Lamination day: The teacher's newest unsung holiday.

 

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they celebrate their new favorite unofficial teacher holiday, lamination day. They will also come to terms with a hard truth, they're getting older, but is that really a bad thing? Finally they reveal the hidden battle that is happening right under our noses, in our school libraries. 

 

We all know how important our laminations are, from posters to dry-erase works sheets, us teachers can't get enough of them. But what do we do when the librarian has a choke hold on the lamination machine? Well that's where lamination day comes into play. It's truly the newest unofficial teachers holiday; and what happens when Devin commits sacrilege by bringing something to be laminated after this day? Tune in to find out! 

 

Let's face the facts, we're getting old… There is nothing that induces a midlife crisis like seeing your previous students with lines under their eyes and receding hairlines. When you last saw them they were struggling with long division, now they’re struggling with taxes. But you know what they say, with age comes wisdom, so we're going to share our wisdom on how we’re navigating these changes. 

 

Did you guys know about the cultural battle that's going on in our libraries? Well apparently there is legislation putting huge restrictions on what kind of books are deemed appropriate to be on their shelves, with the librarians being its first line of defense. So not only do they need to know the dewey decimal system and how to laminate, but now they have to screen every book in their collection!
