Warning: there is a whole lot of free speech in the form of colorful language here.  Please do not listen with children nearby. You have been warned.

When Rodrigo and I get together, we can talk for hours.  So I have to edit a lot.  I just can't move on unless I get Costco off my mind.  And then we have a short discussion on myths of education.

We have a small audio latency problem for no apparent reason and we roll with it.  No we are not on drugs.

I wanted to talk about Allen Iverson's Hall of Fame speech, Rodrigo about Narcos, and then me about The Get Down.

Enjoy a faster paced, more jovial podcast.

My first interview, an impromptu interview, of Memo Flores.  It's during our summer break of 2016, and I ask a simple question, "What have you been doing with your summer?" I am surprised to find out that he has agreed to be in a documentary called 77 Minutes (by director Charlie Minn), about the San Ysidro Massacre of 1984.

If you are in San Diego, I urge you to see the movie.

Thanks for listening

Me with my thought on traditional vs integrated sequencing in math, experience using the CPM textbook, medical marijuana in Chula Vista, and the Yuba City Teacher Strike.  I am still working out the kinks on editing and delivery. I use the "okay" or some variation as a poor transition about 100 times. My apologies for that.

Hope you enjoy. Reach me on Twitter @czareff.

 

Thanks.

This episode, Rodrigo and I introduce ourselves and jump into the two pillars of the show: education and talking mess.  We let you know where were from, how we came to be teachers, and dive into Rodrigo's world of afterschool programs.
