“Each day, I spend two math class periods with Mr. Rice, and every day his abounding intelligence<br />

kindles my flirtations with Math. His explanations of the “why” and of the “what” provided me with a<br />

whole new perspective and understanding of his lessons. There’s also no way we could let Pi Day pass<br />

without properly celebrating the fun Pi Day festivities! Mr. Rice’s classes have revived my passion for<br />

math, and I look forward to these class periods every day. His class is by no means one in which I was<br />

handed everything wrapped in a pretty gift bow, but instead I found myself with both the freedom and the<br />

responsibility to take care of my own work. He sacrifices his own convenience for his consideration for<br />

his students’ unforeseen obstacles in their schedules, so he established a lenient homework schedule<br />

that often left him with 900+ DyKnow slides of homework to grade on quiz days. Best of all, Mr. Rice<br />

treats his students as competent adults. Thank you, Mr. Rice, for all that you have taught me.”
