Sat, 11 Oct 2025 12:00:00 GMT

Breaking news! Tennessee apparently does not understand why teachers do not keep teaching or why they do not want to become teachers. They think it is because it is too difficult to get and renew a license....wrong!

Today's episode I will be talking about teacher associations and which one I belong to and why. I also need to communicate my regulars, that I will be shifting episode frequency to every other week. Sorry to those of you who look forward to these on a weekly basis, but I need some more prep time. I actually intended for this to always be a bi-weekly podcast, but I got a little too excited and started pushing out every week. Thanks for understanding.

"I Thrive Under a Lack of Accountability" - Michael Scott

Sat, 12 Jul 2025 12:00:00 GMT

We aim to strike a nerve with teachers and admin on this one. While it's nice to not "feel" micromanaged, to be a team, we all need to pull our weight. This means some teachers might need a little more supervision than others.

Who Are You?

Sat, 28 Jun 2025 19:59:00 GMT

This past week in Tennessee, some people questioned if the state knew who exactly was receiving school vouchers for the upcoming year and other questions, like how many and in what districts, etc. The current state administration didn't have any answers. This is a problem.

How Low Can You Go?

Sat, 14 Jun 2025 12:00:00 GMT

It seems like we keep lowering behavior standards and academic standards in education all of the time to either appease a group of people or inflate our district's and/or school's success. How low is too low?
