Sharing My Own 9th Grade Experience - An Interview By Connor Miller: S6E1
Manage episode 373492535 series 3172388
It has taken over 100 episodes, but finally the tables have turned on me on my own podcast! Usually I am the one asking students, educators, and others about their time in the first year of high school, but on this episode, Emmaus High School student Connor Miller had the opportunity to ask me what it was like to be a 9th grader at Holy Ghost Prep in Bensalem, Pa., back in the 1990s.
We did this interview as part of a project in which he needed to find an expert in a field for his journalism class during the 2022-2023 school year.
He wanted to focus his podcast on podcasting and asked me to sit down with him and answer a few questions about my own 9th grade experience.
He was curious about class/school size, how I received extra help, the opportunities available to me and if I would go back to teach at my old high school. He did a great job getting me to reflect on parts of my own educational journey that I hadn't thought about in many years.
Hopefully this conversation shows that no matter when you attended high school that many of the issues students encounter as very similar.
