We are the Educators

In this episode, the Educators attempt to run a video feed while recording the podcast. It works mostly (until the end).

They talk about potential plans for the new school year, what their district is doing, and how teachers should adapt to the new normal.

The Educators talk about trust and relationships, after current events are discussed. A new " I need to Rant" segment is added, and Mr. Ritchie makes full use of it!

The Educators welcome Season 2 (our summer season), with a few audio issues, and a cut out in the middle that required some editing. In Season 2, new segments will appear, and an improved audio experience will be had--- but not in this episode. Also, keep updated for when the website drops.

In this episode, the Educators talk about Covid 19 updates in the state of Maine, the importance of public education, why we still have jobs, and our drive to keep teaching.

The Educators take on the hefty subject of racism, and talk about critical thinking, and how generalization hurts everyone when emotions and heuristics place people into categories.

Disclaimer: We air on the side of science.

The Educators weigh in on some heavy subject matter. As usual, Covid 19 updates, with some heat towards those who neglect the science. "Space Day" was 5/17/2020, when Space X was sending U.S. astronauts to space (now rescheduled for 5/30/2020). Transhumanism is a futurist movement that focuses on life extension, and in this first part, the originators and the big question is asked.

Enjoy!
