Sarah Stafford is an amazing teacher in so many ways. She walks around and is always offering help, showing us how to do the problem and guiding us in the notes. She has been very helpful preparing us for STAAR and making sure everybody gets their work done. There is no sleeping even though her classroom has a sleepy vibe.
She always gives us snack options and great selections for choosing. She gives us these semi-big work packages that get us through the week and she hands out a new one every week.
Ms. Stafford helps me so much to get my grades up and passing, even taking all our late work past the deadline to help us improve our grade because that’s the type of teacher she is. She helps so much to make sure as long as you try she will help you.
And co-teacher Marti Purcell helps even more. She walks around during notes to see if you’re doing them and is always willing to help.
Mrs. Stafford and I always play around and joke everyday, that’s what makes it fun. It’s not just straight Algebra.
I have tons of friends in her class, which makes it even more fun. Sergio Pineda and I always mess with her until she gets mad. We used to sit next to each other until we got separated, but her class is always so fun she always doing something funny. I was failing her class for a little time, but she was always there and helping so I appreciate her.
