    Happy Indigenous People's Day! We are very excited to have ADMINISTRATOR Ryan Morgan on the show today! Ryan works at an alternative recovery program in cooperation with various districts, so hearing his perspective on what education looks like for him is truly fascinating.

    As we say each episode, please don't hesitate to reach out, comment, share, like, or challenge anything about the show - we love the feedback and appreciate the interaction.

    Hey hey - we're back for another episode as we cruise through the first month of school. Today we repeatedly come back to the idea of common curtesies in both the field of education and life in general.

    As we've said, we always love to hear from you, so please don't hesitate to comment, share, like, suggest, or correct. We're happy to bring your thoughts and ideas to the forefront.

    Thanks for listening! #education #twoteachers #highschoolteachers #educationalhumor #whatarewetalkingabout

  • Taboos of Lunch

    Hey hey - back for another episode as we reach the midway point of September! Today we cover a wide range of topics, including human etiquette, books, lunch choices, and even a potential conspiracy!

    We do have a question of the week today, so pay attention for that and please let us know what your thoughts are and, as always, if we misspeak about anything! We're so happy to be back and we fully know that your support and engagement is helping to make that happen.

    Thanks for listening, try not to take us too seriously, and please share, comment, follow, etc. Enjoy! #whatarewetalkingabout #twoteachers #highschoolteachers #taboosoflunch #educationalhumor

    We're baaaccckkk! So excited for Season 3 of the podcast - hard to believe that summer is over (for us teachers) and that we're back to school. Today, Bill and Brian talk about the first week back, along with some stories of Bill's wild summer up in the backwoods of Maine!

    As always, we appreciate your support, feedback and comment, so please don't hesitate to reach out and let us know how we're doing!

    Congratulations to all the teachers out there as we enter the home stretch of the school year! Today, we talk about our end of the year, reflecting back on some of the highs and lows of the year, while making sure to get in our fill of nonsense!

    Though this may be the last episode of the school year, it won't be the final episode of the year! We plan to get together over the summer to put a show together, as well as connect with some others to help provide some new and refreshing perspectives!

    Thank you so much for anyone listening, commenting, subscribing, spreading the word, and even correcting us! We so appreciate your willingness to listen to our weird thoughts, but we have a blast while doing it, and you make the possible for us! Thanks for a fun school year and we hope you all have a well earned and relaxing summer holiday! #summerholiday #whatarewetalkingabout #twoteachers #highschool #educationalhumor #endofschool

  • The Penultimate!

    It's already Memorial Day and we hope that you've taken some time to reflect, mourn, and appreciate the many who have served and sacrificed their lives for all of us!

    Today, we talk a little bit about the end of the (school) year and what that means for us in the classroom, as well as get into some of Bill's unique book choices. We're in disbelief that this is the second to last episode of the season, but we're having fun in the process, and hope you are as well along with us.

    Thanks again for your continued support and contributions - don't forget to send us a comment, spread the word, or even correct us on our inevitable wrong takes!

    Happy belated Mother's Day and Teacher Appreciation Week!

    Once again, we share an assortment of random, but somewhat topical discussions. Vacations, dress codes, pet peeves, and national educational class sizes are all covered!

    We only have few episodes left before the end of the school year, so if there's a topic you'd like us to converse about or, more likely, hear a mistake, call us out! Hit us up on Instagram @wawta_podcast or drop a comment!

    Sincerely, thanks for listening! #twoteachers #highschool #whatarewetalkingabout #educationaldiscussions #teacherpetpeeves #educationalhumor

    Welcome back from April break, everyone! We are finally in the home stretch of the school year, with just mere weeks remaining! Today, we discuss some teaching practices in terms of student/teacher rapport, assessments, and typing fonts!

    We appreciate your continued support and always look forward to your feedback, both constructive and critical! Please help us grow by spreading the word. #twoteachers #educationalhumor #highschoolteachers #Aprilbreak #whatarewetalkingabout #wawtapodcast

    Happy spring and welcome to another installment of this fantastical journey! Today, we speak a little bit about Jonathan Haidt's (NOT Waidt) book The Anxious Generation (see link below to get your own copy - we do not have any affiliation with the book, but are strong supporters of its message!). In addition, we talk about student apathy and a few other observations about the education world.

    The audio should be a whole lot better this episode, but we appreciate you sticking around! #twoteachers #highschool #educationalhumor #studentapathy #theanxiousgeneration

    It's another episode and another struggle with our audio. Not that you care, but one of the microphones we were using died about 15 minutes into the episode, so once again, we find ourselves floundering auditorily. Either way, we are excited to have you with us for another bit of academic banter.

    Only a few more weeks until April break (or holiday!), but still plenty of happenings in the educational world. Please reach out and let us know if there's a topic you'd love to hear us chat about, or if you want to just put us in our place. We welcome any and all feedback!

    Subscribe, follow, share, click, listen, join, and anything else you can do to help us continue to grow and hopefully entertain!
