This Is Why I'm Crying

For the first time, we have a former student (and biggest fan of the pod) join for our 22nd episode! Raymond shares his insight on life as a student now and some great stories from his K-12 years!

Fall is in full swing and we have an amazing guest to shed some light on not only the changing world of post-secondary education but also the realities of raising children in the rapid technological advances we are seeing every single day. This is a great episode with an old friend and we hope you enjoy!

The school year took a turn a busy turn but we are back! Resting and recovering through the summer means getting back to recording and sharing some stories. We talk new hobbies, big changes, and steps forwards. More new episodes to come!

To end off the year we have a special guest from DancED Movement Project! Andrea joins us for a great conversation about the amazing benefits the Arts and how teaching at over 200 schools has shaped her career as an educator. A perfect way to end 2025!

Not enough mics, educational insight, a lot of laughs, and everything inbetween (including awkward silences) from three collegues and friends of the podcast. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did recording this episode.

We are back for a brand new season/school year at This is Why I'm Crying and we are already getting thrown some curveballs. We talk starting up the year, reasons we love our jobs, and the complexity of going on strike as a teacher. We are sorry it's been a while but we are back and ready to get this new school year going with you all!

It's been a while! The whole gang is together for a end of the school year recap! After a slight hiatus with the madness of the May and June, past guests and a brand new one have come together to talk about the good, bad, and messy parts of their own year. We hope you are enjoying the summer as much as we are!

We are back and swinging with a new episode and a NEW GUEST! This episode is all about what makes a school a place you want to be, no matter if you're a student OR a teacher. We are joined by a co-worker who speaks on her experience going to high school in Texas and what can make-or-break a teacher wanting to stay at a school. LOTS to dig in on this episode so enjoy!
