B. "as a teacher, I am in favor of opening a new school". Author's point of view is where an author comes from--their culture, background, and experiences which shape their opinions. This point of view can lead to bias in a person's opinion. In the case of the quote, the teacher would have a definte position on the opening of a new school and that position would be based on being an educator. This position would differ from other point's of view like a tax payer or a parent.
