  • Even before the pandemic lock-downs, American teachers from sea to shining sea reported a critical shortage of teachers within their ranks, and have watched in horror at the crippling levels of greed, arrogance, apathy, and ignorance at every level of K-12 educational governance.While embattled teachers have continued to try in vain to draw attention to the issues, our leaders have failed to acknowledge the problems at all. But since covid, the nation’s teachers have borne witness to a break neck hastening pace of this downward spiral–and a total avoidance of a conversation from our leaders.


    This a-political podcast, created and produced exclusively by teachers, gets into the nitty gritty details of why teachers are leaving the profession in droves, and uncovers huge contributing structural problems baked into the teaching profession which are not discussed or understood even within the K-12 educational world, which also explain why so much of what is done in K-12 is ineffective. These desperate, passionate, highly qualified teachers use this podcast series to insert teachers forcefully into the national conversation about the critical issues plaguing K-12 education, because no one else was letting them in–a fact which belies a central thesis about the roots of the problems discussed throughout the episodes. Listeners will be gripped by the reality that without substantial reforms which empower teachers to lead the work, the inevitable result is a collapse of our very ability to effectively self-govern–a process which they argue is already well underway.


    Listen as they describe the problems in teacher pay, teacher preparation requirements, special education, climate and culture, reading instruction, the false promise of existing DEI based frameworks in K-12, and the problems inherent in outsourced canned curriculums. Become a part of the solution as they outline a framework to authentically fix these problems, which require all hands on deck from both inside and outside of K-12 education.

    19. Special Edition Episode--Our Reaction to the 2024 Election
    2024/11/10

    In this episode, Trina and Amanda discuss the challenges and emotional turbulence surrounding the recent election. Trina begins by acknowledging the difficulty in having an apolitical conversation about the election but emphasizes the necessity of giving teachers a voice. She and Amanda assert that being anti-Trump is not synonymous with being anti-Republican and underscores the harm Trump's policies could inflict on education, particularly on low-income and special education students.

    Amanda shares her perspective, stressing the need to respect differing viewpoints and the importance of discussing political matters in a manner that respects students' and parents' beliefs. The conversation pivots to the hardships teachers face, including navigating the tumultuous events which were spun through the lens of political dogma such as COVID-19, the climate disasters, and the ever-changing political landscape without sufficient support.

    Trina delves into deeper systemic issues, such as illiteracy and the influence of oligarchical power structures on American democracy. She critiques both political parties for their roles in perpetuating these problems and advocates for campaign finance reform and increased civics education. Amanda echoes these sentiments, emphasizing the need for teachers to be more involved in the governance of education and the necessity of a strong, reformed Department of Education.

    The episode concludes with both speakers calling for unity and the bridging of political divides among educators to combat the current crisis in K-12 education. They invite listeners to join the conversation, regardless of their political affiliation, and to support the movement to save K-12 schooling.
