Axelsson departure sparks confusion September 21, 2015 — by Melissa Magner After a month, temporary Psychology and Government/Economics teacher Erik Axelsson is no longer teaching the class and replaced by substitute Scott Nelson. After a month, temporary Psychology and Government/Economics teacher Erik Axelsson is no longer teaching the class and has been replaced by substitute Scott Nelson. Axelsson was hired to replace Hana Chen during her first-semester maternity leave. Senior Kimberley Chen, who was in Axelsson’s fifth-period AP Government/Economics class said that although situation may be confusing for a while, she thinks that the choice to bring in Nelson was a good decision. Senior Oksana Trifonova, who was in Axelsson’s seventh-period AP Government/Economics class, also said that the switch was confusing. “I think the [worst part was] that we had a switch of teachers the day before a test,” Trifonova said. “It would have been helpful to have the same teacher there who taught us when we took the test in case we had any questions. But I really like Mr. Nelson and I think he’s a good teacher.” The administration was unable to comment on the situation because it involves a personnel matter. 2 views this week
