What makes a good teacher?
The first thing that makes a
good teacher is that he/she has
a good character and a good
personality. A good teacher
needs values, for being a good
teacher it’s necessary to like
children and young people. Of course it’s very important that a good teacher is competent about what
she/he’s teaching. A good teacher must love learning because that’s a lifelong duty for everyone.
A good teacher should be patient and polite. And I could tell you hundreds and hundreds of things.
But personality and being a role model is always important.
What was your best experience with students?
I can’t tell you any story. It’s always very interesting. Some students come back to see the school and
tell the teachers about their experiences. We learn a lot from them and they help us to stay up to date.
How can you remember all the kids’ names?
I think the schoolhouse is only a building. Without the children it wouldn’t be anything and most
important are the children. I walk through the building and I try to connect the names and the faces.
It’s not easy because, meanwhile, people grow and some faces change a lot and some of them don’t.
Do you enjoy teaching students?
Yes. I’m sorry that I’m not teaching students but the school is big and I can´t manage both.
What’s the biggest change in the school since you’ve been here?
A school is like a living thing. We did a lot of renovations like we changed the toilets. It’s necessary because
the building is getting older. We are still a Catholic school and our job is still the same; to teach
and make students ready for life. And I wish to continue what the first schoolmaster, Mr. Brychta,
built up.
When did the school start?
In September 1995 the school started under the name O.M.E school.
When and where did you start teaching students?
I began to teach in September 1979 in Tirol, Austria, in a small village.
Did you always want to be a teacher?
Yes. I knew that I’m going to be a teacher since I was 10 years old. And I never had a doubt about it.
But I worked not just as a teacher.
Do you support the students to make the OME Magazine?
Yes, I do
Do you read the OME Magazine?
Every time there’s an OME Magazine I read it, more than once even, and I show it to everyone because
I’m very proud of it. I’m one of the biggest OME Magazine fans.:)
Thank you for the interview.
You´re welcome!
