Teachers have been known for rivalries, friendships, and favorite students, but which one is the best? It all comes down to the students’ opinions. They will decide on the best teacher for each subject. As you may have read last month, the vote for “Best Social Studies Teacher” went to Mr. Salcedo! Now the science teachers will have their chance for victory. TMS’s science teachers are Mrs. Crippen, Mrs. Kocaya, Mrs. Calverly, Mrs. Vogt, Mrs. Newman, and Mr. Hinrichs. They will be competing for the title of “Best Science Teacher”!
These are the nine students we interviewed! Who do you think is the best teacher?
