Señor Alan Baggaley, a Spanish teacher at NUAMES High School, is an unsung hero of his profession.

It would have been an English class like any other—write a paper, turn it in, get it back, put it in the waste bin, never learn a thing—but Professor Jane Brady made it the best class at BYU. First off, Jane was unconventional. She regularly invited students over to her house for dinners, and once […]
