Ep. 446 - The December Mailbag: Organizing Crayons, Parent Concerns, and How to Say No

Following Thanksgiving last week, Amanda Heyn is back with Tim in the December mailbag to answer listener questions and offer advice. They begin with a fun but meandering conversation on wishlists, food takes, and a variety of other topics (skip to about 14:00 if you just want to hear the art teaching advice).  They then talk about organization, dealing with unreasonable requests from your principal, and what report cards are really saying. The episode finishes with a quick version This or That: Winter Edition.
