In this highly emotional episode. We look at the loss of a former student of ours, Tanner Ward. Tanner Ward went missing in June of 2017 and his body was found 6 months later. The police determined his death a suicide. If there is anyone out there that can help us get the police to re-open this investigation, we are happy to support in any way we can. **TRIGGER WARNING** This episode contains very sensitive information about the facts of Tanner Ward's death. It may be too sensitive for listeners that may have experienced the loss of a loved one or suffers from suicidal ideation. This episode discusses suicide and suicidal ideation, and some people might find it disturbing. If you or someone you know is suicidal, please, contact your physician, go to your local ER, or call the suicide prevention hotline in your country.

We're back for another year of fun! This season we've added a new participant to the party! Meet Ansterdam! She's a teacher, she's Cole's wife and she has a lot to say about the world of education! We're coming into this school year hot! We're teaching under a hybrid schedule with an online only option, we've been working all summer, we're worn out and it's just the beginning! Things are crazy! Thank you to our sponsor, FYI CBD! They're keeping us calm during the most uncalm time of our careers!

In this episode, Cole and K-Dub take you through teaching during the quarantine, what it has looked like so far, the frustrations and the fears as well as the wins.

In this episode, Cole and K-dub have learned to do a lot of things that they normally do together at work, from their individual homes. From podcasting to teaching and holding school online, they are at home and they are frustrated.

In this episode, Cole and K-Dub look at the double edged sword of teaching in the electronics age. The addiction of electronics and the affect it has on students in the classroom and the pendulum swing of finding a balance between too much electronics and not enough. What does this have to do with Pavlov? I guess you'll have to listen to find out. Special thanks to our sponsor FYICBD! If you haven't tried FYICBD, you need to!
