The Best of Both Worlds
My passion in education has always been geared towards the social sciences. I took AP Psychology with Ms. Weinhold. I had never had a teacher like her before. She was so engaged in her lessons and did everything and anything to help her students succeed. However, when it came down to the difficult stuff, she was brutal. She knew what each student was capable of and pushed them to their full potential. She was the best teacher I’ve ever had because she pushed me to reach my potential. She was tough but she was clearly the best of both worlds.
Bobby Joe Burnout
Mr. Gounaris was my eighth grade English teacher. The entire year all we did was talk about theme. I felt like I didn’t learn anything. The weirdest part about him was his method. He would record over good songs, classic songs, and destroy them with pointless lyrics and scratchy voiceovers. Mr. G would say that a pseudo artist named “Bobby Joe Burnout” recorded the songs while we had to figure out the theme of each musical train-wreck. I swear, I learned nothing of substance that year in English. He was clearly the worst teacher I’ve ever had.
