Meow

NJHFAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Why does Dr. Hill “meow?”

  1. Meowing is weird and it is especially weird when your teacher does it. However, meowing helps breaks up the monotony of the school day and is just weird enough to capture my students’ attention. The school day is long and after a while, students have a tendency to tune adults out so it takes a bit of imagination to break through and communicate sometimes. However, please don’t be afraid, my meows won’t cause any harm. 
  2. Meowing teaches my students to pay attention to intonation. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. My “meows” are quite powerful and my students can usually tell what my meows mean without me using actual words. 🙂

Fun Facts:

  • Dr. Hill does not own any cats.
  • Dr. Hill is allergic to pet dander.
  • Dr. Hill sounds like a teacup poodle if she barks and let’s face it no one really pays attention to a teacup poodle. LOL!!!
