Do you think Mr. Keesing was a strict teacher?

Yes, Mr. Keesing was a strict teacher. He did not allow students to talk in his class as he wanted them to concentrate on their studies. He often punished Anne for talking in between classes by giving her essays and extra work. However, he appreciated Anne for her strong arguments every time which can be traced from the instance when Mr. Keesing read out her beautiful poem on the topic ‘Quack Quack Quack, said Mistress Chatterbox.’ Such an instance shows that he was not only a strict teacher but also a fun loving person.
