'I ur Job I or Students merely visit school. Teachers live it. In the following interview, Mr. Wayne Connoway of the English Department who has been teaching for ten years, and Mrs. Molly Radke of the Social Studies Department who has been teaching for one year, give candid opinions about Sammamish in specific and education in general. Interviewer: Comment on the quotation The students of Sammamish are passive freeloaders. Mr. Connoway: I think that is not an apt description of the students of Sammamish. I think it is a description of some stu- dents of every school that I have ever taught in, but I find enough active, inquisitive minds in my class that challenge me every single week. Mrs. Radke: I see some students in my class for whom that description would be accurate, but I'm not sure there are any- more here than at any other school. There are very brilliant students that I enjoy working with and they are not passive freeloaders. Interviewer: Would you comment on the student who takes three hours of shop, P.E. and mechanics courses, and does well in these, but constantly fails in academic courses he is required to take? Mr. Connoway: To often we think that success stems from the ability to read and write and that is really kind of tragic. But we've made it. The teachers have made it and the parents have made it and the American University system has made it, and it just so happens that Sammamish High School gears its success on how well the student reads and writes. I think my ability to read is pretty good, but I need a mechanic to fix my car. That statement makes us try to make all people alike, fit them into the same category of courses. Mrs. Radke: I suppose I fit into the American system in the sense that I feel that it is very important to learn to read and write well. I wish that the school provided more opportunities to help these people succeed in academic courses, rather than
