Four students are telling one another about their new teachers. From the perspective of the textbook, which student is describing the most effective classroom climate?
a. Adele says, My teacher is really cool. He pretty much lets us do our own thing. He doesn't pressure us if we don't feel like paying attention. In fact, one girl was crying in the corner the other day, and he didn't say a word to her.
b. Brandon says, My teacher is a little scary at times. When Harry came in late one day, she looked over her reading glasses at him until he crawled into his seat, and she suggested that if he was late again, he might as well not show up.
c. Chelsey says, My teacher makes class really fun. He tells lots of jokes to make us laugh. If we don't get anything done one day, we just try to do twice as much the next day.
d. Darren says, Marianne came in late yesterday looking really upset. My teacher stopped for a minute to talk quietly with her but didn't give her much static about being late for class.
