“I tell my students that I teach life skills. Reading and writing are skills we all must have if we are to be successful. To me, passing the STAAR ELA exam is a minimal standard for high school. I want my students to not only be successful this year but prepared for accomplishing in college or their chosen career, and well, for a lifetime!”
