Bonnie: Rob just gave us a course on knowing people's names, what else comes to mind for you? Bonnie: Just last night, my college son zoomed with me because he had a math question. He was talking about his professor and he said, Mom, I think I'm going to make it in this class. She says her son is even more motivated now to work harder because he knows this teacher cares and believes in him.
