I like Cromwell as a fictional character but I'd have detested having her as a teacher, I suspect. Mind you, I think one of the problems with both maths teachers and games teachers is that even more than in other fields, they're self-selected from people who absolutely cannot imagine the mental state of people who have no or limited aptitude for the subject, and tend to imagine that since people cannot possibly be naturally bad at something they have managed with ease since birth, practically, they must simply not be making the effort. I don't know how Crommie is with people who don't have a natural aptitude for maths, but I definitely see both Lois and Redmond as being that sort of games coach, with Nicola, Rowan and Craven being more on the empathetic side.
