Critical Incident #6

One day Mr. Flanders who teaches English conversation class asked the students what they did during the weekend. Since no student would speak up, Mr. Flanders had to call on Hideto to answer. Hideto said that he woke up at six o'clock to be on time for a bus tour to the mountains. Chisato who was asked to speak next said the same thing because she was on the same tour. When Kazuko's turn came she said, "Same as Chisato." Hearing her response, Mr. Flanders became very upset. He was unhappy that he did not bother to ask the fourth student anything.
Why do you think Mr. Flanders became so upset?
 

1. Mr. Flanders was upset because the students were spending the weekend having fun instead of studying English.
2. Mr. Flanders had something personal against Kazuko and did not like whatever she did or said.
3. Mr. Flanders was bored by the answer of the three students because they repeated the same things.
4. Mr. Flanders was tired of having to call on the students to answer his questions..
