“So, Mr. Randolph, Bug has told us that you spend the first fifteen years out of college teaching math. How much would you say you enjoyed it?” Sarah asked while Ethel just watched.

Ethel wasn’t sure yet, but she was at least willing to do the interview.

It’s far more important that students learn how things work than how to guess the right answer on a piece of paper. Understanding fundamentals of why math works the way it does is how you create a real love of mathematics in young people,” he answered proudly. Ethel had to admit that was a great answer.

    “How comfortable would you be teaching nonhumans?” Ethel asked, watching intently for any reaction.


    “I consider Bug to be one of the best people I have ever met. I believe she is responsible for helping me see how terrible of a place I had signed onto was. Without meeting her, there is a real chance I’d have been involved in something beyond horrible. So what I’m trying to say is the fact that you somehow have magical talking animals here in need of an education is something I think is amazing,” he answered.
