Lucy and Leslie's interview with Mrs.Mateling.

Mrs.Mateling: The most saddest situation that I have encountered while teaching would have to be seeing a student have an "A" on their Report Card and then it changed to a "F".
Lucy and Leslie: Do you think that anything should be changed at any middle schools?
Mrs.Mateling: Yes I do think somethings should be changed in Middle schools, I think that the teachers should have a heart for the children and teens and that the teachers should have a most positive attuide torwards kids.
Lucy and Leslie: What do you think is the most exciting moment while teaching at school?
Mrs.Mateling: The most exciting time would have to be 5th Grade Graduation.

Mrs.Mateling: I would describe my life very exciting and intresting.
Lucy and Leslie: What do you think about the murder on the news?
Mrs.Mateling: I think it was horrific and scary.
Lucy and Leslie: How would you describe Saddam?
Mrs.Mateling: I would describe Sadaam as rude,stupid,mean,killer, and Hitler #2.
Lucy and Leslie : If you were face-to-face with Osama or Saddam what would you do?
Mrs.Mateling: I would want them to have the most severe of punishments because I am such a hawk.
Hi Lucy,
This is a great interview! It is particularly relevant because I am studying to be a middle school teacher. When I graduate and start working in a middle school, I hope to be the kind of teacher that Ms. Matling describes. I want to be a teacher that is interested and interesting and who cares about her students learning. I also agree that one of the saddest things a teacher can experience is seeing an A student fail.
I have really learned many new things while communicating with you and your class. I hope you learned as much as I did; next year should be even better. I'm sorry that I have not had a lot of time to write lately, but the time I did get to write was well worth the effort because I learned so much from all of you.
Have a great summer and hopefully we can do this again next year.
Take care,
Julie
