Mrs. Peters Character Analysis

The orchestra teacher at the Richardson’s school. Her alcoholism and the hangovers with which she shows up to class are an open secret, and she is cruel to several of her students, most pointedly Deja Johnson. Izzy, with the help of her siblings, pulls a massive prank which results in teachers throughout the school being locked out of their classrooms as well as the faculty bathrooms and lounge; Mrs. Peters, unable to access a bathroom but having spent the morning drinking coffee in an attempt to cure her hangover, urinates all over the floor of one of the student bathrooms, becoming the subject of the whole school’s ridicule.
