Benjamin – BURNET CISD (verified owner) –
The anecdotal knowledge of Mrs. Juntune’s family is helpful, but distracts a little from the service of current students. It creates a bit of skepticism that this information is solely based on research based practices and not of her own need to bend research data to the outcomes she is looking for.

I enjoyed it but I felt there was a lot of repetition in certain parts. I liked the examples but doing it online doesn’t give me the same resources as being in person.
