    In this episode Troy and Steve discuss an episode in which Troy interpolates meaning from his kid's comments on classroom activities. It's a wild ride into the meaning one projects onto the blanks slates that all teachers are.
    Or something like that...

    Episode 97: Teaching managers to manage teachers

    Episode 97: Teaching managers to manage teachers

    If you want something done right, then sometimes you have to do it yourself. But if what you want done is for someone to do your job for you, then that's kind of moot. Perhaps what you want to do is be mute, and let them do it for you.

    Episode 95: Graduation Day

    Pomp!
    Circumstance!
    Flowing Gowns!

    So, come along with us while we throw our hats in the air and take selfies until our faces feel frozen as we stride across the stage in our best frock coats, frilly cravats and shiny buckled riding boots.
    BTW, 'pomp' is a rather silly sounding word. Seriously. Say it aloud to yourself.
    'Pomp'
