We apologize, but look what we found!!

As you may have noticed, the past show was only a half hour long. The first part was enshrouded in silence. Yes, we believe that in the theatre, "silence is golden", but not for a radio show. We were actually locked out of the studio, and our guests had to leave, the situation was waaay out of our control, but the show had to go on. We thank you, the listeners and the readers so much, and we appreciate you so much, that we had to take the last 30 mins and run with it.

But, on another note. A fellow teacher of the Talking Teacher, a very fine middle school math teacher, shared this. Apparently, Washington D.C. is a few steps ahead of us. They are in the process of going through massive and major changes. Reading the articles, it is shockingly similar, it looks as though you were gazing through a crystal ball. The new chancellor is only 38 years old, and is cleaning up shop.

Show #17 Dr. Johnson and Mr. Phil Butterfield

What an interesting day, whew, the Talking Teacher went through and survived a whirlwind, no need to worry though, the Talking Teacher came through unscathed. Despite the whirlwind day, the show surely turned out to be a hit. We were due to have the Minister of Education on, but due to some unfortunate circumstances beyond our control, could not make it. No sweat, the Teacher Talk crew is pretty versatile and can think on their feet, so new plan- HOT TOPIC TUESDAY! Let's hear what our listeners want to say. The show was to start at 5:32 and at 5:31, our two guests walked in. Not the Minister, but two people who held the answers to a lot of the questions that the public had.

Now the interesting thing about being the Talking Teacher is that you get to listen to a variety of the stakeholders or even wanna be stakeholders in education. The body language and the expressions of the guests surely tell a lot about how they feel about education, and most importantly, our students, our children, the ones we are in this thing called education for. Before the show started, the Talking Teacher had a few misconceptions about our guests, and their intent, just being honest, as I am sure many of the Teachers and even the Public may have. I must say that being in the studio showed me that we should be in good hands and that we are all pulling in the same direction.

There is more to this post, but The Talking Teacher has lost the trend of thought and will pick up on this tomorrow. In the meantime, click here if you want to hear the show. Feel free to leave a comment!
