Teacher switch: AP Sculpture and AP Physics (Seidel and Voth)

AP Sculpture teacher Jeff Seidel found himself paired with AP Physics teacher Michael Voth for the third teacher switch. (See video above to watch Voth as he receives his first lesson on the potter’s wheel.)

Seidel had an easier time.

“It was pretty comfortable for me, but I was originally a double-science major in biology and chemistry, and I loved physics when I was a kid,” Seidel said.

While physics may not be any new feat for Seidel, his return to the classroom as a student was an intriguing experience.

“I really had fun, it was interesting to sit back in a high school class again,” Seidel said. “I was a lot better behaved the second time around.”

The switch even allowed Seidel to gain perspective on both the student and teaching side of educating.

“Whenever I sit in as a student, I always watch the teacher and see things that they do that I like, that I can incorporate in my own classroom, and things that they do that kind of annoy me as a student,” he said.

Mackenzie Miller
Mackenzie Miller, Assistant Managing Editor
As a young child, Mackenzie Miller’s greatest aspiration was to become an astronaut. Unfortunately, her lack of life experience and general naivety prevented her from seeing that “astronaut” was really a dying career. Desperately trying to find new meaning in her life, Miller floated through her early years of schooling, seeking something to fill the void left by her prematurely crushed aerospace dreams.  Her existence finally became worthwhile upon joining the Red Ledger staff her senior year at Lovejoy High School. While soccer and her role as key club president had merely been ways to pass time in previous years, she found the meaning of life and the universe in newspaper. Miller is a genuine fan of all things Disney, especially The Little Mermaid, which she takes any chance to sing at the top of her lungs, and all things sweet. Devoting most of her conscious thinking power to cupcakes, Miller has little time for any other activities of merit. The sum of Miller’s existence, newspaper and cupcakes, nothing else.
