Real stories from real teachers!
My favorite episode thus far has been the Wilson episode after listening to Rachel's story about how she idolized her teachers growing up and how it inspired her to become a teacher. To then hear how those pressures have impacted the trajectory of Wilson's career in the education profession is such a great dichotomy.
