these 2 are so funny, educational, interesting, entertaining, and smart all at once! my favorite podcast ever.
I loved episode 87! I truly appreciate it how Casey talked about the use of standardized testing with students, having boys that never do well on them, but are really good students make standardized testing a difficult one for me and I appreciated his take.
