Mrs. Maxy is Joey's teacher. She likes Joey and sees his goodness. Mrs. Maxy, however, also sees that Joey is in part responsible for his own problems. She notes that he has poor decision making skills, and that he needs medication, in addition to special education classes. While Mrs. Maxy is certainly one of Joey's supporters, her methods and beliefs often counter her own. In the end, Mrs. Maxy is a large part of Joey's support system, and a supporter of his behavioral modification.
