Today we’re talking about a little controversy. A teacher recently went viral for having students unbraid his hair on TikTok Live. A lot of people are coming for him online and –even though it’s not ideal– it’s a really complicated and nuanced situation.

What’s the point of school? No really, what’s the point? When a student walks across that stage to get their diploma, what should we – as teachers – have imparted to them? Today we’re getting into what we think the most important lessons are. Turns out, it’s more about critical thinking than calculus. Patreon: patreon.com/teacherquittalk Frazz: tik…

This episode turned out to be an inspo session, which is rare for us. Today, Chanea Bond is here to break down the realities of 'honors' classes. A lot of times, ‘honors' is less about smarts and more about thriving in classrooms without the distraction of behavioral issues. Mrs. Bond lives by the credo 'It's not you, it's the system’ and is here t…

There can be a lot of reasons you might want to transition out of the classroom. The good thing is that teaching equips you with a lot of transferable skills. Problem solving, project management, group communication, the list goes on and on. Some jobs out there may require additional degrees and certifications but many actually don’t! We’re used to…

Grad school isn’t worth it. Unfortunately, both of us are going. Graduate enrollment is on the decline because it's just not being incentivized. We did some “investigative journalism” and found that in most places the pay bump isn’t significant. In our opinion, you should only go if you can make a spreadsheet showing that the money you're investing…

This week’s guest teaches *dun dun dun* middle school! According to WhenNerdsTeach, the key to being a successful jr. high teacher seems to be actually liking and caring about the kids. Who knew!
