(Photo by Bethe Ledbetter) Hey Dad, do I really have to do that assignment? What ' s on the test tomorrow, Mom? Is this really what went on with teachers who had immediate family members as students at Mater Dei? Mr. Frank Will, drivers-ed, physical ed- ucation teacher, and football coach, felt that his son Bryan had the same responsibility as any other student. He also mentioned, I try to treat the ordi- nary student as my own child. This might not always be best, but it is con- sistent. Coach Will ' s son was a freshman. John Sherman, the stepson of Mrs. Susan Brown, English and mechanical drawing teacher, explained how he felt about the discipline in class. I think my mom is fair to all students in her classes. In this type of situation, students being related to teachers, school life could have possibly caused a strain on home life and vice-versa. Rela- tionships involving school might have sometimes made home life more diffi- cult. Chemistry, physics teacher and soccer coach Mrs. Marie Hankins did not think so. She felt there was very little connection between the two. Her daughter Kim commented, It ' s about the same; she doesn ' t nag me to do homework much. She is not real strict in class with anyone, so it ' s about the same atmosphere as at home. How did a student who had a par- ent for a teacher address that parent in the classroom? The majori ty of the teachers said it did not matter just as long as it was respectful. The other teachers who are related to students at Mater Dei include: gov- ernment teacher, track and. cross country coach, and dean Mr. Herb Neighbors (son Mark, freshman), histo- ry teacher and wrestling coach Mr. Mike Goebel, (brother, Chris, fresh- man), Mr. Tom Dick, science teacher, (son, Kevin, senior), and band teacher Mr. Kurt Wambach, (brother Jon Wambach, senior). Senior Kevin Dick commented upon his relationship with his father. My father and I are close enough that our relationship changes very little between home and school. Although I do avoid dealing with him face to face because I find it hard being objective toward him, he said. So the next time you do something wrong in class and know your parents won ' t find out, be appreciative be- cause for some, that ' s not the case! — Marty May Relatively teaching
