'Gentle Giant' helps students reach goals Often known as the Gentle Giant because of his size l6'll l, Doug Futch enjoys working with students and helping them achieve their goals. I want to be the best teacher I can become. Not only do I want to be a good teacher, I want to help students achieve their goals. Futch said. I I care for students. Also, I have a good 'knowledge of computers and math because I . have kept up with my own education. he said. i That might be an understatement consid- lering the fact that Futch had returned to school ,and received his master's degree from North Texas, and is presently working on graduate- ilevel courses at Texas Woman's University. The graduate-level courses are a part of the requirement to receive his mid-management lcertification. A person must obtain a mid- ,management certificate in order to become an ladministrator. , I have to complete 45 hours on different 5: Q 1 -uv lu' ' .N s I ' ' r fri phrases of the job like school law and theory, he said. I started last fall and hopefully will be finished by the summer of 1989 Aside from his teaching load at Richland and his coursework at TWU, Futch also teaches at TCJC, This constant demand on his time has taught him much about time-management. UI try to organize my study habits so I still have time for my family, he said. I study a lot on the weekends. Acknowledging his sense of humor, Futch tells a story about what he did to his first period French teacher during his high school days. I had an older sister who told me that my French teacher was very scared of mice. As a joke, she told me I should play a joke on her, Futch said. Everyday the teacher would pull out a tape recorder from the closet, unwrap the cord and plug it in. We would then listen to an entire hour of French. f -Q- 'iOne morning I sneaked into class early and put a rubber mouse in the cord of the tape machine. When she unwrapped the cord, the mouse fell to the floor. I got up in front of the class and said , 'Oh, you found my mousell and put it back in my pocket. The teacher was very frantic about the whole situation. Even as a 6' 10 senior in high school, he was 'Lscared to death of teachers, Since then, he says there has been a noticeable difference in the way students treat teachers. Students are not taking full advantage of the opportunities they have in school, The general attitude of students is not to take education seriously. They have a tendency to loaf, he said. Nevertheless, Futch will continue to try to get his message across, I love the sparkle in their eyes when they grasp a concept, I love students and helping them learn. Daniel Gray.
