Mrs. Jewls
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mrs. Jewls is a character in the series of books called Sideways Stories From Wayside School.
She is the teacher on the 30th and top floor of Wayside School. She replaced Mrs. Gorf as the teacher when Mrs. Gorf was turned into an apple and accidentally eaten by Louis.
She is mostly a nice and good teacher, but she has been known to snap. In Chapter 26 of Wayside School is Falling Down, she hears a mean and nasty voice inside her. She tries to ignore it, but she can't. She tells the class to shut up three times, breaks a yardstick on a desk, and almost pours a vat of brine on a girl's head. As a result, she sends herself home early on the kindergarten bus as punishment.
In Wayside School Gets A Little Stranger, she announces that she is pregnant in Chapter 9 of the book, and doesn't appear again until Chapter 30, with her baby girl, Mavis.
