Mrs. O'Connor is a genuinely kind, PATIENT (she is so patient, too patient, with people in her classroom who don't shut up), but very respected teacher. No one in the classroom ever tended to dislike her, especially since the last Spanish teacher we had was god awful, one of the worst in the district. I think she knew that we all had dealt with a year or two with this teacher who was so short-tempered and rude, and decided to show us that kindness matters and can change the course of how kids learn and understand Spanish. She always spent time to make sure we talked about things outside of the classroom as well as balance with learning inside the classroom so that when big things happened (a kid went missing for like twelve hours in our class and she let us talk about it rather than pretending it's not a thing, the pandemic happening, etc) we didn't spend the entire class distracted and thinking about it. I genuinely recommend choosing classes with this teacher, especially if... well, if you know you know who, ruined Spanish 1 and Spanish 2 for you. But aside from that teacher, I sincerely hope the best for O'Connor and I hope she stays at GHS for a long time. If you need someone to tell about what you're going through, she'll be there to listen and will stay long after graduation.
