HELP PLEASE
1. What does Wilkins mean by the term nonstandard person (paragraph 3)? Do you think he later felt more like a "standard"
person? Why or why not?
2. Wilkins mentions several ways Miss Bean treated him differently from the way he was treated by the other teachers at Creston.
How did her approach differ from theirs? What does this approach reveal about Miss Bean-as a teacher and as a person?
3. Wilkins says that initially he was Miss Bean's "incipient teacher's pet" (paragraph 6). But how did Miss Bean's behavior toward
him go beyond mere favoritism? In what way did her treatment of Wilkins affect how his peers regarded him?
4. In paragraph 7, Wilkins says, "Miss Bean became the first teacher ever to require me to think." Before Miss Bean's class, what
do you suspect Wilkins-and his classmates-were being taught to do in school? Describe a teacher who gave you "the sense
that thinking was part of education." In your opinion, what can teachers do to get students to think?
