About The Teacher
Hi, I am Mrs. Metz and I root for the Yankees! ;) I am a graduate of Cook College, Rutgers University ( which no longer exists since they've renamed it). I studied Plant Science and Psychology while I was there. I used to manage greenhouses, garden centers and nurseries in a former life. I also served as the campaign manager for a woman who ran for US Congress in 1993. I am married with one child and I live REALLY far away. One day, while I was weeding in 101 degree heat, I decided that I wanted to do something that would make a difference in the world. At first I considered studying to become a doctor, but being no spring chicken anymore, I decided that teaching was a better idea. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. I love teaching. I have taught General Biology, Honors Biology and Marine Biology. Hopefully I can transmit my enthusiasm and you will love it, too.
Mission For The Class
The first step on the journey to science literacy is Biology. Biology is relevant to everyone's lives. If you want to take good care of your body, understanding nutrition, exercise and energy use are helpful. If you, or in the future, your children or your elderly parents go to the doctor, then having a basic understanding of how your body works is very helpful when discussing health issues with your physician. If you are a good citizen and you are consistently voting on election day, there are many environmental issues that come up in the questions both local and state that you must decide on. Daily decisions made at the pharmacy, the grocery store and the garden center rely on a solid knowledge of Biology. I would like for all of my students to understand the importance of learning Biology, and I would also like them to see how fascinating it really is.
