April 28, 2024 Episode 1: Ranting, Raving, and Rescuing: Just another day as a teacher.
Due to a massive head cold and horrid sounding voice, I have to give you a fond memory this week instead of a new episode. See you next week with Episode 17! Episode 1 seems like so long ago! Welcome to Episode 1 of The Gen X Teacher! I hope all generations (OK, maybe not Alphas) will enjoy this podcast...even if you're not a teacher OR a Gen Xer. This week I rant, rave, and experience a We Are Teachers rescue AND interviewee number one stops by for a fun conversation about throwing chairs. Don't miss out!
