Stewart’s favorite teacher is Mr. Barner because he understands the material he is teaching and does his best to make class fun. His favorite class is a split between Calculus BC this year, because he finally started understanding math, and Algebra 1 in seventh grade, since it was online for Covid and he streamed Minecraft while Mrs. Cirulli taught.
