Mr. Rzykruski is the new science teacher at New Holland Elementary School. He is 46 years old. He has a thick, Eastern European accent and a unique way of explaining things. He connects with his students, but parents misunderstand his passionate teaching style. Mr. Rzykruski serves as a mentor and inspiration to Victor, teaching him that science can do both good and bad things and that if a scientist does not put his heart into his experiment, there could be disastrous consequences.
He was unfairly fired when the parents used him as a scapegoat when some kids got injured while doing science work.
