First, she had this way of making her students feel ignorant. From the very first day of class Mrs. Garvin seemed to be very rude and abrupt. When a student feels uncomfortable and threatened it is very hard for one to learn in this kind of environment. I was scared to raise my hand and ask questions because she seemed to talk down at you and she made you feel like an idiot for even asking a question.
