students with great success
and also took advantage of
many workshops offered
through the Educational
Service Units but he believes
classroom management
techniques are better taught in
college-level education classes
today and teachers are better
prepared.
“The students today are
different as well as from when
I started,” Rolfes said. “Kids
are more vocal and speak out
in the classroom more often
in a variety of inappropriate
ways.”
He added youth are lacking
in respect for older people as
well as each other. Sometimes
they need to learn respect
is earned in the classroom
and everywhere else. He
remembers when he grew
up, the teachers were always right, the student was always wrong and
the punishment when a student returned home at night was probably
worse than what the teacher dealt out at school.
Still with all the technology upgrades and school district
requirements for student participation in extracurricular activities,
Rolfes enjoyed working with
the students. Even when the
football season would grind
week after week, he worked
hard to keep the students
eligible to participate. He
said it was a continued
cooperative effort between
the teachers and coaches,
good communication with the
administration and offering
educational help to all the
students when they needed it.
The constant progress
the Wynot School District
makes in the face of adversity
with upgrading their facilities
to ensure the future of Wynot
makes Rolfes very pleased he
lives where he does.
“Whenever its
necessary, the community
comes together and supports
projects like the new
addition,” Rolfes said. The community is encouraged to see former
graduates and alumni decide to move back to Wynot to raise their
children and be part of a small rural school district where all the
