My teenage son learned so much and always enjoyed taking Mrs. Plaster‘s courses. Whether it’s Speech & Debate, Christian Worldview, American Literature or others, Mrs. Plaster creates an engaging and fun class where all students are inspired to work hard and think critically, with great memories made, too. Highly recommend!
