S1E3: Should Students Be Allowed to Grade Their Teachers?

In this episode we wonder should we be giving students the power to grade teachers in a similar way we grade our students? Could a student be fair? Would it accurately reflect the teacher or the teachings of the individual? JJB (Jenn, Joe, and Brian) lead a discussion with 5 new students to debate whether they should or should not have the option to grade their teachers.

S1E2: Canadian Politics

This episode was recorded shortly after the Canadian Federal Election and living in Alberta (a Conservative Province) it caused a bit of an uproar. Hear our student debate the results and major issues of the two parties. The student tie the debate together very well but you need to wait until the end to see how they do it. We also plan on doing this again to cover more topics from the same panel.
Note: These are teens and their stats may be slightly slanted or off but their points are real and valid.

Men & Women & Sports

In this episode we get introduced quickly to the world of sports and the inequalities that exist and also the stereotypes that are present all around us. Our teens quickly realize that the world is not equal when it comes to men and women and both realize how one gender feels about the other. I doubt they can solve the inequality problem but they can definitely shed some light on the situation from a teenage perspective.
