Ms. Barret is one of the best biology teachers. She is always helpful, keeps you engaged, and the tests are really easy as long as you pay attention. In addition, she prepares you well for the final.

When I first entered Skyline as Freshman, I had Ms. Barret as my Biology A teacher. She didn't perform to her expectations. I often struggled through this class without learning any material that correlated with biology, but I realized that it wasn't my fault as some of my classmates started to complain about her teaching methods. She never really gave any material to the class to look at it such as notes, google slideshows, lectures, or anything of that nature. She did have strong knowledge of the topic(Biology), but I think the channeling part was that she didn't know how to teach it to her class full of first-year students. Overall, if you get assigned to have her as a teacher, please switch out as soon as possible. You might not perform as well as you do in other classes.
