The Ten Commandments of Teaching with Dr. Keri Whaley

Devin Siebold and James Yon welcome the multifaceted powerhouse Dr. Keri Whaley to the latest episode of the Crying In My Car podcast! Keri, a college professor, comedian, and writer with a knack for media, entertainment, and film, comes armed with tales that could only emerge from the chaotic convergence of comedy and academia. Find out how a screenplay born from a joke has landed Keri a spot in the Rhino Comedy Shorts Film Festival in New York. She dives into the age-old teacher mantra, "If you give a student an inch, they'll take a mile," and how it, unfortunately, has driven many an educator to consider a cocktail (or two). Keri gives us her candid and hilarious insight into the transition from teaching high school to navigating the more 'mature' minds of college kids. Spoiler alert: the importance of maintaining a hardass attitude with college students is paramount! She also dishes on the nuances of being close in age to her students and also the (sometimes) glorious differences in schedule. Our 'Teachers in the News' segment covers the feel-good tale of a Florida teacher crowned the "chalkboard champion," and the unflagging determination of a 91-year-old teacher who flat-out refuses to retire after 63 years. But not all news is good news, as we find out about the transphobic vandalism of a parent's truck and the curious bill passed in Texas mandating the display of the Ten Commandments in every classroom. To counter this rather perplexing law, Devin shares his own hysterical rendition of the Ten Commandments – but designed exclusively for teachers! You'll be wiping away tears of laughter before he gets to Commandment Three. Promise. Tune in and buckle up for a belly laugh-filled ride through the rollercoaster that is the life of a teacher! --------------------------- Follow Devin at http://DevinComedy.com https://tiktok.com/@devincomedy http://twitter.com/devinsiebold http://instagram.com/devinsiebold Follow James at http://JamesYon.com https://tiktok.com/@jamesyoncomedy http://instagram.com/jamesyoncomedian
