Johnathan Wells Kellogg, better known as Mr. Kellogg, teaches English, Leadership, and Video Games as Literature. The last two courses, unsurprisingly, are popular classes that people are fond of. His highest degree is a Master's, which he is understandably very proud of. This is his fourth year teaching, yet he has been in his current classroom for three years, with his first classroom being Mrs. Morales’s room.

Kellogg's room is fantastically decorated with copious amounts of comics, video games, and other random items. A main decorative item is his overly large Tony the Tiger cutout standing up in the dastardly left corner, where I sat for the majority of the first semester of my freshmen year. Regarding decor, he said, “I just have a lot of things, mainly surrounded by my interest. And kids can daydream about my interest ." When asked who he was most fond of and looked up to growing up, and where he drew inspiration for his classroom, he very generously thought of his mother to best fit that description. He said that he was not always the best student, and he always felt trapped. That is why he put his freshmen year report card on the back wall, along with a lot of gag and game posters-- just a lot to look at while you work. He seemed to like to describe his room as a hodgepodge, since there is just so much all around. None of it is really the same, though there may be similarities.

When asked how he thinks students feel in class he stated that they feel “Safe, wanted, not a feeling of entrapment.” These are good descriptive words for a man of his profession. For my final drab question for this poor man, I asked If he is trying to have an effect on his students through his decor. He said, with the utmost wisdom in his eyes, that he was trying to impact them, and that he wanted his students to “feel safe, and more open”-- as in feeling as if they could say what they wanted and felt.

Logan Wooldridge is a well-known and comedic teacher. He teaches Algebra I and II. He also has this other fanny pack that he was very happy to show me that says 'algebruh'. His highest degree is a Master's. He got his degree and position in the COVID years so, along with Dr. Whit, he has only had his classroom for about two years, though he argues it could be three. During the wonderful interview, he made a few comments about his day, as asked, but also a really good sandwich, and debated going home to make another.

Mr. Wooldridge has a normal-looking classroom upon first approach, but the harder you look, the goofier his classroom becomes. He has tons of math graphics and origami from his sadly removed club. The closer you look, you might realize that he also has random Skeletor images in the back, Garfield, and plenty of “weird small things” as stated by Wooldridge himself. 

After being asked about why he has all of these random small artifacts around, he stated, “I spend a lot of time in here… so why not make it funny, yet practical.” He said that he is almost never bored in his class, because he feels that his classes fall into a “flow”, where people really just start working and doing well. He was also asked if he is trying to have an effect on his students through the classroom. He said kind of, since he likes for people to look around the class and question these little goofy items. After our nice little chat about his classroom design and whether or not he means to have an influence by the design, he respectfully shook my hand to send me on my way, then wiped his hand on his jeans and yelled at me to get out. What a nice young man. (All in jest, of course. He is a very nice teacher who likes to mess with students occasionally, or in my case, daily - weekly).
