That's Not My Name! (In Florida)

Send us a text

Hey there, twisted listeners! Welcome back to another episode of the Twisted Teachers Podcast.  We float along as Kim tells us her rowing woes, Jen prepares for a possible new adventure in her work life. 

They talk about the no nickname ban in Florida. Wow, that's odd because nothing controversial ever happens in Florida. 

And as always, twisted listeners, we want to hear from you. What's your take on not using nicknames in the classroom? Have we gone too far?

Florida is facing the worst teacher shortage in history, which is completely shocking. 

Stay tuned for our next book talk on THE GIFTED SCHOOL by Bruce Holsinger.

 Until next time, keep twisting those teaching norms and keep rowing a steady course!

Stay Twisted!
