The way in which Bambara chooses to end her story leaves the reader wondering if the author learned anything from Miss Moore. Do you think Miss Moores teaching technique was effective in teaching the author? Why or why not?
I think that it was somewhat effective because at the end she says that she has to think this day through rather than go and spend the $4 dollars she stole. If she had not learned anything then that $4 dollars would of been spent on ice cream sodas.
Yes, I believe that Miss Moore's teaching technique was effective. Although the author refused to acknowledge Miss Moore's question if anybody else learned anything, she concludes the essay by saying she is going to have to take some time to think the day through. The authors initial reaction may have simply been a response to the stunning realization of the unequal distribution of wealth amongst society. Many times people initially respond to new iedeas and concepts by rejecting them, but later ponder their validity and come to grips with the fact that they might be true.
I also believe that Miss Moore proved to be an effective teacher simply because she made the children think. Ineffective teachers will have no effect on their students once they are gone. A good teacher will always leave you thinking about what you have learned.
I believe that Miss Moore's teaching had an effect on the author because in the second to last paragraph the grammar improves, which I think shows that he not only learned some grammar from Miss Moore but also a new way to think and look at the world.
I agree that the teacher's method was effective in teaching a lesson to the children. Sugar seems to usually act resistant to Miss Moore's questions and her attempts to teach them, but in this case, Sugar admitted that she actually had learned something. Although the narrator, who was surprised by Sugar's words, would not admit to the same, I think this shows that the teacher really did get through to them, but the narrator is still not humble or mature enough to accept a lesson.
i think that the teacher's teaching method was effective as well becuase like others said she got her students to think. she opened their eyes to the real world where things arent fair and can even seem rediculous. by giving them an opportunity to witness the difference between classes in society, miss moore mihgt have spark the student's thinking and show them that they can change the way they live.

I am in agreement with everyone else. I do think that Miss Moore's teaching technique was effective. Showing the children first hand how much some people spend on unecessary items really made them think. I think that this is proved because of what Amanda T-C said: the narrator did not spend the extra $4 on ice cream sodas or whatever else she wanted to do, but instead went away thinking about the money she had in her pocket and what unecessary material goods it could buy.
I agree with the rest of the comments tha Miss Moore's teaching technique was effective. I feel that if she hadn't learned anything she would have gone and wasted the $4 she had on little things that would be gone in a matter of minutes.
