    Nicole2010 replied to RutterMama's topic in General Students

  16. Spinning my wheels?

    Nicole2010 replied to Shalai's topic in General Students

    My school is like that as well. Our teacher "teaches" what she has learned in the field and not necessarily from the book. I feel like I'm remebering double the information,1. to pass the tests in...
