Huber's Big Move!


Story and Photo by Peyton K. 

This month I interviewed Mr. Huber in his new room. I also interviewed Ms. Buechler on how she feels about Mr. Huber's move since she has been in the same hallway with him for her years of teaching at YMS. 

Starting with Mr. Huber's interview: Because Mr. Huber now teaches 8th graders I asked him how he felt about that, Mr. Huber does enjoy teaching 8th graders and he believes that they are easier to talk with. Mr. Huber also believes that 8th graders have stronger opinions on different topics in history. They were currently learning about the industrial and economic growth from 1865 through 1914. Moving on to the room itself, I asked how he liked it, Mr. Huber said it's a lot different from his old room and smaller. But a pro to the room is his hall mates. Mr. Huber said that he likes all the great teachers in the hallway which makes it better. His favorite part of the room was that he's right next to the water fountain and doesn’t have to walk to the end of the hallway like in his old classroom. On the bright side of teaching 8th graders, Mr. Huber is excited to teach the Cold War. But on the other hand, he isn’t very excited to teach the late 90s. Mr. Huber feels it wasn’t a very interesting time period and not a very positive time. And if you know Mr. Huber personally, you know he's a very happy person. As our interview came to an end, Mr. Huber wanted everyone to know that his room is always open to talk, and history is the best subject.


Moving forward to Ms. Buechler's interview with her opinion for how she felt about the new arrangement. I asked her how she felt about Mr. Huber's big move and because Mrs. Anderson took his old room she missed not being next door to her. But most cons come with pros, she was happy to be friends with Mr. Hohn. Ms. Buechler also did miss Mr. Huber, and Ms. Savey. The three teachers used to be called the North Wing legends, and that was sadly broken with both teachers moving. I asked her if she could have anyone move into Mr. Huber's room, who would it be and why. She chose Mrs. Blaha because they're friends, and it would be nice for a few reasons. Ms. Buechler likes social studies and she enjoys the fact of more female teachers in the same hallway. Next I asked if she liked who was in Mr. Huber's old room. Ms. Buechler and Mrs. Anderson have a long connection, Mrs. Anderson taught Ms. Buechler and they still talk a lot. I asked her how she planned to talk to Mr. Huber and if it would result in more or less communication. Ms. Buechler said it would likely be less just because of distance but it's also just harder to see him because of different subjects and now grades. She also said that she would talk to him through the teacher group chat and after school with Mrs. Anderson. At the end she just wanted to remind everyone that even though we had teachers leave there are now two new teachers in the 6th and 7th grade and come say hi!
