They explore the way it is currently done and how it possibly should be done. Should teachers get PTO or should they have to continue choosing sick vs. personal? Should mental health days be a third category added to the mix? Whether you agree or disagree, let's talk about it. Let us know what you think.

Today’s episode begins at 18:48, so if our banter and chatting isn’t your thing and you want to get right into it we totally understand. Enjoy the case. 

On April 1, 2023, in Red Lion, Pennsylvania, 12-year-old Kain Heinland was with friends Nolan Grove, 13, and Miles Belleman. Nolan had his father’s loaded pistol, which he displayed and played with throughout the day, while Miles had a BB gun. Later, Nolan pointed the gun at Kain multiple times, which led to a fatal shot to Kain’s back as they walked through a neighbor’s yard. Nolan and Miles fled, with Nolan eventually calling his father, while Miles' parents contacted 911. Despite initial charges being delayed, Nolan faced trial for third-degree murder and other charges, with Kain’s family seeking justice.. Nolan, charged as an adult, could face a minimum of 40 years in prison.

In this episode of "Teachers Who Talk Crime," hosts Ashleigh and Brooke dive into restorative practices from the teacher's perspective. They explore how restorative practices are supposed to prioritize repairing harm, resolving conflicts, and building relationships within communities. This approach emphasizes empathy, communication, and accountability rather than punishment if done correctly. Whether you're a teacher, parent, or just interested in the educational system, this episode offers a candid look at the new principles at place, humor, and challenges that come with not implementing practicing correctly in schools.

Today’s episode starts at 18:00. As always we are chatting in the beginning and we hope you listen along and chat back with us. 

Trigger Warning: This case does involve a school shooting and we want to make sure our listeners know this before proceeding. If this is not your type of case we totally understand and we hope you come back next week. 

In 1978 school shootings were unheard of. They didn’t happen. Kids didn’t live in fear while getting their education, but on May 18, 1978 a new fear was unlocked at Murchison Junior High School in Austin, Texas. John Daniel Christian walked into his 8th grade English class and shot his teacher, Mr. Rod Grayson in the head, chest and arm. What followed would be unspeakable in today’s time. Listen for the chilling details of how these actions played out.
