The aliens get to meet at least one nice person, and they are very glad for the teacher who is going to help them when no one else will.
She contributes a lot to the aliens and represents the good in the world. She shows us that there aren't a lot of good people out there.
She is important to the story and it wouldn't be a good story without her.

No, the aliens scorched the earth leaving blackened patches of grass and wisps of smoke that curled and died.
Yes, the beautiful aliens took the plain aliens away.
