Teacher’s Pest Questions & Answers

Hi Everyone!! This article will share Teacher’s Pest Questions & Answers. This poem is written by Roann Mendriq. In this poem, the poet talks about an unusual occurrence that takes place in a class room. It created frightening situation not only for students but also for the teachers. The poet talks about a school day where the teacher is ready to teach the students the multiplication sums. Everything is calm and restful until they see a spider dangling from the ceiling of the class room. The students as well as the teacher are taken aback at the sight of the spider. In fact, the teachers face turns into a pure white mask. Her eyes look dull and lifeless as the spider peers at her. The gist of the poem is that the poet tries to tell us that teachers are also humans. They too have a fear factor within them.

Teacher's Pest

By roann mendriq, it was a usual day at school and teacher seemed quite stern, she glared at us and didn’t smile, and scolded us to learn. i sat in silence, grumpily, twiddling both my thumbs, and tried my best to concentrate on multiplication sums. teacher sat down in her chair with her glasses on her nose when suddenly her scolding stopped - we looked and she just...froze a spider had descended from its home up on the ceiling, and she just sat there transfixed devoid of any feeling. her face was like a ghastly mask, her eyes looked up in fear and as the spider peered at her, one thing was made quite clear. teachers are also human, they have fears like you and me, that's what i learnt in school today, and my heart was filled with glee.
