Reviews
Best teacher ever
I was lucky enough to have Beth Feret as my teacher twice. Freshman and Senior year of high school. She is the kind of teacher to make you feel safe and heard. She taught me a new way of analyzing while reading. There are still discussions of short stories I think about from her class, 9 years later. She taught us to "fail with dignity." I cannot say enough good things about her as a teacher and a person. I truly could not have asked for a better teacher to start and end high school with.
