    Episode 42: Open House Blues

    Teaching with cancer; open house needs structure or parents will annoy the crap out of the teacher; is open school night even necessary? The benefits of teaching elementary kids and how memorable you are for them, the shooting at Apalachee High School and the warning signs that are always there; how much we wanted to help start mental health programs but didn’t get much support; how ineffective the drug and alcohol prevention programs are; we play a game where DeAndre guesses who said an insane quote: a parent or admin.

    Episode 41: Can you go back to teaching after running for your life?

    Lauren and DeAndre discuss the job search outside of teaching and the thoughts that creep in about finding a school with supportive admin. and decent student behavior to work at. Is this even a possibility or wishful thinking? Are we too damaged from past experiences and literal PTSD? We also share experiences from teaching in fancy private schools then we talk about the administrator who was blinded by a student and the school staff who thought dressing up as Mexican stereotypes was a good idea.

    Episode 40: Teaching While Queer

    On this episode, we talk to Bryan, a teacher with teaching experience both in secondary settings and post-secondary schools. As a queer teacher, Bryan has faced many challenges with acceptance and understanding while teaching in Los Angeles, Texas, and New York City. These experiences led him to create an organization and podcast called Teaching While Queer. The goal is to create safe schools and communities where every educator can teach, every family can belong, and every child can learn regardless of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. The podcast tells the personal stories of dozens of queer teachers and school staff members.

    Episode 39: Burned Out Teacher Creates AI for Teachers

    Lauren and DeAndre talk to Zohar, a teacher with multiple certifications, including Special Ed., who moved to NYC from the Middle East and ended up leaving before the end of her first year. The pressure and pace at the elite private school she taught at took a significant toll on her mental and physical health, and she found herself wondering if there was a way to make all the paperwork included in teaching easier. After being unexpectedly forced out of the country, Zohar decided to pursue the idea of AI specifically for teachers. After winning a scholarship to develop her product in Italy, she is ready to share Zozo, the teacher's AI assistant, with the world.  Visit zozosolutions.com to learn more and use code TEACHERMISERY15 for 15% off!

    Episode 38: Is The Way We Teach Reading Completely Wrong?

    On this episode, Lauren and DeAndre talk to Dr. Irene Daria, a developmental psychologist and author of the new book I Didn't Believe Him. Irene is a reading specialist for children of famous stars such as Kate Winslet and Tom Brady. We talk about how she realized her younger son was not being taught how to read properly at one of the most elite private schools in NYC, leading her to research how children learn to read independently. What she discovered is shocking and quite alarming. According to Irene, the way most schools teach young children how to read is completely wrong, and many Special Ed. kids are misdiagnosed because of it.  If you love our podcast, please rate us five stars, and visit teachermisery.com and teachermiseryshop.com.
