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.

District Disconnect and Parents’ Bill of RIghts

Posted in Comedy, Education, Teaching by

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-w8jab-11bbf3e

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?

Teachers’ Bill of Rights

Posted in Comedy, Education, Teaching by

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-mqfme-11bbf19

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!
