Why do you believe Mrs. Mudford was so hostile to both Madeline and Amanda?
Mrs. Mudford was uncomfortable with people who didn’t fit the mold, who lived outside the parameters of what she thought a family should be. Single parenthood just wasn’t acceptable to her. If my child had been subjected to a teacher like that for two consecutive years, there’d have been hell to pay.

She seemed to be an unhappy person who looked for ways to judge other people I think, out of jealousy and leading a small life. She was unable to accept anyone who didn’t fit her rules of the way life should be.it seems there are people who think the way they can feel better is to make other people feel worse.She was so petty and a terrible roll model for children. A real creep!
I believe she was a miserable person and was jealous and instead of trying to understand other view points, she took the other approach.
