What happens when veteran teachers refuse a buyout? And why are wealthy kids less glued to screens than their peers?
Welcome back to Crying In My Car, the podcast for teachers! This week Devin Siebold and James Yon discover the secret to teacher burn out. Then they address the growing push to force older teachers into early retirement, even when they don't want to leave. They also uncover an eye-opening trend about cell phone use among students and what it really says about parenting across income levels.
First, Devin shares why teacher conventions might be the one thing that can reignite a burned-out educator's passion. From hands-on tech demos to powerful keynote speakers, these gatherings are more than just a break from the classroom, they're a chance to recharge and reconnect with the profession.
Things take a dark turn where, in Maine, some schools are offering early retirement buyouts which seem optional, but if teachers don't take the deal, they simply cut these long-time educators. Is this cost-saving strategy destroying the very experience schools need most? Tune in to hear our take on this injustice.
Finally, we head back into the wild world of Reddit, and read jaw-dropping stories about parents who apparently think homework is optional, teachers being threatened, and why rich kids seem to use their phones less than everyone else. You won't believe the crazy stories were finding this week!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
