Ms. Desbien is SUCH a good teacher. She's sweet, nice, positive, and funny. She actually tries to help you get an A in her class. Ms. Desbien is also really easygoing and makes her class a lot of fun. She never uses textbooks, but instead, uses interesting websites and rarely gives out tests. I had her for both seventh grade and eighth grade, and I was so happy. You will love Ms. Desbien!

Desbien was a very very good teacher. She is a young and active teacher who likes teaching her classes in fun ways. She makes sure that all the students understand the concept and she makes it easier to study by posting quizlet links on schooloop. If you don't turn in an assignment, she will give you another chance to turn it in. Being in her class is an easy A.
