Clara was planning to ask around for updates regarding the situation after class, so naturally, she wasn't able to focus while she taught. Students had noticed that she had made a few simple mistakes while teaching, causing displeasure to rise amongst the students of 1A.
When the bell rang, signifying the end of school, Clara felt like she was finally released from prison as she hurriedly ran out of class with her lesson plans in tow. To Yolanda, it was exactly like she was scurrying away defeatedly.
"Why is Ms. Bennett so odd today?"
"I noticed it too. The few errors that she had made while teaching were clearly not supposed to be made."
"Ms. Bennett has been very distracted recently. Have you noticed that?"
"We've gotta submit our feedback. Her focus is clearly not on teaching."
If it were other classes, they wouldn't talk about their teacher like this. However, since class 1A was the class of honors, if half the class or more were unhappy with any teacher, they had the right to request a change of teacher by voting them out.
Initially, they all thought Clara was a pretty good teacher since she had solid professional knowledge. However, recently, the errors she had made while teaching were very prominent.
"We'll keep this in view. She's probably just not well the past two days.'
Madeline, the class rep, was also a little displeased with Clara, but she didn't immediately head to the discipline office to complain about her.
"If she's still like this next week, we'll look to the disciplinary department to tell Mr. Zwink about it."
Yolanda's face was apathetic as she listened to what the other students were saying.
