Are we being too rough on the new guys? 

 

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they ask the question, what are these older teachers' problems with the new guys? We also have a secret technique that teachers can use to destroy the competition on field day. Finally how did a couple of teachers just get cheated out of 2,000 bucks just because the school board didn't send out an email?

We all hope for a warm reception whenever we start a new job, unfortunately not all veteran teachers are as welcoming to new teachers as others. We’ve had plenty of experience with this, but luckily they're not all bad stories, for every crotchety educator there is an obi wan esque teacher ready to share their lessons and stories. However, it's more funny to talk about the former rather than the latter right? 

We all know about field day right? We look forward to it every year, and let us tell you what, those kids aren't ready for the competition. Devin shares a hilarious story on how he used underhanded tactics to sweep the competition. Tune in to find out exactly how he did it and maybe you can use it in your next field day. 

Now us teachers don’t get enough credit and sometimes we really need some good news. Well one school district gave a whopping 2,000 dollar bonus to any teachers who returned to their classroom in the fall! Which is awesome news, however they neglected to let anyone know, therefore taking away any initiative to actually come back in the fall. We don't know about you but we feel like writing an email would have been a pretty decent idea to make this initiative work.
