I went to Timpview High School last week. I thought Mr. Valora was pretty good. The thing I liked most about him was the way he treated not the students that were listening to class but how he treated the one who wasn't. He had a student that was doing horrible in his class and he told me that he took him aside and he made a plan with him to get him back on track. He didn't just decide to fail him which the kid probably deserved, but he decided to give him a second chance and try to help him get a passing grade.

It sounds like Mr. V. did what all good teachers should do - practice a nurturing pedagogy (PEEP).
