Barbara’s the real deal. Old-school, no shortcuts, and never afraid to tell you when you’re slippin’. You might not agree with her at first, but give it five minutes & you’ll realize she’s right, like she always is. She’s the kind of teacher that makes the rest of us raise our game. Total legend.

Mrs. Howard is like the North Star of Abbott. She’s steady, wise, and always knows exactly what to say especially when I’m overexplaining everything. Sometimes she can be a little intimidating, but honestly? That’s just excellence in action. She makes me want to be better like, Barbara-level better.

Barbara Howard? The Beyoncé of the teaching world minus the choreography. I respect her... mostly because even I know not to play with that woman. She’s all class, all authority, and somehow still manages to scare and inspire everyone at the same time. If Abbott had a throne, she’d already be sitting on it with pearls, of course.
