We are the Educators

In this episode (#52), the Educators tackle some hard truths. In Science in the News, they talk about a meteor hitting Antarctica. In From an Educator, they discuss "professional attitude", and how many teachers put on a show for students and staff. In Hard Truths, they do some introspection, and provide incentive to become a better person.

In this episode (#51), the Educators ask if they have been doing too much this year? The answer is of course "Yes", but  they go into detail why that is. In Science in the News there are a few space items, in From an Educator, they discuss parents and grading (currently they find themselves in a GradeGate controversy at school).

In our 50th episode, the Educators talk about the controversy over the Covid-19 vaccine, and if they will be getting it. In Science in the News, Covid-19 may still have elusive origins, and From and Educator talks about how a new trimester or a new class forces educators to adapt and try out new things.   Unfortunately this episode was cut short due to a computer losing power. It was the icing on the sour cake for the week. In the next episode, we will continue where we left off.

In this episode, Mr. James goes solo as Mr. Ritchie prepares for a materials-heavy trimester. Ebola makes its way into Science in the News, in From an Educator, there is mention of "prepping for the unknown", and Mr. James mentions how diversity helped to make this podcast (and why it is not a one-person show). Interspersed are Mr. Ritchie appearances to balance out the mix.
