Farewell to Lerner, Scher, and Green - by Vinny T. '06

Many Magnet students are distraught as the end of this school year approaches. Not because there are finals, projects, tests before finals, or projects before projects, and definitely not because we are leaving school for summer, but because we are completely or partially losing three great teachers. Mr. Lerner, Ms. Scher, and Mrs. Green are all moving to the new Allied Health/AIT buildings and we students here at Magnet will hardly see them. Many say this is a tragedy, and I agree, but firmly believe these teachers will train the new Allied Health students to become top class surgeons or whatever they study for. This article is a tribute to our soon to be fallen soldiers.
Mr. Lerner, good old Mr. Lerner, no one can teach you to blow air into a dummy better. He is the ultimate health/fitness nut and if you need muscle you go see him. He does have one problem though, that diet coke he drinks isn’t good for him. Besides that I would say he’s in pretty good shape and could crush any two kids in this school at once. He will make the new students experts at First-Aid as I am, I actually saved someone’s life yesterday.
Ms. Scher will not go to bad use, I’m sure she will teach these kids everything they need to know about the Holocaust. Hopefully if a Holocaust speaker comes to the Allied Health building she doesn’t fall asleep though, I believed that happened here at Magnet but I’m not sure. I do have to say I recently took the SATs and never would have written such a good essay if it wasn’t for the essay writing skills given to me by Ms. Scher. She is a mix of friend and teacher and the jokes go along with it. Don’t challenge her she will make fun of you and win.
Last we have Mrs. Green. I never had Mrs. Green and don’t know much about her so I went into her classroom and asked her some dumb questions. I still don’t know much about her but I did learn she is a very nice lady and she may be blamed too much but it isn’t her fault she teaches AP Bio. She told me she was a fair teacher and I believe it but she still will teach one class at Magnet luckily. She seems like an AP Bio master and I wish I had her. Just from the minute I talked to her I’m going to miss her.
Any teachers I missed I’m sorry, I was assigned these three in specific. Farewell to you teachers, I am a better person because of all of you. Keep me in mind when you teach those new students, and I along with others will visit you again in the future, most likely next September.<3
