  • First season was good but….

    First season was really good. The second season was….well let’s just say it made it was obvious where the author’s personal views were coming from. Which is fine but skewed towards that side.

    I’m an ex teacher. I left in 2023 after 15 years. I left for many reasons, kids and parents terrible behavior, school more concerned with test results etc.

    The thing that really broke the camels back was that we have switched from teaching how to think to telling how to think. Yes, teachers do have an ag... more

  • Tone deaf, racist

    This show’s hypocrisy really came to a head for me in episode 2, inheritance. They talk about the evils of Indian Boarding Schools and how teachers used their power to destroy certain cultures. They mention how Indian parents had no control over what and how their children were taught. A great evil perpetuated, no doubt.

    Then in the same breath, they complain about how modern parents want input into what’s taught in their children’s schools. The irony is that for Indians, it was okay to care w... more

  • A veteran teacher, who won more than one award, during 32 years of service in the public schools.

    This podcast is authentic and informative. I’m currently, a volunteer, working in a community school, outside of the United States. These podcasts are extremely therapeutic. For anyone who cares, about the future of the public school system, this is a good resource. Listen and take notes. It’s all real. Things need to evolve and change, in order to provide, free and appropriate education, now and into the future.
