The "carpet" is the sacred heart of any elementary classroom. The place for mini-lessons, small group instruction, and class meetings. This carpet is a space for teachers to share some real talk. True stories from the hardest job in America, teaching. Wows and wonders, glows and grows, dumb and dumber, they're all here. Come To The Carpet, and join Elisabeth Yonker and her cadre of teachers as they roast themselves over the true coals of the American Education System's innards.
Host Elisabeth asks why teachers and long-haul truckers both suffer disproportionately high rates of UTIs. The perils of school bathrooms for staff, the GoGirl, inappropriate Halloween costumes, school safety, start times, and cussing all round out this first episode. Also, Zoe, Ana, and Amanda share how their starting point from being a student to their ending point of being a teacher is not connected with a straight line.
