Tee tells us about reconnecting with his high school English teacher to thank her for laying the foundation for him to write Morevi, Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword, and the other stories he’s written, and how twice a year he goes back to her class to talk about writing.

The inspiration a student finds from a particular teacher can manifest in unexpected ways, and how a teacher communicates with their students can have an impact on those kids. The teachers talk about the different impacts teachers can have, both positive and negative, over the course of a student’s K-12 education and beyond.

Lorrie, Megan, Joyce, Noemi, Carla and Brad respond to a voicemail from Kat in NJ, wondering what the teachers would change about public education in the US, if they had the power to do so. The consensus is: reduce the class size, period.

Joyce also elaborates on how much work teachers do, and how the salary levels do not match the impact they have on the lives of the students. The suggestion that teachers should be paid the same as babysitters could be a good start (per head and per hour together!).

The discussion ranges from student discipline, parental support of the students, the discipline set by students, and whether or not the mandatory school age should be lowered. The different levels of discipline by classroom and by school conflicts with the discipline the students receive (or don’t receive) at home.

Lorrie, Megan, Joyce, Noemi, Carla and Stacy start out this episode discussing their favorite books to read while they were growing up:

  • Joyce: “Mrs Mike” by Benedict Freeman
  • Megan: “The Diary of Anne Frank”
  • Noemi: “Blubber” by Judy Blume
  • Carla: “A Wizard of Earthsea” by Ursula LeGuin, “Stranger in a Strange Land” by Robert Heinlein
  • Stacy: “Charlotte’s Web” by E. B. White
  • Lorrie: “Are You There God, It’s Me, Margaret” by Judy Blume, “The Stand” by Stephen King

The list leads into the troubles getting kids to read in class, much less getting them to read on their own outside of school. Why does it seem as if most kids these days not hungry to read?

The teachers talk about their influences in learning to read, and discuss the challenges for both parents and teachers in getting kids to read more, and possible ways to get them engaged in wanting to read more. They also talk about the current favorite types of books they enjoy reading now.
