Last week, a video on Kim’s small Tik Tok account has reached over100K views. Kim is on the ledge and Jen assures her all will be well. They talk about when the statute of limitations is up for daylight saving times excuses. How long will it take to change the clock in your classroom?
Listen, laugh, and stay twisted everyone!

Kim finds out she’s on the review committee for challenged books, and Jen lives through Groundhog Day where she dissects the same data over and over and over-or maybe she’s in a level of Dante’s Inferno?
They also give their response to a country singer comparing teachers to pedophiles.
They discuss trends for over 40-year-old women. Gingham, pants under skirts, and popcorn textures-oh my!
The review results from a poll given on Linked IN regarding the four-day workweek. They make a new online friend, Jane, who thinks teachers need to “do more to be better”. They calmly discuss her opinions without any outbursts whatsoever.

Jen and Kim talk about drunk skiers and mean media specialists. They review the phrases of 2022 that we need to stop saying. No worries if you are adapting to the new normal.

Have a laugh and a great week!

oshua talked to Kim and Jen about his journey from education to the world outside the classroom. He talks about his side hustle as a bartender to make ends meet. He also gives real and tactical advice to teachers who are wanting to move forward, but who are needing some guidance and support. 
You can find Joshua on Linked In where he can work with you on building your resume and preparing for interviews.

Here’s a whirlwind of a story that reminds us that we need to take care of ourselves regardless of the promises made to us and the circumstances we are faced with.

She talks about her journey in education and why she left. Also happy to help give advice to other teachers thinking about leaving the profession.

Go shopping and treat yourself!

Jen and Kim talk about it all.  There was a Kramer sighting dealing with a jalapeno popper. They discuss parent control, year-long lesson plans, and teacher salaries. They also share a couple of banned books and their thoughts about them. Jen was recovering from Covid during the recording of this episode. It seems she may have forgotten she was doing a podcast whilst doing a podcast. 
Stay Twisted, Yall!

Jen and Kim discuss teaching the words ‘aphrodisiac” and ‘impotent’ to high school students. Jen tells about an unfortunate F BOMB dropped on a recording she accidentally submitted on a test. It wouldn’t be a Twisted Teacher episode without an update about Ben Affleck. Kim finds herself in a tiny tirade about why kids are watching Euphoria while their parents are banning books.  They also discuss the disconnect between school districts and the teachers. Is it really ok to have parents pop in your classroom whenever they want to check on their kids? Is it ok for parents to require a list of books a teacher may have in his/her classroom? Is it ok for the district to let parents run our education system?

Kim and Jen take a few minutes to review the fashion trends for 2022. Some are a hard no, and others, they are considering. Jen tells her tale about her ho underwear, and Kim reminisces about her Shaun Cassidy pants and the sad replacement of Mork and Mindy jeans.

Jen and Kim have adapted their own bill of rights for teachers. If the parents have one, why can’t educators? Then they create a fictitious world where there are fairy tale characters in our classrooms.  It’s not too far off from reality. There are no sources for this episode since they made all this shit up.
Stay Twisted and Laugh!
