I agree! Best teacher ever!!!

Best teacher in America!!!

Mr. Donner cares about the subjects he teaches, so it is a shame he doesn't care more about his students. However, he does explain materials well and provides cool ways to remember information. The videos and anecdotes he shares keep you on the edge of your seat! That's why it's such a shame his--how do I put this gracefully--bitter attitude ruins his classes. My friend had a medical emergency and was stuck in the hospital for the first week of school, but she was responsible enough to email him from the hospital. She asked what she missed. He never cared enough to respond! She was stuck in class, confused and left to figure out everything on her own. Throughout the semester, he proceeded to be unkind towards her without reason in many minor and a few major ways. For instance, one day, he placed a test on everyone's desk or handed it to them. At least, he did that for everyone other than one person. For my friend, he hurled the test her way. It missed her desk, but he never apologized. Another time, she asked Mr. Donner if she could go to the bathroom, and he breathed "Yeah" without even making eye contact with her. He even tried to gaslight her into believing a course she did not really need was required...but that's a story for another time. Furthermore, he gaslit me about deadlines, probably forgetting what he had said, and deducted a bunch of points from several assignments I had poured hours into. He would also always call out this one kid during class and even said that they were his least favorite student of all time--in front of everyone. Mr. Donner is one rude dude. For your own good, please try to avoid classes with him, unless you're really talented in the subject he teaches and--to be blunt--know how to be a teacher's pet. To reiterate, Mr. Donner's lectures are outstanding. Any aspect of his teaching that requires compassion...has room for improvement.

Okay, I would hate to disrespect a teacher, so I am going to be as charitable as possible. I read his lawsuit (Englerth v. Penfield Cent. School District). It's not some deep dark secret; it just seems a bit stupid because he fell during a storm, so it obviously wasn't the school's fault. He lost anyway. The case is irrelevant to his capability as a guidance counselor. Unfortunately, Mr. Englerth clearly has some failings as a guidance counselor. He consistently judged someone based on the fact that they came from a (somewhat) broken family by implying they shouldn't take as many advanced classes as other kids because they wouldn't be able to handle it. That is unfair. The kid had a 98+ unweighted GPA. It seems like they were doing just fine--until he pushed them towards thinking something was wrong with them. I know they could have just ignored him, but they were probably young and impressionable and already dealing with a lot at home, so they really took his words to heart. Besides, guidance literally is in his job title...he should know how to give it--especially after having over a decade of experience and working with kids in other ways (i.e. raising two sons, coaching several girls and boys basketball teams). I've heard multiple others speak about Mr. Englerth making other unjustified assumptions and offering less-than-stellar advice, so honestly, I can't say this story surprises me.

Rampaging, ruthless Ricci!
