In this episode of Twisted Teachers, we're diving headfirst into two hot-button education topics that have educators and parents buzzing:

📵 Phone-Free High Schools:
What happens when schools leap to ban cell phones completely? We explore the growing trend of phone-free campuses, the backlash, and the research backing it—especially Jonathan Haidt’s new book The Anxious Generation, which links rising teen anxiety and social disconnection to smartphone use. 

🛒 The School Supplies Controversy:
It’s that time again—back-to-school shopping. But this year, some parents are pushing back. From complaints about lengthy, detailed lists to accusations that schools are overstepping their bounds, we break down the rising tension between schools and parents over who should be responsible for basic classroom needs.

Jen and Kim take a deep dive into the series' first book. Listen and stay twisted!

The first met him in a dream. And now, weeks before she marries someone else, he's appeared in real life.

I’ve spent my entire life hiding what I can do. The things I know. Until the day Nick Reilly walks into my hospital room.

Nick—the man I've been dreaming about for as long as I can remember. I know everything about him, as if we spent an entire lifetime together, and I know I loved him in a way I’ve never loved anyone else...including my fiancé.

Even stranger? Nick’s been dreaming about me too.

Working with him to unravel the puzzle might save me, but the attraction between us could destroy us both.

Just like it did before.

Here we go!
Jen and Kim give a very thorough review of this book.
The Southern Book Club' Guide to Slaying Vampires
From Amazon Description:
Steel Magnolias meets Dracula in this New York Times best-selling horror novel about a women's book club that must do battle with a mysterious newcomer to their small Southern town.

Patricia Campbell’s life has never felt smaller. Her husband is a workaholic, her teenage kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she’s always a step behind on her endless to-do list. The only thing keeping her sane is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime. At these meetings they’re as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are about their own families.

One evening after book club, Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the neighbor's handsome nephew, James Harris, into her life. James is well traveled and well read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn’t felt in years. But when children on the other side of town go missing, their deaths written off by local police, Patricia has reason to believe James Harris is more of a Bundy than a Brad Pitt. The real problem? James is a monster of a different kind—and Patricia has already invited him in. 
 
Little by little, James will insinuate himself into Patricia’s life and try to take everything she took for granted—including the book club—but she won’t surrender without a fight in this blood-soaked tale of neighborly kindness gone wrong.

Hello Twisted Listeners!
In this episode, Jen and Kim talk about the history of education. They start with the one-room schoolhouse  (with a digression about Pa from Little House on the Prairie) and end up with current-day education. They have anecdotes that may or may not have anything to do with the topic. The question is "Have schools ever put the needs of children first?"
Stay Twisted!
