6: How Tutoring Helped Us Go Part-Time
It seems like the extended episodes are here to stay!
This week, we chat about what formed our teaching practice when we started off in the profession, why losing is an important thing for children to experience, and we also dive into our career journey and how we ended up being able to drop to 3 days a week in school due to tuition.
We also kick off another new segment called "Confessions of a Teacher" and round it off with, as always, some stories from the classroom. Apparently, Dylan nearly cries again....
