100 Holy Cow! You should be teaching this class.

90Wow! You had two really great things to say.

80Good. I'm glad you brought up your one comment.

70You spoke up, but maybe you should have paid better attention to the text.

APS info

Ms. Humphrey, I am a former Fellow of the Yale National Initiative (2005, 2006). We tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to establish an Institute here in Jacksonville. It was a great disappointment that my district decided not to go forward. Your unit looks very interesting and engaging. I am certain to make use of it!
