Season 2 (WHAT??!!) looks at all the things school didn't prepare us for (with a dash of new COVID rules and adjustments)!! What did you learn at school and do you use it today? Are teachers equipped to deal with modern day living in all it's forms? 

It's Episode 10 and we made it!!!! *inserts applause* How much honesty is too much honesty. Definitely a conversation that WILL reoccur knowing us but for now; are we trying to normalise too much?
