Jen coined the term EDU-Villian. What is an edu-villian you ask?
"An individual, entity, policy or concept that, whether through intention or neglect, acts as an impediment to genuine learning, educational progress, or the well-being of students and educators."
Kim and Jen are coming in hot with some concerning issues plaguing the education system in Texas.
Texas may eliminate traditional libraries and replace them with designated spaces for disciplining students.
One school district in Texas recently took back a $2,000 bonus, leaving teachers feeling undervalued and disheartened.
Texas has a proposal to pay teachers based on the subjects they teach. This approach raises concerns about how certain subjects may be prioritized over others and how it could impact the overall quality of education.
Kim and Jen forgot to end the episode because they are middle-aged, forgetful, and started talking about other things whilst recording. So, STAY TWISTED!
