A Science teacher and a language discuss episode 3 of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, where a plant metaphor becomes reality and then becomes a jumping off point for a discussion about how to teach with respect, empathy, and patience. Not just for our students but for ourselves. Also what is the deal with Kyle? Sofia has a mind-blowing theory about his potential secret origins. Brian explains how to teach a kid how to lose, and boy does he have a lot of experience on the subject! Thanks for listening!
