awful, awful! My 3 year old girl's teacher was Sandra. I heard that many kids had left because of her, but I wanted to give it a try, thinking that each parent has a different preference and priority. Now I see why they left. As a parent, i feel terrible that I made the poor decision to put my girl to Sandra's class.
