Chris and Rolland reflect on their first week of school. It turns out that teachers are more than teachers, there are many layers to the student-teacher-parent relationship, and some baseball talk. The guys would love to hear from you ([email protected]) about what community events you attend (if you are a teacher) to see your students in another light. If you are a parent, how would you feel if your child's teacher wanted to attend one of their extra curricular activities? You can listen to the podcast here.
