Alexandra – LA VILLA ISD (verified owner) – October 8, 2022

Some of the language used by presenter can be constructed as condescending to population who is not GT. I can see she is extremely knowledgeable in her field but needs to refine her vocabulary when presenting (She called an idea stupid without realizing who could she be offending)
