Lea Sanon’s family came here from the West African country of Burkina Faso two years ago. She appears in Scott’s Quadratic Formulatic video. “Before the video, I didn’t remember the quadratic formula. But right after he made the video and I listened to it once, I did remember everything," she says. "It is stuck in my head. It is kind of fun at the same time. I get to use in my Algebra II class right now.”
Abdullah Ibrahim, who immigrated from Iraq last year, says Scott makes math easy for him. “When I first came here, I was really bad in math," he admits. "After practicing with Mr. Scott, I mean thanks God. Now he decided [picked] me to go to honors [program] in the summer. I am doing well. So I am really proud of myself."
More than a teacher
Blair High School principal Renay Johnson is a big supporter. She even appears in Scott’s latest video, "Undefined Expressions".
“Mr. Scott is very motivating and engaging for students," Johnson notes. "He enjoys what he does. As you know he engages students and mathematics through music. But he is also our wrestling coach. He also sponsors National Honor Society. And he is also a director of after school sports academy. I am lucky to have him here as a teacher.”
Scott was recognized as an outstanding educator last year by the Montgomery County Council. He was also honored as 2011 teacher of the year by an African-American civil rights organization.
