 Ella Murray – Creative Writing Club: Teacher Interview – Mr. Schneider 

 

Give us a sketch of your life. - Robert Wesley Schneider better known as Mr. Schneider at W-C was born on March 7, 1965. When he graduated from high school, instead of going to college, he went to London and lived in a few countries before coming back to the US. He then did not start college until he was 30 going to the University of Orgon, Southern Illinois University, and University of Missouri-Kansas City.  Mr. Schneider met his husband in 1991 in France and they then got married in Massachusetts in 2011. They have two kids, Mikael born in 2002, and Dominic born in 2003 and they moved to Rochester, NY in July 2006 when his husband got a job at RIT. 

Why did you decide to become a teacher? - Mr. Schneider says the biggest reason he wanted to become a teacher was because, “I wanted to be there for the students who needed to be heard and supported because I didn’t have that in high school”. 

Why did you want to work at Wheatland? - Mr. Schneider started working at Wheatland after getting displaced from a school in the city that he loved. The stress was a lot after this so he applied to Wheatland and got hired. He then loved the students here and wanted to stay. 

What other schools have you worked at? How many? - Mr. Schneider used to teach College Writing and intro to Psychology at Southern Illinois University. He also taught Honors English in New Hampshire for a year. Lastly, before Wheatland, he taught in the city of Rochester for 7 years. 

Give me a surprising fact about you. - A surprising fact about Mr. Schneider is that he was an extra in the horror/comedy movie, “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” in 1978. The movie is about “oozing tomatoes going on a rampage splattering innocent victims.” You should definitely add that movie to your watchlist. 

Give us some of your interests – sports, music, etc. - Some of Mr. Schneider’s interest are traveling, cooking, having dinner parties with good friends, and hanging out with his family in Provincetown. Some of his favorite things are Egyptian and Ethiopian food, his favorite color is purple, favorite movie is The Breakfast Club, his favorite holiday is New Year's, and his favorite book is Home at the End of the World.

Many of their losses have come from goals against them in the second period. There are many successful returning top scorers such as Roope Hintz, Tyler Seguin, Jason Robertson, and Joe Pavelski.
