Now from a teacher’s point of view, math teacher Jacob Kellert gave his time to describe the way he knows Shayla. He said, “She cares so much about her students. She stays at the school late at night, on weekends for her students especially the ones that struggle.”  Kellert described how she has influenced his teaching. Saying, “She gives a lot of positive energy and encouragement in her teaching and she doesn’t make things easier such as a test and work sheets, she just works harder and leaves the test at the same level.”
