This Week's Pick: Mr. Flechs 

Mr. Flechs is one of the Special Education teachers here at NCOE. He teaches English and science special education classes. 

Tell us a little bit about your life before teaching.

Well, I originally went to Southern Illinois University-Carbondale and obtained my degree in Speech Pathology. I went into the job market and could not find a job, so I moved back and started teaching at Brownsville under special education. 

What made you want to pursue this career?

Working with the special education program at Brownsville, actually. I fell in love with helping kids and went back to school to get my degree in Special education. 

Whar are some of your favorite hobbies or interests?

I really enjoy playing golf, I occasionally like to binge watch TV shows, and I enjoy spending time with my son. 

What does a typical day look like for you? 

Typically, in the mornings I wake up and then get my son up and ready for school. Then, I go to work and handle all my classes for the day before going home. In the evenings, I typically play with my son and help him with homework before bed. 

If you could change one thing about your job, what would it be?

Uh, I don't think there is anything I would like to change. I'm content with my job.
