"She tries to encourage us to work harder but she keeps it fun and she maintains a high energy in the classroom. She tries to keep everybody up instead of being down and making everything just hard," the 17-year-old says of his teacher. Many of Ms. Dominguez’s colleagues credit her with the improved math scores at the school. She is known for singing "Found a Peanut" to explain a method for factoring a polynomial.
