Algebra 2 with him is the best math class I've taken, and probably one of my favorite classes due to him. There's a lot of memorization to be done, especially since Alg 2 is one of the most important math classes you'd have to take in high school, but he posts a lot of study guides and supports on OneNote.

This man is a legend. Not only is he a former top chess player, but he's hilarious without being cringy or r/fellowkids, and he writes down his jokes of the day into OneNote (or at least he did when I had him). I love Mr. Van Dyke!
