In junior year we had a really inflammatory and eccentric teacher who was beloved by students and hated by parents and he assigned this work to us. He particularly focused on the story Hands which felt very telling, especially since he got flak for talking too openly about sex with the students.
He never really intentionally crossed the line and seemed to just wish he was teaching college kids rather than high schoolers but he certainly made some kids uncomfortable, but for the most part he was loved for being funny and candid. I sort of see Wing in Hands like that, as I remember. He shouldn’t be so touchy with the students but he also doesn’t come off as a pedo, just naive in how his actions will come across. However I haven’t read the story in a long time.
Great book!
