Dear Sir,
I saw the following in one English textbook published in Singapore: "There was this lady Maths teacher. To her we were just mixed-up kids. To us she was not only a square but a parallelogram. She could never figure out what we would be up to next."
I can find the meaning of a square in the description of a person. But for "parallelogram", I can't. May I know what is the meaning of "parallelogram" in the above context?
Thank you.
