Mrs Porter taught honors english, writing and logical reasoning. She was brilliant, crisp and unwavering in her goal of developing students able to articulate an argument rhetorically. She would come to class in her pantsuit, hair in a bun, perfectly coiffed, appearing gentle and feminine. She would then proceed to mercilessly dismantle our arguments, critique our writing and make us start again, always with a twinkle in her eye. Her expectations for us were high and she taught in a way that made us want to reach her expectations.
