Mrs. Piacentini is often referred to as
"Mrs. P" by her students.
Q. What are some of your favorite
pastimes?
A. I love to spend time with my boys;
we enjoy playing Super Mario
together. I love to sing, although I?m
not very good at it, and dairy farm,
which I?ve done for 3 and a half years.
Likewise, I take pleasure in going on
nature walks to explore outside!
Q. How long have you been
teaching?
A. I?ve been teaching for 23 years,
and have been with AOA for a year
and a half.
Q. When did you decide you
wanted to become a math teacher?
A. Growing up I knew I wanted to
become a teacher and work with
children. I attempted working with
kindergartners, and very soon
realized that was not what I wanted to
do. In high school, however, I
volunteered for a program for
assisting teachers, which in my
circumstance happened to be a math
teacher. I found joy in giving
assistance to this math teacher, and
that is when I realized I wanted to
become one myself.
Q. Is math your favorite subject?
A. Yes, I?d say it is. It was always one
of my favorites growing up,
psychology being my second favorite.
Q. What is your favorite part about
teaching the students at AOA?
A. My favorite part is the openness
and ability to talk about Jesus without
having to hold back my faith, and
praying with my students.
Q. Why do you believe cheating is
wrong?
A. In the Bible, God clearly states
lying is a sin, and cheating is lying.
My job as a teacher is to present
opportunities to help my students
understand what they cannot
understand, and to help guide them in
truth. Cheating brings unfavorable
consequences and ruins others?
perception and trust towards you.
Q. How, through your job, do you
reveal the nature of God to your
students?
A. By first getting to know my
students, and forming a relationship,
which is important in showing them
the love of God, not just to teach
math, but to teach of Christ.
