Tammy has been an educator for the past 32 years, spending 31 of those years in the same classroom. She was Jason's teacher in the early 1990's and has taught a few of his children already with another on his way to middle school. Mrs. Marcum likes structure in the classroom and truly loves what she does for a living.

She grew up right beside Highway 421 in Sand Gap Kentucky and everything in life was within an eighth of a mile from her house. Her grandparents,friends,the local grocery,and church were all in walking distance of her house. She tells of her dad giving swimming lessons,playing in the woods, and the reason she was no good at hunting and fishing.

The reason for approaching Tammy for an interview was because of Josslynn doing a small interview and stating that Mrs. Marcum was her favorite teacher and the reason why. Included at the end of this episode you can hear for yourself, Joss's thoughts on Mrs. Marcum and life in middle school.
