Q: is Mr. Escalante a good teacher?
A: I think Mr. Escalante is a good teacher, and even though his teaching style isn't exactly my preference as I prefer more gentle and building up ways of teaching, he is very charismatic and is successful in inspiring his students. He also stays strong when his students and him are accused of cheating, and lets his work with the children in his class show for itself when they all retake the exam. One example is when he lines his classroom up and has them recite answers, and when he dresses up on the first day of school. Using these unique teaching methods inspired his students.
