The class he teaches are all APs and all of them are history. memorization and understanding are key and he does both for you his question on the test aren't hard if you study and depending on where you sit in the class you can use your phone to cheat most material reviewed in class but some will be gone over in HW only

Mr. Palladino is easily the best teacher I've had in high school, and I doubt anyone else will be able to be better than him. He has that passion for United States History and that passion for teaching that many teachers lack. Some teachers also have topics in APUSH that they struggle to teach, but he knows all his material and teaches it extremely well. His work ethic is insane as well. I arrive in school at around 7:00am several times a week to do extracurricular work, and I always pass by his classroom in order to get to where I need to be. In the long first floor hallway, only his light is on this early in the morning. I always see him grade papers, set up the classwork for his first period, or work on his laptop. He also has a large amount of respect for his students, and is very patient with everyone. He simplifies all the topics of APUSH, and makes the class much easier for everyone. His teaching isn't boring, it's like hes telling a story, keeping me interested and excited to learn in his class. He puts in more effort than the students to provide us with the best material and information to excel in the class. He is a teacher every other teacher should strive to be. He truly deserves more than he is given.
