This episode took us almost two months to record. We took a little break, Redacted got the plague (maybe COVID), and now the school year is starting. It’s been a LOT. But we love you and we’re so glad to be back!

We asked you to share why you left teaching, and wow, did you deliver! From burnout to dealing with unsupportive admin, we’re talking about the tough choices we’ve all made to walk away. We’re here to validate your experiences, share some laughs, and maybe even shed a tear or two. Let’s get into it!

What’s the point of school? No really, what’s the point? When a student walks across that stage to get their diploma, what should we – as teachers – have imparted to them? Today we’re getting into what we think the most important lessons are. Turns out, it’s more about critical thinking than calculus.

Today we’re reading your submissions about testing. The common denominators are how BORING it is, the absolutely absurd regulations at your schools, and lots and lots of puking for some reason. Let’s get into the highs and (mostly) lows of administering the tests from Uncle Sam.

This episode turned out to be an inspo session, which is rare for us. Today, Chanea Bond is here to break down the realities of 'honors' classes. A lot of times, ‘honors' is less about smarts and more about thriving in classrooms without the distraction of behavioral issues. Mrs. Bond lives by the credo 'It's not you, it's the system’ and is here to remind us that sometimes the problem really is the kids – and that's perfectly okay.
