The only negative thing I would have to say about the class is the kind of kids taking it. The classes she teaches are basically non-college preparatory versions of regular math classes like Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, etc. I personally took the lower level class so I could feel more relaxed and have less math homework because I already have enough other homework, but for most people taking the class, that's not their reason. Around 85% of the kids are the trouble maker type and can be very distracting when trying to focus and learn. On a positive note, if you are simply just compliant and you show that you're trying and you aren't rude and don't interrupt, you'll be well liked in the class since the bar is set low. As far as the actual class material, I absolutely love the curriculum she uses. She even puts her students in her word problems and makes sure by the end of the year that she's included everyone! The methods she uses to teach is very engaging and I personally love the class, just maybe not the kids in it.
