Tuesday's Teacher Feature - Joe Rogan: advocate for authenticity in the our education system

Joe Rogan: advocate for authenticity in the our education system


Joe Rogan
For the record, he never stated he was an advocate for authentic classroom practices but I'd wager he would based on the comments made on his 105th podcast.


If you haven't listen to it yet, why not? If you're not subscribing to his podcast, quit wasting space on your iPhone and go subscribe now: The Joe Rogan Experience.


Joe's podcast follows the great principle of George Iles - "Whoever ceases to be a student has never been a student." In academic jargon, this is known as the life-long learner.


Specifically, the 105th podcast is special to me because Joe expresses similar sentiment about educators that I've been hung up on since becoming one. Take a listen here and then you'll understand why the very need for books like the one below is so offensive to me. 



Yes, I understand we don't do it for the money. I get it, but it doesn't help the under-appreciated role teachers have in society when we're working part-time jobs between grading papers and professional development or (and this is the worst-case scenario) must choose to quit teaching and move to an administrative position in order to make enough money to sustain a family.

Go subscribe to The Joe Rogan Experience already! Evolve your perspective!

If you really want an education on modern philosophy, also check out Adam Carolla's podcasts.
Shouldn't the REAL educators be livid about this?
