(74) Mailbag #1

(74) Mailbag #1

Sir Jay and Miss Pobs will be going on their summer break, but not before going through our first mailbag episode! They'll be answering various questions from our listeners. Some funny, some thought-provoking, some inspiring. Don't miss out!


Questions featured:

12:00 - "Hi! Just wanted to ask if you've always wanted to be a teacher or just about how you ended up becoming a teacher in the first place :>"


16:43 - "question: can you tell when students have crushes on each other? if so, do you take the (valid) opportunity to mess with them?"


24:09 - "how do teachers manage to go through each test one by one to check it? is it something they get used to overtime?"


31:30 - "What is it like to witness schoolyard beef from the perspective of an educator, or just a grown adult person? (Is it funny to watch or does it sometimes get a bit disconcerting)"


40:20 - "Do you ever get frustrated with bigotry in the educational sector, or is it a bit easier as a professional to separate that from your own personal ideals?" / "Given that high schools in the country are mostly conservative or traditional, do you think there’s space for queer teachers (maybe in the future if not now)? Or do I have to be closeted to be employed? 💀💀"


52:14 - "How to deal with a professor who obviously despises you. Please send help."


1:00:30 - "Have you ever had the urge to physically hurt one of your students?"


1:08:34 - "How is it like to run into former teachers or students in public? Do you have any kwento about it?" / "How do you keep in touch with former students?"


1:24:07 - "In what way is teaching a rewarding experience for you?"
