Mr. Rose: Seeing the results as students meet adulthood and the challenges of life. Interviewer: What would you like your students to learn? Mr. Jarnecke: I'd like for them to learn to be able to think, accept responsibility, be dependable. Many of these items you'll note are items that are not tied in with a world history course or a math course; they're just simply tied in with the fact of life, and if students can learn these things, then I think we've accomplished a pretty important goal. Interviewer: What would you like your students to learn? Mr. Rommelmann: Oh, I think respect for their fellow man, and that there's a world outside the town of Kouts. .. become a teacher?’ Interviewer: Why did you become a teacher? Mrs. Adams: I think because I enjoy working with young people and because it did give me the same kind of schedule as the rest of my family has. Interviewer: What have you learned from your students?' Mrs. Adams: ... that they aren't alike, they'll learn different things at different times. Things that you expect somebody to be able to catch, somebody else will do it instead. Basically, they're all a good bunch of kids. I've learned a great deal about people and how people react to each other. Interviewer: What do you like best about teaching? Mr. Briars: Watching children. Girls and boys who work on up from first grade all the way on to their Senior year are gaining some type of success. ’What.. . you like best?’ Interviewer: Why did you be- come a teacher? Mrs. Cunningham: Because I really wanted to work with students, mostly, and be- cause teaching is different everyday-never the same. Interviewer: What do you like best about teaching? Miss Dittmer: The challenges. Interviewer: What would you like your students to learn? Miss Dittmer: ' . . . Well not to be naive, to recognize when they're being used, temperment, deceptions, that they have power, and that I'm not being naive. Interviewer: What would you like your students to learn. Mrs. Drazer: ... to find a place for himself in our civilization or in our world, to be well adjusted, happy and be able to show some leadership.” ’What .. students learn?’ Interviewer: What have you learned from you students? Mrs. Drazer: I've learned so many things from my stu- dents, there isn't a day I don't learn something. My students have taught me that you can't judge by what they tell you and by what they know. Interviewer: What would you like your students to learn? Mr. Drazer: I think that what I teach them is they have to learn something practical, something they can take home and use after they get out of high school since its a vocational class. Why, I think they should learn something of skills and some ideas that they can use either in farming or something related to farm- ing . . . . responsibility .. Interviewer: What have you learned from your students?11 Mrs. Elder: Sometimes that I'm not always right, some- times the kid who looks like he's guiltiest is sometimes most innocent-1 ike every- body picks on him.
