classrooms. When she went back home and told her father
about it, her father became furious. The following morning,
when Tebogo’s father took her to school, he angrily confronted
the teacher and then slapped him. The teacher then slapped
the parent and there was a huge commotion. After the
commotion when Tebogo’s father was gone, the teacher
detained Tebogo again to get back at her father. Scenario 2:

announcements at the assembly, in her school, she starts by

with bullying. 1.2 Read the below passage and respond to the
given questions. Mrs Tall a grade 12 physical science teacher,
was polite and friendly to her learners, but it was clear she
wasn’t trying to be the learners’ friend. For instance, she used
the formal pronoun for addressing the group of learners, which
is unusual in this situation. Maybe she thought using somewhat
formal language added to creating a professional work
environment, and he might have hoped this would make
learners pay more attention in class. The teacher seemed very
serious about her field and approached the classes in an
organised manner: she would explain new topics by drawing
and writing on the board whilst talking about the subject. She
also frequently made her learners take small exams. In the
class, following such an exam she would show the learners pre-
made drawings of the answers and how to get there using an
overhead projector. This allowed the learners to figure out what
they did wrong and how they can do better at the bigger exams.
Mrs Tall will often take her learners on trips to the university’s
laboratories where they will see a few ‘special’ demonstrations.
These demonstrations made the theory seem much more
