Mr. Ivey is rude. He has a fake front. I used to think he was nice and understand, but he is not. He pretends to be nice to you and as soon as he steps away he starts whispering to other class mates and co workers about you and making fun of your disability. Via email he is extremely rude. Also fails you for all assignments if anything is day late.
