I think a lot of people identify as Holden. You gotta be really lacking in self-awareness to not understand what Holden is going through in the novel.

She was actually a pretty decent teacher albeit really weird and eccentric (like most of my English teachers.) idk, maybe she was roasting Holden to try to win over the mostly uninterested class.
