This episode is dedicated to Olivia Newton John as we welcome young teachers, Roy and Emily to discuss back-to-school anxiety, laugh about some end of year shenanigans and contemplate the nationwide teacher shortage.

Farts (of course) and the secret words and codes of the elusive middle school creature.

The impacts we unknowingly make, French dick, and sharing the mics with two effing phenomenal middle school counselors who take an interesting spin on "pandemic trauma." 

This week's stories:  Penis Pictionary & You'll get fired for taking sick days!Then, an interview with new teachers who share their pandemic teaching experiences, including one teacher who in her seventh month of teaching realized,  "I'd never seen one of my students smile."  And people wonder why we are all medicated..?!?!?
