Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceA student who took my calculus class and passed the IB test, found out they made a perfect score on the AP exam as well and he called me during the summer to let me know he got the perfect score and he wanted to let me know that he changed his major to math after having my class!
What would you do with the $25,000?Honestly, I would definitely use some of it, but I would love too give more to the students.
