Ms. Mengual is the type of teacher who really makes a difference. She’s consistent, fair, and treats everyone with respect. You can tell she puts effort into planning her lessons because everything is clear and well-organized. That makes it easier to stay focused and actually understand what we’re learning. She has high expectations for us, but in a good way. She believes we’re capable of doing well, even when we doubt ourselves. Instead of letting us give up, she motivates us to keep trying. That pushes me to work harder and take pride in my work
