What residents are saying about today’s issues

RENEE BONVILLAIN

Houma

I’d say that the best teachers are patient. Every child is different. It takes patience and dedication.

AMANDA WALKER

Houma

It has to be someone who can juggle both being your friend, but also your disciplinarian. That’s not easy to do. It’s like being a parent.

TIMMY HILL

Houma

Someone who has a wide knowledge base and really knows what they’re talking about. A lot of teachers are up there faking it.

LORRAINE TALBOT

Thibodaux

I think it’s hard to define. You know how they say athletes have ‘it’? Well teachers have to have that special ‘it’, too.

HERBERT JONES

Houma

I always liked the teachers who were willing to go above and beyond to help you. It’s hard to reach out and impact that many people.

JIMMY NEWMAN

Houma

You have to be nice and a people person, right? You’re dealing with people all day.
