Student
teachers come and go from Monroe, but some stay
in our hearts. In Mrs. Earley’s class
this semester, Mr. Baer
is teaching social studies and psychology. I
personally have known Mr. Baer for quite some
time now, and I would have to say he is one
of the most inspirational up-andcoming teachers
yet. I recently just had a quick sitdown with
Mr. Baer and asked him a few questions to find
out more about his preferences, past, and future.
Q:So,
Mr. Baer, where did you go for college?
A:Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
Q:Where did you go to high school?
A:Fairfield. I played varsity soccer and played
for an indoor team named the “Stingbears.”
Q:What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
A:Normal things that any man would. Playing
soccer, getting hair done, taking long walks
along the beach, you know, the usual.
Q:What do you do here at Monroe?
A:I was the assistant soccer coach for the boys’
varsity soccer team, and I work with Young Life.
Q:Speaking of Monroe, what do you think of the
facilities here?
A:I think that Monroe is a gorgeous environment
to work in with a great faculty and students.
Q:Who is your favorite teacher here?
A:Mrs. Earley, she has been a pleasure to work
with.
Q:When you get your teaching license, what would
you like to teach?
A:I would love to teach American History and
take Mr. Phillips’ job, just kidding.
Q:Why history?
A:I believe that history is most relevant to
our daily lives than other subjects.
Q:Who is your favorite person in history?
A:Winston Churchill because he was a great leader
and an inspiration to many different countries.
Throughout my years of schooling I have always
remembered one quote by him, “History
will be kind to me for I intend to write it.”
Q:If you could live in any time period, which
would it be and why?
A:The 2050’s. I can’t even begin
to imagine the technology that will be available
to us. And I expect Joe Irwin and Cameron Tolliver
to become the President and Vice President,
and have me in the Cabinet.
Q:What is your favorite candy?
A:Snickers.
Q:What is your favorite kind of music?
A:Any sort or form of rock.
Q: Who’s your favorite band?
A:There are too many, and I’m too prideful
to pick just one.
Q: Who’s your favorite student at Monroe?
A:Joe Irwin?
