Students and teachers switch roles

Mackenzie Miller, Staff Reporter

Students think teachers have it easy; teachers, while grading stacks of papers and trying to maintain students’ attention, probably think just the opposite. The Red Ledger put this theory to the test and asked teachers to switch roles, allowing them to catch a glimpse of what it’s like to be back on the pupils’ side of the classroom, and experience the teaching styles of other staff members at the school.

About the Contributor

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.
