Math!

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Mrs. Scraggs has the ability to effectively teach the content to ALL of her students, taking into account the many different challenges each individual student has. She is supportive, encouraging, and stern, earning her the respect of the students, parents, and her colleagues! Her ''we work until the bell!" motto makes her endearing to everyone and keeps the students on task, making the most of every minute with her. Her greatest accomplishment, in my eyes, has been her impact on my son, Liam. Math has always been his most challenging class throughout school. He is now entering his Junior year and he can proudly say how confident he is in Mrs. Scraggs' classes and that he actually LOVES Math. Mrs. Scraggs is a miracle worker. Strong, smart, inspiring. We felt we had to recognize her for everything she does. Thank you!

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

Her commitment to truly educating her students, not by making it easier for them, but by challenging them.
