The Episode of Big Reveals!!

Recess Has Gotten Better

It's almost Halloween! But Halloween does not come up once in this episode. What does come up, you ask? Oh- Red Ribbon Week/DARE, shoes off in the classroom, the upcoming election, and as always - RECESS (but not in the way you think it will...). In the afternoon, we answer a burning listener question: "What did teachers do in your experience as students that you try to avoid doing now?" And as always, we have... OPINIONS! Don't be late. Come to the carpet!!!

Why Is It Negative To Be Honest?

Did you miss us? Welcome back to the carpet! Tune in this week to hear us be HONEST about how we are "doing". It's like when people ask you, "how are you" and expect a generic response, and you give them the truth. That's this episode. Topics include how the pandemic changed us as teachers, space in the classroom, and we ultimately reveal ourselves to be... Hamilton stans. Don't be late! Come to the carpet!
