    What Have We Learned So Far?

    Over the years of experience we share, we believe we—nor anyone else—who teaches are never truly experts in the teaching arts. For anyone to be honest and forthright in this vocation (used rather than occupation—there is a HUGE difference), they must admit there is always more to learn, even if it is more nuanced than overt in various areas.   Over the past three years, we’ve had the privilege of reflecting, pausing, and learning from each other, as well as conducting insightful interviews with our generous guests. This learning journey has been shared, and we’re grateful for your part in it, our valued audience.   As we take a break for the summer months, we will reflect on and consider how we will proceed.

    Dr. Lincoln Stoller: Are Schools Relevant?

    Dr. Lincoln Stoller:  Are Schools Relevant?    A PhD in Quantum Physics, a Teacher, Mountaineer, Hypnotherapist, and EEG Neurofeedback Therapist - Lincoln Stoller has an incredible background. He has a Ph.D. in quantum physics, is a teacher, mountaineer, hypnotherapist, and EEG neurofeedback therapist, and was mentored by the late John Taylor Gatto, who influenced many of his views.     Today, we have the unique opportunity to tap into Dr. Stoller's wealth of knowledge and experience. He serves as a mentor, guiding us to consider alternative perspectives on education.  Are we on the right path?  Should there be only one path or many?  What are the system's strengths and weaknesses?  Or should we start from scratch?    Dr. Stoller has written several books and a blog and has a great deal to say on the subject and others.  You can find more about him, as well as his contact information at:    Dr. Stoller’s Substack: https://mindstrengthbalance.substack.com/ Dr. Stoller’s Webpage: https://www.mindstrengthbalance.com/ The Learning Project: Rites of Passage (free copy) as a gift from Dr. Stoller to you.

    Growing Absenteeism - Is There Hope?

    The Growing Problem of Absenteeism in Schools Understanding the reasons behind the growing issue of school absenteeism is crucial. It's a problem causing concern in schools, states, and communities. Chronic absenteeism rates are increasing, and it's essential to know why. According to the New York Times, there are various reasons—from family vacations (should kids be able to finish their work remotely?) to the need for extra income at home, illness, and other excuses.     If you’re curious about checking out your local district, click here. In the article, you'll see how your district is doing.     Statistics indicate that attendance is crucial to a student's future success. It's not just about showing up but about active engagement and participation in the school process. This is a stark reminder of the urgency of tackling the issue of absenteeism in schools.   https://www.opb.org/article/2024/04/02/oregon-school-districts-chronic-absenteeism-rate/ We were pretty shocked at our findings, and still, even after recording, there is more smacking us in the face!     What’s going on?  #ChronicAbsenteeism #AbsenteeisminAmerica #Nonattendanceinschools #ImpactofAbsencesinEducation #SchoolsinCrisis #StudentEngagement #StudentInvolvement #WhyStudentsAttend #ImpactofSchoolLeaders #ImpactofTeachers #ImpactofPrincipals #StudentAchievement #AlternativeEducationPodcast #EducationalPodcast #EducationalIssues #ImpactofAbsenteeismonSchoolFinance #TeacherTraining

    Are Schools to Blame for Falling Reading and Math Scores?

    Who is to blame for our children’s failing reading, writing, and math scores? The schools? Parents? The community? In blaming schools, are parents and the community shifting blame for their lack of effort to properly commit their time and resources to their children to be successful?

    Changing Graduation Requirements

    When our students proudly cross the stage, diploma in hand, what have they accomplished?  Is it a mere testament to their 12-year attendance, or have they truly absorbed knowledge?  Will they thrive beyond academia, or will they seek further enlightenment elsewhere?  What, indeed, have they learned? And how can we be certain of their learning without effective assessment?

    Is Education a Cesspool of Hypocrisy?

    Certain aspects of education can be quite unsettling, whether you’re a teacher, parent, or student. Could it be that we’re all just victims of a pervasive form of gaslighting—a term that seems to apply to almost everything these days?
