Tricky Old Teacher Mary Better [exclusive] Review

It was easy to mistake Mary’s strictness for cruelty. She rarely handed out perfect scores, and her feedback was blunt. If a paper was lazy, she wrote "Lazy" across the top in red ink.

The second part of the keyword— "Mary better" —is a colloquial, emphatic conclusion. It is the student’s final verdict after years of hindsight. You don't appreciate Mary at fifteen. You loathe her. You cry in the bathroom because she gave you a C- on a paper you "worked really hard on." tricky old teacher mary better
