!” when I scold her.
Hi Ryo. It seems like she’s picked up some practical English. By the way, did you have a similar experience with your school teachers?
My second grade teacher had wooden sticks (kind of hockey sticks) and hit us with them on the butts… Furthermore, the art teacher was making those wooden sticks and displayed some of them in school entrance hall as his works… OMG.
Wow! Now that’s what I call discipline!

1- The problem with Michael’s sixth grade teacher is that she was very mean to all the students . she was very strict , but he didn’t understand what strict means .She was yelling and screaming at everyone .
