Went from a D to an A by senester’s end.People also praised Hayer for his dedication as a student and a parent.@Original_Vaughn @Morehouse huge respect for the prof obviously but can we talk about the dad still showing up in the first place?! I wouldnt be who I am if it wasnt for my #publicschool educators that taught me how to think broadly and deeply.Alexander's gesture even inspired other professors to offer students help with childcare.@Original_Vaughn @Morehouse This is fabulous!!!
