Should we start fining parents for students’ bad behavior? Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon are back to talk about. Finally unpack some jaw-dropping stories from the world of education — and of course, add a few laughs along the way. First up, Devin shares a chilling story about students' increasing use of anonymous Crime Line tips to report weapons and threats on campus. Are our schools becoming less safe, or are kids just speaking up more? It’s a conversation you don’t want to miss. Then we’re off to Delaware, where apparently you don’t even need a teaching license to lead a classroom anymore?! Over 400 teachers were found to have expired or nonexistent licenses, including a state lawmaker who teaches and serves on the education committee. You can’t make this stuff up. And finally, imagine a world where teachers could fine parents every time a kid acts up. Would it fix behavior problems, or start a brand new kind of drama? They also come up with some of the most hilarious fineable school infractions, you don't want to miss this!

We’re Saving Education with… Conspiracy Theories?
What happens when students are more addicted to cell phones than to learning? Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Our hosts, Devin Siebold and James Yon, are back with some controversial opinions. From society's crippling phone addiction to the way the deep state is holding back education, you wouldn't believe the kind of hoops educators need to go through these days to create a lesson plan. First up, Devin breaks down the heated debate around the Department of Education. Should it stay? Should it go? Is there a better way to truly support our schools? Get ready for some honest and surprisingly insightful conversation. Then, we're going to take a hard look at America’s real addiction problem… Cell phones. Now we all like playing on our phones, but for students, it's becoming a lot more serious than you think, and Devin makes the case that we need to start treating it just like any other addiction. And finally, why fighting for better education might require a little... conspiracy theory marketing? Devin argues that if we started treating education issues as conspiracy theories, they might be able to reach the public. We would imagine saying “the deep state doesn’t want you to fund libraries” has quite the ring to it. Honestly, it might just work.

A Teacher Seriously Wore that to the UK?
Will our students remember us when they become famous? Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon are going to be sharing all the details of Devin’s recent trip to the UK. It also feels so great to be recognized, so this week we were reveling in both students recognizing their former teachers, and teachers recognizing their former students. First up Devin recently got back from the UK and oh boy does he have some stories. He was so surprised by how much healthier most of the food is over there, however we couldn't help but miss our classic American junk food. You also wouldn't believe how a simple fashion choice affected his visit. Tune in to hear the whole story. In the news recently, Timothee Chalamet was honored at the Oscars by his former high school teacher, and with this we wonder if one of our students would go on to be honored like this. You never know so you should get your speech ready for when our students eventually become famous and of course thank us for being the reason they succeeded. Speaking of recognizing our students, let's talk about the other way around. Devin this week got an email from one of his former students after 9 years. These kinds of moments are the reason why we teach in the first place, so go ahead and share this beautiful moment with us.

Teaching by Day, Tackling by Night
Apparently this teacher is taking a break from the blackboard, and going for a blitz… Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon are going to be sharing the tale of a star rugby teacher that also just so happens to be a teacher. Do you think more classrooms are better for education, or do you think it's more about quality over quantity? Finally we are going to be sharing some of our favorite teacher Reddit stories. What do teachers do when they clock out? While some teachers crochet or play video games, we're going to be talking about an educator who is also an outstanding rugby player. While other teachers are tackling their lesson plans, they’re tackling the scrum-half (if you know you know). Next we tackle a common issue in Florida schools, the dreaded portable classroom. Granted, they're an easy and cheap way to expand the classroom, but is cutting corners affecting a student's learning? Tune in to hear our take! Finally we turned to Reddit for the wildest parent stories you've ever heard. You would not believe some of these things these teachers have gone through! From parents blaming teachers for their children's grades to a split family compromising their kid’s education, you definitely don't want to miss this!

How Banning Social Media Could Change Your Classroom
Now do we really look like Miss Frizzle? Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Do you think kids should be on social media? Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon have their own strong opinions on this. Now looks can be deceiving, can you tell what someone teaches by just their appearance. Finally you wont believe what a local Florida teacher ended up getting arrested for. Social media, we all love it, chances are you heard of our podcast through it, but should there be an age limit for it? A new major Florida law places a ban on social media for children under the age of 14. Is it good that they are escaping from the unrealistic beauty standards, online bullying and influencer culture of social media, or is it so ingrained in our society that they can't live without it? And more importantly what is the impact going to be on education? Tune in to hear our take! Now we all know the stereotypes for teachers, like how elementary school teachers always look like Miss Frizzle, and history teachers love their tweed jackets, so can you really judge a book by its cover, or are these stereotypes outdated? Finally we go to a bit of a darker subject, in Brevard County, a teacher was arrested for hosting a speakeasy for their students. It's absolutely disappointing how long such an event went unnoticed, we are not sparing any details on this week's episode.
