They're giving new teachers $10,000 just for starting!?

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they reveal the best news student teachers have gotten since the invention of the scantron! Speaking of scantrons, apparently in the modern day of social media and AI, it's easier than ever to pass your test with flying colors. And finally they break through the red tape of education and finally get their official teaching badge.

How would you like to have 10,000 dollars? Well apparently in Pennsylvania, because of a teacher shortage, they are paying student teachers a minimum 10,000 dollars stipend! Where was that when I was a student teacher?

You know what's more frustrating than going to the DMV? Getting your official teaching badge apparently! In some districts, just to get a plastic badge, you need to fill out a pile of paperwork, take fingerprints, make a blood sacrifice, and give up your left kidney. All for something that could literally be given to you when you walk in for work.

Finally we follow up with the latest Tik Tok trend, how to cheat on an exam. We're officially past the days of writing test answers on your palm, nowadays students share exam answers and essay prompts on social media, and use Chat GPT to write their essays for them! What are teachers doing in response to this? Tune in to find out!

So change up that answer key, and don't forget your well earned educators badge, and tune in to this week's episode of Crying in my Car, a podcast for teachers!
