Rolfes Is Just A Small-Town Guy Ron Rolfes, a retired history/social science teacher and coach from Wynot, NE, has lived in rural Nebraska all his life, growing up on the family farm southeast of Menominee, attending Wayne State College for his education degree and after a couple short stints teaching at West Catholic Elementary School in Fordyce and Menominee and Homer High School, settled to a life well-lived in Wynot. “I loved the teaching but the technology had become very challenging and stressful,” Rolfes said. The increased use of computers for reporting student documentation and keeping track of all the student assessments became more of a job than he was interested in. “Over the years, yes, education has changed,” Rolfes said with a smile. “When I graduated from college I thought I knew everything and in reality, I knew nothing.” Rolfes did his student teaching in Bellevue where students were divided into tracks. His group of students were track one students – the cream of the crop. All the students responded in class and did their homework. But when he signed a contract with Homer, he experienced ‘culture shock’ he said. “I knew how to write lesson plans but not how to deal with those students who did not do their homework and cared even less,” Rolfes said. “And those students were in the classroom with all the smart students. How do I deal with that?” Over the years Rolfes learned to teach those Prescriptions Filled. Expectations Exceeded.
