EP 46 - The “Where’s everyone going” Edition
On past episodes, George and I have talked about how happy most people are with their schools on the local level. Students and parents love their teachers and feel like their schools are headed in the right direction, but that love shifts when they talk about the state of the public school system on regional or national scales. Today, we’re going to talk about the people at the center of that discussion, the classroom teacher. In August, PBS reported that upwards of 20% of all teaching vacancies in the US for this academic year are due to educators leaving the profession entirely. While some attribute this to the “great resignation” that’s affecting the entire workforce, today we’re going to try to understand why teachers in particular are leaving the classroom, as we ask, “Where’s everyone going?”

EP 45 - The “It’s more than just the facts” Edition
Off air, George and I have often reminisced about the countless high school teachers who told us in no uncertain terms This will be the most important class of your lives. While we’re sure…if we could remember anything from any of those classes…that we would have ended up in vans down by the river if not for those teachers’ wisdom and, often, strict discipline, for this episode we’re interested in what really prepares students for success as college students. After spending four or more years preparing for college by taking classes, doing homework, creating projects and taking tests on repeat, many students enter college with good grades and good test scores, but they find themselves struggling when they get on college campuses across the country. So, get out your notebooks, create a dialectical journal, and yes, we’re going to need you to find your colored pencils because we’re wondering what schools need to do to prepare students for the realities of their college years.

EP 44 - The "Dude, 'are your tots soggy?!'' Edition
While George and I remember tasting the paste as we muddled our way through arts and crafts in kindergarten, most people’s school culinary memories are of sitting on benches in crowded cafeterias, trading PB&Js for chocolate pudding, partaking in real or imagined food fights, and, of course, doing battle with the proverbial lunch lady. As the vast majority of American students are headed back to in-person school this fall, we want to open our fourth season talking beyond the classroom as we explore the importance of school lunch programs. Today, despite film depictions of trays of brown sludge and tiny milks, we’re going to discuss how the school lunch is integral not only to fueling our students’ bodies but also their minds.
