Chapter 7 of "A lesson before dying" supports the theme: "The superintendent's priorities are not what they should be" because:
Instead of meeting the important educational needs that Mr. Grant want, the Superintendent was focused on the physical appearance of the students.
<h3>What was the theme of chapter 7?</h3>
In Chapter 7 of A lesson before Dying, we learn of the Superintendent's annual visit to the school. Dr. Morgan is the Superintendent who meticulously inspected the children to examine their hygiene.
He puts too much effort into this because he ignored Mr. Grant's plea for books and other educational materials that will aid learning.
