Those Who Can't Teach Anymore - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This was such an excellent and engaging listen. As a parent of kid with additional needs, who goes to the Board of Ed meetings this really helped me understand what is happening with the teachers we work with and love.

We have been blessed with the nicest, kindest and most thoughtful people who have always found ways to go above and beyond, and we see how they’re burning out under all the stress from testing and the pressure to cut budgets and provide more with less. We need to listen to teachers more and this is a great way to do so.

I wish every parent, politician, administrator, and person who sits on boards of education were required to listen to this. It voices so many concerns that most educators are afraid to communicate out of fear. As an elementary educator of 24 years, I am strongly considering this being my last year. I don’t feel good about being part of a system that I feel is harming students all in the name of standards. There is no joy left.

This is the first time in 20+ year as an educator that I felt the NEED to actually reply to a podcast. To hear that I am not alone in my concerns, struggles, battles, observations, etc. in education was sobering. Prior to becoming an educator, I worked as a professional outside of education. The last few years have been a struggle being a teacher for numerous reasons and has had me questioning my role as a teacher. Whether my coworkers and I concerns were isolated in our district or if our observations of where education is headed was more far reaching than just our district has been a constant topic of discussion. Thank you for putting this series together. I sincerely hope this series starts to swing the pendulum in a different direction for education.

I binged all seven episodes in a day. There’s a lot of careful thought and research presented here. It was fun to hear from a podcaster in Wyoming. Sometimes the major locations like NYC dominate the discussions on public education. I appreciated hearing from an Intermountain location that sounds pretty similar to my own state of Idaho.
