- Reviewed by Former Student on September 03, 2009
- Rating:
(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Graduate of the Class of 84. I didn't learn to subtract anything with multiple zeros on top until I got to 9th. grade in Mrs. Leppla's class. She was the first teacher who ever took the time to pay close attention to my lack of skills.
