Mr. P was one of Junior's teachers when Junior was still taking classes at an Indian high school in the book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, but unfortunately he demonstrated what it means to be the opposite of a great teacher . He is lazy and unprofessional. Mr. P wears pajamas to school, falls asleep during class, and sometimes forgets to come to class. This is the kind of teacher who is not motivated to be an effective teacher. He has no connection with the students, he was just there to teach. How can a person be your teacher if he doesn't act as a role model towards you and what can you learn from a person like that if he falls asleep in class and always forgets to come to class and to teach. As a result, not all students who attended the Rez school acquired sufficient knowledge, causing the entire reservation to lack education..
