In honor of the presidential election here in the US, we wanted to talk about the true impact a sitting president has on us educators.

We need male teachers because the field is dominated by females (75%). If you Google statistics around this fact, you’ll see an outcry for positive male role models, the need for male influences in student’s lives, and the need to balance “gender inequality.”

We are moving away from our usual podcasts on current events this week to talk about a major issue that is facing all of us younger teachers: The Burnout. We will be talking about the infamous 5 year teacher burnout, and the shocking 50% of teachers who leave the profession before they have the chance to start.
