The whole school loves Mr. Z. because he is the greatest Chemistry/Physics/Big History teacher in the world. However, there is a lot that is not known about Mr. Z, I mean this guy eats dandelions!? His dry, witty sense of humor and numerous catchphrases get smiles out of any student, and today we are going to be taking a deep dive into his life.
Jason Zaros is a very colorful man. If you have yet to take his class, I can almost promise you will enjoy his character and that he will brighten your day each time you set foot into his class. He has a daughter, her name is Demetria. If you have not seen a Native American burial mound, I urge you to check them out whether it be a photo online or the real thing. Mr. Z loves burial mounds and has begun creating his own. Created by layers of dirt and wood (he called it dirt and wood lasagna), Mr. Z hopes to one day be buried inside his mound. Obsessed with plants, Mr. Z is in a Facebook group dedicated to flora and the identification of plants. Mr. Z says he lives quite a simple life. He wakes up in the morning, goes hard all day, and then promptly passes out until the next morning.
Out of all of the previous jobs he has had, Mr. Z says he enjoys teaching the best, mostly because a previous job included butchering rats for the sake of science. His favorite color is red, and he got his degree from Ohio University, at the Athens campus. Mr. Z enjoyed the college life, the freedom, and the atmosphere, but said he wasn't much of a partygoer. He wasn't big into sports in school but said he played during recess every day. When asked about his favorite food, he said that it was dandelions! If you did not already know, Mr. Z says "dandelions are edible and they make a great tea when boiled."
An outstanding individual and a bright spot here at Waterford High School, Mr. Zaros oversees that chemistry lab like a nuclear physicist. His infinite wisdom contributes to the classroom setting in a positive way, as does his sense of humor. ¡Hasta Mañana!
