In this episode of Beards and Banter, we welcome Justin Parmenter, an English teacher, education advocate, and blogger with a knack for making waves. We dive headfirst into the ever-present debate on politics in public schools, exploring the challenges and opportunities it presents.

But it's not all serious business! We also reminisce about our most treasured (and maybe slightly cringe-worthy) school memories. Then, Justin spills the hilarious (and slightly disastrous) tea on a past classroom experiment. So, sharpen your pencils, dust off your textbooks, and get ready for an episode packed with laughs, learning, and a cautionary tale about the perils of competitive fungi with Beards and Banter!
