Think, Pair, Swear
Kindergarten Cop
Anticipatory Set: Were narcs a real thing or just an 80s urban legend from 21 Jump Street? We find out the secret history of narcs in the United States, and Ronnie thinks there were two at his high school. Cops in high schools weren’t always school resource officers.
Getting Schooled: Ronnie gets a little carried away with the synopsis on this one, but Justin doesn’t mind. There was a lot going on at this elementary school, and by “a lot” they don’t mean teaching. Tumors. TV towers without a fence. A parent teacher conference that ends in a fist fight. All the things that make us happy. How many times can a classroom be left unattended? Well a lot. And in this school a veteran teacher can be replaced permanently by a giant man who likes to pronounce a hard “u.”
Exit Ticket: New teachers need adequate support that many schools aren’t giving them. Ronnie and Justin come up with some best ways to support those new to the profession. And no, they don’t involve cocktails, but they should.
