and I’m not just saying that. The only reason I got through that class at all is because I sat between the future valedictorian and the salutatorian and they were capable of teaching themselves out of the book, then passing it on to me. I was in this guy’s class for an entire year and about 6 months in, he said something, and everybody’s heads snapped up at once because it was the first thing he’d said all year that made sense.
