I count Mr. Lapuz as one of my best teachers I've had in my life. He always makes class fun with his personal domain, having fun with us as we do our work. His classroom is organized and welcoming, making it feel safe to learn in. While we talk and laugh all the time in class, we always get our work done, with most, if not all people get A's and B's. He always celebrates our accomplishments, and talks to us personally if he sees us struggle. He makes it easy to talk to him, listening to us without interrupting. At the beginning of the school year, I was a lot more shy and talked quietly, and he helped me become less shy, resulting in me talking to a girl who is now my best friend. Mr. Lapuz is the best math double accelerated teacher I could've gotten, and I'm grateful for what he's done for our school/class!
