About me & this class:
I grew up in Augusta, attended Butler High School, Class of '98, and went to Augusta University. I taught for 20 years in Richmond County before teaching at GTHS. I have three kids, one grandson (who is the best!), one husband, and two dogs.
My goal is for your student to learn, read better, write better, and communicate better by the end of my class. However, my goal is not to entertain them, compete with with TikTok, or be their friend.
My class will be welcoming, sometimes engaging and interesting, and always working. If your child has a missing grade in Infinite Campus, the work was not turned it.
Favorite Quotes from VP Allen:
"The gradebook can't give credit to work it never received."
"Grades don't surprise students; they report habits."
"Correction is always taken personally when accountability is unfamiliar."
"Correction is not punishment; correction is guidance. Expectations are preparation."
