Describe the classroom?

Grant Wiggins' classroom was the church. His desk was the collection table used for church on Sundays. Student seats were the benches used by parents and grandparents during church meetings. Ventilation in the room was by four windows on the side of the church and the front and back doors. A wood stove in the center of the church heated the room. An old worn blackboard was on the back wall.

Why did grant treat the children poorly?

How does grant tell the students about Jefferson?
