  • Twisted Topics: Staying in Education with Peter Myers

    Send us Fan Mail

    So, this is the interview that almost wasn’t.  Here is our interview with Peter Myers.  Peter was a high school math teacher who we were originally interviewing for our Staying in education series.  The day before we were set to record he canceled because of an incident that we will let him explain…he just wasn’t in the right headspace….understandably so just wait until you hear.   Things were so bad that he was almost our last interview for LEAVING education, but today he has some news that he is excited to share with us…..
    This interview is worth listening to. Peter is so kind, funny, and proves that there are great teachers out there.

  • Save a Teacher Lasso a Cowboy

    Send us Fan Mail

    Kim talks about her crossroads with instructional coaching and discusses why teachers may not be open to coaching. They revisit the pedophile commentary from John Rich and continue their tirade. He thinks it's ok to drink and drive, objectify women, and be sexually promiscuous in his songs, but he calls teachers out because there might be books he doesn't like in a school media center? They continue the discussion of stupid things people say with a review of dumb celebrity quotes. For Twisted Lit, Kim compares the challenged book, Strega Nona, with teaching.

  • Jane vs. the Four Day Work Week

    Send us Fan Mail

    Kim finds out she's on the review committee for challenged books, and Jen lives through Groundhog Day where she dissects the same data over and over and over-or maybe she's in a level of Dante's Inferno?
    They also give their response to a country singer comparing teachers to pedophiles.
    They discuss trends for over 40-year-old women. Gingham, pants under skirts, and popcorn textures-oh my!
    The review results from a poll given on Linked IN regarding the four-day workweek. They make a new online friend, Jane, who thinks teachers need to "do more to be better". They calmly discuss her opinions without any outbursts whatsoever.

  • Teachers' Bill of Rights

    Send us Fan Mail


    Jen and Kim have adapted their own bill of rights for teachers. If the parents have one, why can't educators? Then they create a fictitious world where there are fairy tale characters in our classrooms.  It's not too far off from reality. There are no sources for this episode since they made all this shit up.
    Stay Twisted and Laugh!
