 "I must give credit where credit is due and say thank you. I wouldn't have had a prayer on that test if it wasn't for your inspired teaching. Even if it was at times irritating, frustrating, infuriating, maddening, and loathsome, my ability as a critical reader, writer, and communicator improved by leaps and bounds as a result of your class."

Jesse Payne-Johnson, AP Language student
