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.
