“The Cat and The Coffee Drinkers” Response

smartacl3s on Nov 5, 2009

For those of you who have read "The Cat and the Coffee" Drinkers by Max Steele, this is a response to a prompt on whether or not the teacher, Miss Effie Barr is a good or a bad teacher.

In conclusion, as stated numerous times, yes, Miss Effie is a good teacher. Everything she does has a logical reason behind it and in one way or another prepares the student for something that they’ll encounter in their daily lives. The final nail in the coffin is that these children are still very young, about 5 or 6 years old. They’re light years ahead of other kids their age. The question is, what else can Miss Effie teach them?

why would the title be appropriate for this story? i was wondering because its an odd title, why would it be called “the cat and the coffee drinkers’?

It would be called that because she teaches the children how to drink coffee and she has a cat. This cat was old and loved to fight (with other cats). When he one day came home, torn up and bleeding, Mrs. Effie had her students help her put him to sleep. It’s a bit crude I find.
