I had Paul Francis as my English teacher at Harry Ainlay Highschool when I was in 10th grade, back in September 2019. Mr. Francis is nothing short of extraordinary, he is one of the only teachers, where what he taught me has stuck with me all my life. He helped not only with all the work in his class, but with anything in general. He took extra time explaining important life-lessons that otherwise would not have been taught in any other class. Mr. Francis goes above and beyond, easily the greatest teacher I have ever had. He teaches what he needs to in such a unique, excellent way that it sticks with you long after that class is over. I can’t remember much of my teachers from highschool, Paul stands out, we even had a snowball fight with him as a class! I would consider him a friend, and a person I look up to. He is one of the most patient, and understanding people I have ever met in my life. I thank him for everything he has taught me, and I hope he sees this. If you do see this, Thank you so much for everything, the things you taught me, I still use in my everyday life. Thanks again, Yashar
