This old school educational trick could change your classroom…

Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon are meeting in the dojo on this week's episode of Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers. In a world so focused on grades and tangible achievements, we often forget to ask what's best for education? This week they are going to go over odd classroom tendencies that teachers claim are absolute game changers for education. 

Now we all know that education is hyper focused on subjects like math and science, but do you think that it would be more beneficial to focus on encouraging creativity to shape their young minds? Today our hosts are going to be discussing the pros and cons of sending your kids to a specialized art school and how it can impact their overall education.

Speaking of alternative ways of teaching, we got news of one teacher who decided it was a good idea to teach karate in their classroom. Now we don't want to give away too much, but the results were interesting to say the least. Not only does it teach valuable skills, but it also helps release their built-up energy (and maybe some frustration, too). 

Finally, have we strayed too far from tradition? Far gone are the days of using pen and paper and looking at physical report cards. With the rise of technology, are students and parents losing valuable skills, or is technology innovating education? Tune in to hear our take!
