Eliott: Hi, everyone. Welcome to my third and last episode of this series of interviews. Today we'll be interviewing Sacha from 6B, and we'll talk about the departure of two teachers, Gilles and Robin. First of all, Sacha, can you present yourself in a couple of words?
Sacha: Hi, everyone. I'm Sacha. I've been studying here for six years. I play handball.
Eliott: Perfect. So, as you know, yesterday was quite eventful because we had to say goodbye to two teachers, Robin and Gilles. Can you talk to us about these last days and how they worked out for you?
Sacha: These last two days were really moving because these were two teachers that we loved a lot. Yesterday, we did an event.
Eliott: Like you said, we loved them a lot as teachers. What was your relationship with them? I guess you've also had Robin since third grade, and maybe you had Gilles as well. Can you describe your relationship with them?
Sacha: I didn't know Gilles that much because I never had him as a teacher, but he was the teacher with the committee. He was really good, really funny, and always understanding. As for Robin, I had him since third grade or fourth. I had a good relationship with him because he talked with me about music, Lord of the Rings, and movies. He was quite like me when he was young.
Eliott: So, like you said, they were two close teachers to us. I think during the school trip, they were the two teachers we spoke with the most, maybe Frederick as well. What were your initial thoughts about this whole situation?
Sacha: At first, I was really fearful because I thought they were going to be fired. But then nothing happened, so it started to get hopeful. But these last two days, I've been really depressed.
Eliott: I know it's maybe a touchy subject, but for you, was it a good and fair decision?
Sacha: Not at all. From what I know of the story, I don't think it was fair. And it's a bit dumb because Robin was the only history teacher, and we don't have many Dutch teachers either.
Eliott: When I look at our situation with Dutch teachers, I remember in first grade I had a teacher who left because she was pregnant. Second year, she left because she had a burnout, and we had another teacher who left as well. Third year was the only year where I had a stable Dutch teacher, and in the last two years, I had Gilles . My best Dutch years were with those two. In terms of professional decisions, looking for new teachers now seems quite dumb.
Sacha: Yeah, I had a problem with two Dutch teachers. Last year, our Dutch teacher left, so we got Pierre. This year, we had a problem as well, and we got Pierre and someone else.
Eliott: Talking about Gilles and Robin and their careers as teachers, how do you see the future for them? Do you think you'll see them again, or how does the future look?
Sacha: I know that I will see them again, but not as my teachers because I don't think they'll be coming back here. But I don't think it will be hard for them to find a job because they are really good teachers with good techniques. They're passionate about what they teach.
Eliott: We both think that we'll see them again in the future.
Sacha: Yes.
Eliott: Thank you very much for this interview. It was really interesting. It was a good farewell yesterday for J and Robin. Thank you, and thank you all for listening during this series of interviews. This was my last episode, so thank you
