I could go on and on about what I learned in this class. Every topic had something new to offer. Mr. Jones kept the class interesting by showing numerous films that were related to the topic we were discussing at that time. Also, the segregation assignment was very out of the ordinary. I’ve never experienced anything like that, and seeing the difference between a black school and a white school through your own eyes really makes you appreciate what you have now.”
Dennis Davis II former student
“Another of Michael’s strengths was his deep concern for his students. Michael was concerned about his students academic and personal growth…I feel Michael will be a very good addition to any school faculty. His dedication, enthusiasm, and teaching ability, lead me to believe Michael will be a successful teacher.”
