Okay, I’ll admit this wardrobe match was not coincidental this time. This photo was taken on Twin Day, one of the campus dress-up days for Homecoming Week.

Nevertheless, it gives me a long-overdue opportunity to say wonderful things about Ms. Laila Kamel:

This is Laila’s third year teaching mathematics at Coppell High School, and her second year teaching AP Calculus BC with me. Not only that, but she has now partnered with me on the IB Mathematics team this year.

What makes this situation even more special is the fact that Ms. Kamel is a former student of mine, having endured my IB Math class in 2017. She graduated from CHS that same year.

Working with Laila in Calculus and IB Math is a truly wonderful experience. We have a lot of fun together, but we’re also equally serious about giving our students the best possible learning experience.

Watching Laila transition from a protégé to a natural leader has been an enjoyable experience. It’s comforting to know that whenever I decide to retire, the responsibilities of IB Math and BC Calc will fall into extremely capable hands.
