Mr. Sam Dahl is the newest, and maybe the most unique science teacher here at Springville Junior High. He started teaching this year and students are already buzzing about him. “He understands us,” says Kallie Whitby, a seventh grader at Springville Junior High, “He knows how to teach us right.” This is only one of the many testimonials of what a great teacher Mr. Dahl is.

Mr. Dahl says his favorite part of teaching is “Making my students lives completely miserable! Nothing brings me more pleasure than when I hear my students say ‘Mr. Dahl you are the meanest teacher in the world,’” although he is kidding, this quote tells a lot about his teaching style, and how he likes to joke around and have fun.

His students say he is one of the coolest, laid back, fun teachers at Springville Junior High. Comments about him range from “he is the best!” to “you rock Mr. Dahl!” For a new teacher who has only been teaching for 21 days, he has already taken on an incredible reputation at Springville Junior High.

“I realized at a very young age that if I could gain a position of power and authority over other people, I could work my way up the ladder until I eventually ruled the entire world. So teaching is just the beginning for me,” explained Mr. Dahl, and again he was of course kidding.

According to his students, he teaches his subject very well and keeps things entertaining for the kids, but he also knows that the kids must learn and makes them take notes. Here’s what Sarah Muir, a seventh grader at Springville Junior High, thinks about Mr. Dahl’s teaching method: “He helps me get science in a fun way, and he just ROCKS!”

Mr. Dahl has already adopted quite a reputation here at Springville Junior High. Maybe he actually might fulfill his lifelong dream and take over the world!
