Would you take a $5,000 reward in exchange for your seat on an overbooked flight if you could take a flight the next day? Anna's friend denied it, Anna and Raven would take it in a second.  Dane Cooks brother stole thousands of dollars from him. Pasta sauce containers were the hiding spot. That's a new one! What is your money hiding spot?  School's are now considering paying students to go to school to ensure perfect attendance. Anna (and her daughter, Hayden) never needed compensation, though!  Lifelong obsessions typically start/peak around the middle school age. Anna, Raven, Producer Sophia and Producer Justin all discuss their middle school obsessions.   Anna saw The Odyssey and had some questions for Producer Justin, Raven has some last minute wedding prep, Sophia missed her opportunity for Harry Styles tickets, and Justin ran into a moustache incident. We're you mad, sad, or glad this weekend?  Grocery store arguments, the worst. For Anna, it's the express checkout lane. Which is seeing its way out. Today, common grocery store arguments are the topic of conversation.  Don't be that guy! First day of school edition. If you put a leg up on the bottom stair with your cup of coffee holding up the bus to talk to the driver, you're the problem! 12 pounds in 3 weeks! Let's see if he can hit his goal weight by his son's wedding! Today, Raven has another weigh in. He sure is surprising everyone with these results! Dominque ran over the neighbor's cat when she was reversing out of the driveway. She didn't see the cat, and she feels terrible about it. When she realized what had happened, she quickly ran over to their home and got them. It took her a few knocks on doors, because she didn't know who's house the cat belonged to, she doesn't have much of a relationship with the people on her street. It's a busier street. Now, six months later, she and her husband, Fred, received a notice from the neighbors that they would like to be compensated $2500 so they can replace the cat and for emotional trauma. She wants to just pay them because she feels so bad about it. Her husband says no way, this is a cheap money grab. Their cat shouldn't have been roaming the streets. What do you think? Gabby has a chance to win $2,200! All he has to do is answer more pop culture questions than Raven in Can't Beat Raven!

Middle school changes kids in ways that can feel unrecognizable. Dr. Russell Ledet, child and adolescent psychiatrist and father of two Black girls, joins Dr. Joy to explain why. They walk through the psychological stages driving adolescence, industry versus inferiority giving way to identity versus role confusion. They talk through what's actually happening in the brain as the amygdala and prefrontal cortex develop on different timelines, a combination Dr. Ledet argues isn't cruel so much as an opening for parents to grow alongside their kids. Dr. Ledet talks through how friendships form in middle school and what anxiety can look like when it doesn't announce itself. He offers real-time guidance for common flashpoints, a first physical or verbal fight and a first heartbreak, along with how to tell the difference between normal adolescent worry and something that needs more support. He closes on the one thing he thinks most parents get wrong about middle schoolers. They assume kids aren't thinking things through, when really they are thinking about everything at once and mostly need to be heard.

Got a good laceration story?! 2. What is one thing you learned from the teaching on 2 Corinthians 8:1-9 and what difference will it make? 3. What is both unreasonable and reasonable about Grace (undeserved kindness)? 4. Talk about the “unreasonable equation” in verse 2: Severe suffering + Overflowing Joy + Extreme Poverty = Rich generosity. 5. Have you ever given “as much as you were able, and even beyond your ability?” (v.3) How'd that go? 6. Do you have any interest in “excelling in the grace of giving?” (v. 7) Any ideas how you might do that? 7. Macedonia inspired Corinth to be generous (v. 8). Who has inspired you and how did they do that? Who are you hoping to inspire? 8. Verse 9 is one of the most pithy and profound descriptions of the Gospel of Jesus – what does it mean and what does it mean to you? 9. If you're a Christian, turns out your rich!

Middle school is a time like no other, as significant biological and emotional changes coincide with profound personal growth, says educator Jerome Hunter. The middle school for boys that he founded centers on a program that helps redefine masculinity through what he calls the three "Cs" -- confidence, communication and community. He shares the growth he's seen when boys are encouraged to explore their own empathy -- and how it could lead to a more just world.(This episode originally aired in 2024.) Hosted on Acast.

My son starts middle school today, so in this special episode, I ask him what he's excited about, what he's nervous about, what he hopes middle school will be like, and what advice he'd give another kid who's feeling scared. His answers are honest, funny, thoughtful, and such a sweet reminder of how our kids see the world.Whether your child is starting middle school, another grade, or you're simply soaking up these fleeting years of parenthood, I hope this conversation encourages you to slow down and hear what's on your child's heart.

Hosts Ryan and Mike share the three things that will have the biggest impact on an ADHD child's school year — and none of them involve buying supplies. First, they explain why setting clear, specific expectations before school starts (morning routines, homework, electronics, bedtime, after-school activities) prevents the negotiation battles that derail families every fall. Second, they walk through building routines now rather than scrambling once school begins, with particular emphasis on keeping school-issued laptops out from behind closed doors and advocating with the school when technology becomes a distraction rather than a tool. Third, they lay out how to start strong with teachers through concise, collaborative communication — and why badmouthing a teacher in front of your child or demanding a classroom switch does more harm than good. Throughout the episode, Ryan and Mike stress that consistency lowers emotional intensity and that small changes now prevent big problems in September and October.Find Mike @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.grownowadhd.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find Ryan @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.adhddude.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠{{chapters}}[00:00:00] Start[00:05:19] Tip 1: Set Clear Expectations Before School[00:09:23] Tip 2: Build Routines Before You Need Them[00:13:45] Managing School-Issued Laptops and Screens[00:16:37] Tip 3: Start Strong With Teachers[00:21:18] Don't Badmouth Teachers in Front of Your Child[00:22:47] Summary: Small Changes Now Prevent Big Problems

The back-to-school season isn't just an adjustment for preschoolers and elementary-aged children. In many ways, the tween and teen years present the biggest sleep challenge of all. As children move through puberty, their circadian rhythm naturally shifts later, making it harder to fall asleep early, just as school start times require earlier wake-ups. Add in homework, sports, extracurricular activities, social lives, and screens, and many middle and high school students are functioning with far less sleep than they need. In this episode, Allison explains what's actually happening to your tween or teen's brain and body during adolescence, why so many older children are chronically sleep deprived, and the practical steps parents can take to help. She discusses the latest research on teen sleep, the connection between sleep and academic performance, anxiety, depression, athletic performance, and emotional regulation, and why helping older kids prioritize sleep may be one of the greatest gifts parents can give them. Whether you have a middle schooler who's suddenly impossible to wake up or a high school student staying up late to finish homework, this episode offers practical, research-backed strategies to help your child get the sleep they need to thrive. In this episode, Allison discusses: Why puberty naturally shifts a child's circadian rhythm How much sleep tweens and teens actually need Why school schedules work against adolescent biology The latest research showing teens are getting less sleep than ever before The connection between sleep, learning, memory, and academic performance How sleep deprivation affects anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation Why sleep deprivation can mimic ADHD symptoms Signs your tween or teen is simply "getting by" instead of thriving Why weekend sleep-ins and long naps can make school-week sleep even harder The importance of consistent sleep schedules How screens, late-night texting, and homework affect sleep Why Allison doesn't recommend screens in bedrooms The role bedtime routines still play during the teen years Thoughts on melatonin use for adolescents Practical ways parents can help older children prioritize sleep   Resources mentioned: Episode 187.

Shary and Cuitlahuac read into the record the lived experience of a member of the Paredes Middle School community who details the “disruption” experienced prior to the district's decision to close the campus in an effort to avoid a fourth consecutive “F” grade. They also discuss changes to the bus transportation hubs and how the community is already organizing ahead of a possible state takeover.

In this episode, we dive into three fan-submitted ghost stories sent in straight from the heart of Appalachia. First, we head to Floyd County, Kentucky, where a childhood memory in the 1990s involves an invisible man in steel-toed boots pacing a storage trailer, a turning doorknob, and an unseen presence waiting in the back room. Next, a county sheriff's dispatcher shares the spine-tingling account of a shift sergeant who spotted a hand pulling back drapes to peer out a window—only to find the homeowner deceased inside a completely empty house. Finally, we travel to Christiansburg, Virginia, to explore a middle school haunted by the infamous Black Sisters, where a young teen encounters a phantom figure and a mysteriously running sink in an empty restroom.Have your own story?

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | August 9, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Romans 1:16-17, Romans 10:13-15, Romans 15:20, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, John 17:20-21, John 1:14 Reflection Questions:1. Throughout the book of Romans, Paul explains the truth and power of the gospel message and gives the church the mission to take that message to the world…Read: Romans 1:16-17, Romans 10:13-15, Romans 15:20If you had to evaluate your passion for the mission of taking the gospel to the world, what would you say about yourself? (excited, burdened, indifferent, scared, …) Explain… Where do you see things that you need to grow? 2. If the unity of the people of God is a major theme of seeing the world changed, where do you see the state of the church in the U.S.? What would need to change in the church? How would you think the church should go about growing in unity? What could you do personally? 3. Do you feel comfortable in your faith or challenged in your faith? Why do most people try to gravitate toward being comfortable? What is the cost of being comfortable? 4. Reflect on the life and ministry of Jesus… How did he consistently bring people to a place of challenge in their faith? Why do you think it takes challenge to bring change to people in most cases? How have you experienced challenge in your life bringing growth and change to your faith? How can we consistently bring challenge to our own life and faith? 5. Jesus modeled by becoming a person that bringing the Kingdom to earth is to be done personally and organically and intentionally. 6. If God places us intentionally in places where we can personally be an influence for the Kingdom, where are the places God has placed you right now? How can you be an influence in that place with your life? How has God used you in the past? How do you hope that He will use you in the future? 7.

In this episode, Mark talks with Aaron Mueller about his experiences with modeling instruction. They talk about getting students to think like scientists, questioning one another, and using both inductive and deductive reasoning. They talk about the connection between NGSS and modeling instruction and about some of Aaron's tips for new teachers and book recommendations. Guest Aaron Mueller Aaron Mueller is a 7th grade Science Teacher in Naperville, Illinois. He has been teaching for 26 years and began Modeling in 2012-13. Through his career, he has taught middle and high school science. Aaron has experience with modeling workshops in Biology, Mechanics, and Middle School. Highlights [5:19] Aaron: "So students that are, ELL to having a 504 IEP, gifted even, their sets of languages are so different. However, modeling can bring them together really easily through observation, inferencing, gathering evidence, explaining the evidence, drawing." [17:10] Aaron: "I feel like a way to describe NGSS is like that framework or backbone and modeling to me is that key to turn it on and let it go."

To speak with an advisor and learn more about Admittedly's Middle School Program, book a Complimentary Strategy Call: https://admittedly.co/middle-school/ Parents often think college admissions starts in high school. In reality, many of the habits, skills, and decisions that shape a student's future begin much earlier. In this episode, Thomas Caleel explains why middle school isn't about building a college résumé... it's about building the foundation for future success. From developing study skills and exploring interests to understanding academic pathways and preparing for the transition to high school, Thomas shares how families can support students without creating unnecessary pressure. Key Takeaways Why middle school should focus on exploration. How study habits and executive functioning become long-term advantages. Why extracurricular involvement is about curiosity and discipline, not checking boxes. The importance of preparing for the transition into ninth grade. How early academic decisions can impact future course options. Why parents should guide the process without taking it over. How Admittedly's Middle School Program helps families prepare with confidence. Middle school isn't about getting ahead for the sake of getting ahead. It's about giving students the time, support, and confidence to discover who they are before the stakes get higher. A thoughtful foundation today creates more opportunities tomorrow.

Logan Holloman | Next Gen Pastor | July 26, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Romans 14:13-23 Reflection Questions:1. Looking back at this week's message, what stood out to you most? Was there a verse, phrase, or idea that challenged or encouraged you? 2. Paul says, "Make every effort to do what leads to peace and mutual edification" (Romans 14:19). Who has been someone in your life that consistently built you up in your faith? What did they do that made such an impact? 3. Throughout the sermon we asked the question, "Will this build?" Think about a current relationship, disagreement, or area where you have strong convictions. How might asking that question change the way you respond this week? 4. Paul reminds us that Jesus is still shaping each of us. Is there an area where the Lord has changed or matured one of your convictions over time? How does remembering that help you show humility and patience toward believers who are still growing? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Drew and Alex sit down with Garrett Beal and Jason Avalar, the PE teachers keeping it alive.What we get into:The program traces back to Mark Wilson, who saw a La Sierra documentary on TV in the seventies, pitched his superintendent, flew out to observe, and came back and built something that's now outlasted everyone who started it. Twenty different physical fitness tests. A colored trunk system where gray is where everyone starts and purple is where almost no one finishes. Records on the wall dating back to 1974 that still haven't been broken.How the point system works — every kid tracks their own progress, logs every test, and gets graded on improvement not just raw performance. Stars for progress, colored trunks for excellence. A 300-pound kid with a perfect attitude and an A in PE because he showed up and worked every single day.The PE assistants — eighth graders who apply in writing, get selected on citizenship and leadership not athleticism, and can lose their shirt for bad grades or bad behavior. Some of the shyest kids in school become the ones leading warm-ups for forty classmates.The records. A girl who ran a 12:27 two-mile as an eighth grader. A boy who did a thousand push-ups unbroken, in perfect form, over an hour. An eighth grade girl who did 143 push-ups and 36 bar dips in a single session. A kid who did 6,500 sit-ups starting at 9am.The mud obstacle course on the last dress-out day of the year. Bear crawls, hurdles, a mud pit, lame dogs, and a fire hose at the finish line.Why this would be nearly impossible to start from scratch today — and why admin support, teacher commitment, and parent buy-in are the three pillars that have kept it alive for fifty years.Alex's commitment on air: connecting Prescott with the folks working on the Presidential Fitness Test rollout.

Logan Holloman  |  Next Gen Pastor  |  July 19, 2026 9am   Referenced Scripture:  Romans 14:1–9, 2 Timothy 2:22–26   Reflection Questions: 1. Where do you see yourself most tempted to make secondary issues feel like primary issues?(Examples: politics, worship styles, parenting, schooling, spiritual gifts, cultural preferences, personal convictions.) Follow-up: Why do you think we are so quick to turn differences of conviction into judgments about someone's faith?   2. Romans 14:3 says, “God has accepted them.” How should remembering that God has welcomed someone change the way we approach believers who think differently than we do? Follow-up: What is the difference between "accepting" someone and simply "agreeing" with someone?   3. Paul says, “Who are you to judge someone else's servant?” (Romans 14:4). Where are you most tempted to take a role that belongs only to Jesus? Follow-up: What does it look like practically to trust Jesus as Lord over someone else's spiritual growth instead of trying to control it?   4. Romans 14:8 says, “Whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.” How does belonging to Jesus change the way we hold our convictions, opinions, and freedoms? Follow-up: What is one area where Jesus may be inviting you to move from being "right" toward being more like Him?   What's your next step?  Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

In many schools today, students hesitate to give class presentations. Not because of stage fright, but because they're afraid of being secretly recorded and mocked on social media. Principals across the country are spending their time managing the aftermath of incidents sparked by viral trends like "Ship or Dip" posts. Physical altercations between students are often filmed by bystanders and shared online, amplifying the harm. In this episode, Dr. Ruston visits a middle school in Washington State and sits down with Principal Zach to explore what happened when phones were allowed on campus and how things changed dramatically once new policies were put in place. Zach shares the powerful transformation his school has experienced, and how restorative practices are helping students learn healthier ways to resolve conflict.
