Friends of Jean McRobert say she never liked the limelight, but her accomplishments as a teacher put her in it.
Jean taught at London South C.I., where she was also department head. She had a reputation for being a great teacher who was a stickler for detail, particularly in geometric proofs. It’s noteworthy that two of her students who have had impressive careers are Dr. Ralph Stanton, and Brock Rachar, another Descartes medallist.
