  • Episode 18 - What We Miss About Teaching at School with Erin and Shane.

    We're both stuck at home and pining for the staffroom so we thought we'd reflect on what we miss about physically going to school and stuff  ......at least Erin can console herself with the fact that her mum is worse at technology than she is.   Cue digression concerning gardening and Shane's pet chicken.
