Junior Bob Meyers appears to do nothing in class most days. In reality, he has finished all of his work. Photo courtesy of SLOHS English teacher Scott Nairne.
San Luis Obispo is littered with fun and unique individuals. These can be students and staff members, and they sometimes are a little hard to understand.
Take junior Bob Meyers, for example. Meyers’ creativity was on display in his ninth grade English class when he decided to write his first memoir about writing a memoir.
His English teacher still uses this essay as a unique example in class.
Expressions decided to catch up with Meyers and have him express his opinions on completely random subjects.
Expressions: I’m going to give you three topics. I just want your honest opinions on each question.. Okay?
SLOHS Junior Bob Meyers: Sure?
Expressions: Second period?
Meyers: Second period for me is English with SLOHS English teacher Craig Stewart. He flips a coin over and over until it narrows it down to one person, because if you call it wrong, then it goes down to you. And if you get it, you have to stand up and recite a poem, and if you get it wrong, you get a zero.
Expressions: Yeah? What do you think of that?
Meyers: I think it’s fun. I got into the class late, so I don’t know the poem right now, so if I get picked on, I’ll die, but hopefully I’ll learn it today, tomorrow, something like that.
Expressions: All right. Subject number two, just to take it up a notch. Cafeteria food?
Meyers: I think the breakfasts are really good. The cinnamon rolls on Wednesday are a rejuvenating part of my week. The lunches are more hit or miss, but that could just be me.
Expressions: Subject number three. Last year, there were many reported incidents of people doing inappropriate things in SLOHS bathrooms.
Meyers: Yeah, I heard about that. One thing that the administration is trying to do to stop it, is they put the vape detectors in the bathroom. These can detect loud, hostile noises, and also it can detect people in the bathroom.
Expressions: I don’t know if that’s true. Is that true?
Meyers: That’s what the new vice principal Josh Garcia said. Apparently, it’s true, it can detect that stuff. It feels a little creepy, technically it means it’s listening in the bathroom.
Expressions: I have an extra credit topic, chime in on furries.
Meyers: I feel like the opinion of furries online is pretty much, furries are basically just anyone who has any interest in anthropomorphic animals at all. These people might also spend thousands of dollars to get these [character] suits. They’re crazy expensive, it’s ridiculous. In reality, they’re fine, it’s a little weird dressing up as an animal in public and pretending to be an animal, but if it’s not hurting anyone, I don’t really worry about it.
Expressions: Will you agree right now to write an informative opinion article in Expressions about furries to set the record straight.
Meyers: All right, this trimester, I could do that. Sure, yeah.
Meyers’ article about furries will be up tomorrow, so stay tuned, Tigers.
