“He’s honest. He doesn’t keep anything back. He’s my favorite teacher and I never really liked history. He can take you away from the curriculum and the book and tell you how it is. He’s not biased—he tells you to interpret things your own way. He said he’d treat everyone like they were honors students. When you have someone tell you you’re an honors student, that’s enough.
