Those Who Can't Teach Anymore

I’m an experienced educator who left the classroom (add me to the ranks of leavers who are happier and less stressed, by the way). I saw so much of my experience in this podcast, but it also gave me new things to think about. I’m recommending it to other teachers I know, but what I *really* hope is that non-teachers, especially policy makers, to listen. It is really difficult to “get” what’s hard about teaching unless you’ve done it.

I really enjoyed the first season of this show, but hearing an ad paid for by AIPAC that advocates for even more violent conflict in the Middle East at the start of the second season immediately scared me away from listening to anymore. Absolutely not the messaging I want or expect from this sort of series.

An engaging and insightful look at modern education. Couldn’t think of a better choice of host as Fournier is not only an excellent podcaster, but he was unquestionably one of the greatest teachers I could have asked for. Highly recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to see the behind the scenes on education from a host who has changed lives as an educator. Keep up the great work sir!

This was an excellent podcast! As a former teacher, I found myself nodding my head so much in agreement. It was reassuring to hear things I felt in private expressed out loud. Teachers need to hear this. You are not alone!
