Rite compliments Frank on the way the room looks . She regards his good taste as the cause of the appearance of the room. However, he just says he moved in that room and everything was that way. I guess she believes only educated people can make a room look nice and she predicts she is going to do the same one day, she probably refers to the moment she becomes a well read person.
On the other hand, she thinks the proper students are the ones who go to college and spend their lives reading and studying, not the way she spent her school days in the past. As if doing something different from those activities meant not being a proper student.

I like the way you discriminate between "educated" and "well-read", Silvia! :-D Can you guess why she thinks Frank's room is something to be looked up to?
Now, talking about your second discussion, your final statement suggests you don't quite agree with Rita on her idea of what makes a "proper student"... What would that be to you, I wonder?
Looking forward to hearing more from you,

I guess her house might look messy and as she needs a change in her life she also might need a change in the way her house looks, she might be fed up with it.
On the other hand, I think "proper student" is an awkward term, students are students with their own personalities and their asserts and mistakes as every human being. Proper would depend on what we think is right when we study or attend a course of studies....I guess... I wonder to...
Have you realized that "messy" and "wonderfully" are totally subjective concepts, Silvia? Or aren't they??
I love your discussion of what makes a proper student... Now, the question is, who decides what is "right" in educational institutions?
No easy questions this time!
Warmly,
Gladys
Not at all... taking into account it is very difficult to find an institution which follows the same criteria not just what they preaching but acting as well. Sometimes we teachers need to have certain clear parameters when being in front of a class. Not easy task at all, but otherwise we would be making a lot of mistakes with our students if we don not show, set and see what is right or wrong educationally speaking...
