Former Kennedy teacher, Cary
Beatty substituted for Mrs. Haynes-Moore’s 5th hour Journalism class
and held a press conference. His dedication and love for teaching was
inspiring.
Mary Wilcynski, who was the former principal at Kennedy High School,
hired Beatty and was also the most influential towards him. “She genuinely
cared about every student”, “It was like she would go home and study everyone’s
names because she always knew everyone”, says Beatty.
His love for teaching
grew with him throughout his life. Beatty always thought about teaching and it
ran in the family. Another interest he has is directing school plays. He
directed about 5 plays a year and said that was his favorite experience.
With
him being retired and besides subbing, his hobbies include playing with his
dogs; Boner and Piglet, and traveling with his wife. They have been to most of
Western Europe and South Africa but aren’t able to travel much right now with
his mother-in-law being sick. He never had any kids but it was like he didn’t
even need any because he always had his students.
Some things that guided
Beatty through his teaching experience was, “Don’t take too many things
seriously because it’s just school not real life.”
