She is a very nice caring person. She was really good with her teaching. We would switch our students halfway through the semester. I could use the lessons from the first half for the second half and then work on new lessons for the next semester. We worked together for three years. I think we averaged fifteen classes a week each semester. Seems like we had fourteen sometimes and sixteen other times. We had each class once a week. We had around thirty students in each class. The students at this school were 10th, 11th and 12th graders. Mary and I had the 10th and 11th grader...
