Ms Batallas is one of the few teachers students go to, whether it's for help on their homework, with their family lives, or social lives. No matter the cause, she's always there. We all feel we can tell her anything, and trust her 110%. Taking her out of the school isn't going to make any improvements. Some people trust her more than the guidance councilors, because she understands more. There are other classes that could go. People use her class period to do work, and sometimes they use it to take a break with school and chill out for a bit, then go right back to work after the period's over. Ms Batallas is one of the best teachers, in my opinion, and does way too much for us to be let go. Even though we're going up to high school next year, Ms Batallas has made such a big difference in our of our lives, we want her to stay for the current and future middle school students. -Class of 2016
