As students, we spend the majority of our time sitting in classes listening to teachers. Whether we listen to encouragement, rants or the occasional disciplinary reprimands, we listen to teachers a lot.
But do teachers always actually mean what they say?
Ms. Campuzano
Ms. Campuzano teaches Spanish II-III, with students ranging from freshmen all the way to seniors.
Teaching a Spanish class, you would think having to do work in Spanish would be common sense, according to Ms. Campuzano that is unfortunately not the case.
One of Ms. Campuzano’s most used phrase is “Can you please wait a minute?”
When in reality, she just needs a break and would like students to leave her alone and get away from her desk for a moment.
Apparently students here at North spend too much time at their teachers desks because that feeling is mutual among other teachers like Coach Taylor.
Coach Taylor
Coach Taylor is a defensive coach for our Edmond North football players as well as an Oklahoma History teacher for freshmen.
One thing that Coach Taylor wishes he could say to his students is to simply, “Leave my class.”
But can we blame him? We all know freshmen are pretty needy.
Coach Taylor would like his freshmen to be independent and do their work, and he isn’t the only one who wishes students would stay on task.
Mrs. Hopper
Mrs. Hopper teaches sophomore IA and on level English II and finds the biggest distraction in her classes are games on chromebooks.
Although her gentle reminders are polite, what she really wishes she could say is, “The game you are playing on your chromebook is not more important than your future!”
Although students can get on the nerves of their teachers, or have a lack of common sense at times, teachers at Edmond North truly do care about their students.
Mr. Majors
For example, Mr. Majors, who teaches English II and World History for sophomores, welcomes every student who walks through his door with a smile and encouragement.
His encouragement and smile is mostly just relief that they at least showed up to class that day.
Next time you’re in class, try staying on task and not bugging your teacher. There’s only a few more weeks of school left, so your teachers may not have as much patience to cover up what they really mean.
