Teachers of Arlington – Coach Loyd

Erin Benjamin, Journalist

What’s been the most rewarding aspect of teaching at Arlington?

“The most rewarding aspect definitely comes into play this year, because this will be my first graduating class that I got to see go from freshman year all the way to senior year, so it’s pretty rewarding just to see the growth of kids from how they acted, how they behaved, or their grades from then to now. It’s just been cool to see them grow and mature.”

What’s been the most embarrassing memory you’ve had with a student?

“Back in 2020, there was a kid or two in my class and we were taking midterms. I leaned back in my rollie chair and the chair broke, so I fell onto the ground in front of those two, shared a little laugh, and told them to please never embarrass me in front of everybody… but now I’m telling this story so.”
