Day.

Mrs. Schnirel: I do like that there is some flexibility like seeing classes
faster or seeing multiple at once.

Mrs. Schnirel: No, I did not always want to be a teacher.

Zoey Marie: What secrets are in the teachers’ lounge?
Mrs. Schnirel: Usually, there’s chocolate.

Mrs. Schnirel: Oh, what if you don’t like video games?
Silas P: THEN YOU’RE AN INSANE MONSTER THAT EVERYONE HATES.
Mrs. Schnirel: Does just dance count?
Zoey Marie: Yes.

Zoey Marie: What do you do in your spare time?
Mrs. Schnirel: Would it be surprising to say I like to read? My son plays baseball and we see him play. My daughter is really into musicals.

Zoey Marie: How old is your daughter?
Mrs. Schnirel: She is almost 18.

Zoey Marie: How long have you been teaching in general?
Mrs. Schnirel: This is year 20 for me, so 20 years.

Zoey Marie: Do you appreciate working with students?

Zoey Marie: In what way would you like a part of your job to change?
Mrs. Schnirel: There is a pillar in the library that really annoys me. The rest of the library is fine, but if that one pillar would go, everyone would be able to see.

Zoey Marie: On August 18th, 1986, John Bebebebe went missing. Does this sound familiar to you?
