This episode is about as real as they come. We had a great discussion with Kristi about her educational journey. We discussed everything from toxic work environments to taking sick leave and navigating the choppy sea of parent communication.

Do you have students who are dealing with 'burnout'? What do we do, and how can we deal with student and teacher burnout? Listen to one of our very popular episodes.
 

Jen and Kim talk about why people smoke toad venom and that you should never steal your son's edible brownies and feed them to senior citizens (especially if he's a teacher).
Also, they give an update on Megan Fox's new engagement ring that is designed to hurt if she takes it off. Yes. This is true.
They tackle something we don't often talk about: student burnout and student refusal.
Kim talks about a book with the teacher binge eating while her students peep into her windows. Finally, Jen tells us the real story of Rip Van Winkle. We learn that you should never drink from a keg given to you by a stranger.

Jen passed her 'stand and deliver' for her new job. It was a lot of work and something to celebrate. Sadly, Kim's former husband has suffered a stroke, and it is devastating to her and her girls. Please send good thoughts their way. 
The topic is Snow Plow Parents and online grading. It's an important topic, and one that needs to be addressed.

We had a wonderful and insightful interview with Lauren Greener. She talks about how she became a teacher and her journey out of education.
 
All about Lauren:
I am an innovative leader and brand storyteller with highly developed design skills. My background is in education, where I gained 12 years of classroom experience developing students' language proficiency while embedding character education into my instructional practices and developing both language and character-related curricula. I work for Navigate360, specializing in curriculum design and lesson writing for our Suite360 Student product, which houses our SEL, Behavior Intervention & Restorative Practices, and Student Mental Health lesson libraries. Additionally, I get to lean on my strengths as an educator and extrovert by presenting in-house professional development to adult learners and customer-facing training and workshops on our products. Playing an active role in my company's culture is important to me. At Navigate360, I am a member of the Culture Advisory Board led by HR and I run a Slack channel that serves as an unofficial Employee Resource Group for former educators within the company.

Even if you are in the beginning of considering a career change, this series will inspire and motivate you to take the first steps toward that new life.

In this episode, Kim talks about her hatred of traffic circles, and Jen attempts to debunk the efficacy of deer whistles.
They discuss all the types of parents teachers deal with. Helicopter parents incessantly hover. Lawnmower parents clear the way for their children so they never need to problem-solve. Kim created the Wack a Mole parent who pops up out of nowhere and then disappears, only to pop up again months later to wreak havoc. Why do parents do this, and how can we work with them before we lose our sanity?

This episode is just what we need to get back inot the swing of things....

This one is coming in hot with the cell phones in the classroom discussion. Why aren't parents supporting teachers? Why are people attacking teachers for asking for cellphone policy support? Kim and Jen review some salty comments on Kim's Tik Tok and some solutions from Jen's Linkedin poll. There's also a rant or two from Kim..maybe three. 
Here is some sage advice for the new year: If you are going to be a douche canoe to teachers. leave nasty and ill-informed commentary, then you should homeschool. 
Stay TWISTED!!!

Lindsey tells us her story about her life as a teacher and the obstacles she overcame during a difficult time. 
She gives great advice on what not to do if you are a teacher trying to transition. 
It may be a holiday, but it's also a time for reflection if you need a life outside the classroom. and don't know where to start.
Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays! It's time for some true crime Twisted Teacher Style. 

In the early hours of Christmas Day in 1945, a devastating fire destroyed the Sodder family home in West Virginia. However, five of the Sodder children were nowhere to be found. Despite extensive searches and investigations, their fate remains unknown.

Belle Gunness, a Norwegian immigrant, is infamous for her alleged killing spree in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Operating from her farm in La Porte, Indiana, she lured unsuspecting suitors with the promise of love and then reportedly murdered them for financial gain.
