Episode XLV Mount Rushmore of Teachers

So I initially got, and first of all, the admin asked me, hey, do you want to present this? and because another teacher so it was a mountain we always do mountain rush wars in our right here right and that kind of inspired me hey you know what i need to kill like three days

three days

this has been going on like every time i go around i run into former former students And I was drinking with my wife's co-workers this past summer at a game, Padres game.

And then we always go, hey, man, who is your favorite teacher? And Lee's favorite teacher.

It opens up so many conversations.

Especially when you're drinking, right? For different reasons.

In the middle of the conversation, I found myself typing.

They're like, dude, are you typing her answers? Like, no, I'm typing a lesson.

Hang on.

Yeah.

so it was mountain rushmore teachers and i had the kids go up there present and as they're up there presenting i just wanted to kill a few days i didn't think anything of it but i got really into it like damn man this is kind of cool how they're talking about all my colleagues from the staff it made me feel really really good so real quick like when

you say mount rushmore like for those who may might be familiar with the idea of mount rushmore it's like your top

four

of a specific topic of a specific theme that's right so mount rushmore Meaning, who's your top four? And it's hard, right? So your students got into that.

I

took off running without explaining again.

Thank you very much.

So here we are.

Yeah, K through 12.

So I would message other teachers on campus, other teachers in the community, because there's some kindergarten teachers that I knew, junior high teachers that I knew.

I would message them, hey, some kid mentioned you.

To where one teacher actually told admin, next thing you know, admin's emailing me, hey, you want to present this? Like, hell yeah.

How much time do you need? I was like, you want me to talk the whole hour? I'll take the whole hour because those meetings are freaking boring, right? So one way to keep me awake is to give me the stage.

So I'll take the whole stage.

So they said, we'll give you 10 minutes, Nick.
