And Edith is a one-of-a-kind student. She is a kind-hearted student who likes to look out for others. She likes she works hard and she likes to be challenged. And when she is done with any work, she will always ask what is next. Edith makes teaching easy. If I can say that, I can teach a lesson and she has the ability to let me know if she understands it or if I need to go over it again. With that, she can also tell her fellow classmates that they need to listen because I already explained the lesson again.

And what I mean by that is the speaker was talking about possible employees or teachers could use it if they want to help develop lesson plans, uh go through certain things in the curriculum, it could help them as a tool. However, when it comes to students, my personal opinion is I just don't know you know, it's like anything else.
