Adam and Emily have a decade of experience teaching, drinking, and talking about teaching while drinking. If you're a teacher, join us and we're sorry. And if you're not a teacher, then good for you. The least you can do is listen to tales from those of us who decided to live out the rest of our day…
Ever had to take a Pop Final Exam? Well, Chris’s kids do and we can’t wait to talk about it. Final exams are here! This is amazing news for teachers and a source of enormous stress, and sometimes really dumb cheating, for students.
Isn’t is messed up that one of the professions that is most likely to get sick (so many germy kids…) is also one of the hardest to take a sick day? Let’s talk about it.
It’s that time of the year again. The month when teachers scroll through job postings and reconsider all of their life choices: it’s time for standardized testing.
Who is our third host, Chris? What’s his deal? Why did he get into teaching? (Hint: it has to do with bugs!)
Living in a high school means teachers never escape Calculus or Shakespeare. So what do you do when your students assume you know everything about parabolas and you hate to let them down?
Happy Spring Break! What is it like being in a high school the week before spring break? And what do teachers do when they really need a day off but still have a lesson to teach?
Adam, Emily, and Chris were lucky enough to go to SXSW EDU and attend some amazing sessions. They heard Levar Burton and David Hogg; Emily presented her own workshop to 100 teachers; and they went to Qatar (basically)! But… not all professional development is professionally developing…
Join Adam and Emily, along with super special guest Chris, as they dive into the world of teacher fears and nightmares. Remember that dream you had where you showed up at school in your underwear? Teachers have to deal with that dream for the rest of their lives…
Join Adam and Emily as they vent about the unique pet peeves that come with working in a school, including advice to non-teachers about what not to say to your teacher friends. As Adam puts it so eloquently, “Teaching is ten pounds of pet peeve in a five pound bag.”
Pull up a chair and have a drink with Adam and Emily, two friends who also happen to be teachers, as they talk about why they started a podcast and how they each got into teaching (spoiler: both include their moms).
