Anticipatory Set: Justin has a history lesson on federally funded indigenous boarding schools, and the trauma they caused Native Americans in the United States. All in the name of assimilation and a cheap labor force. Horrifying.
Getting schooled: Keeping with the light tone, our hosts critique this World War II drama where priests hide Jewish students in a boarding school in the French countryside. This school is the Lord of the Flies meets the Sound of Music but with extra Nazis. Questions discussed: Why do young boys like to wear shorts in the winter? If boys only bathe once a week, how do you breathe while teaching advanced Algebra to 12 year olds? Can you adequately cover course objectives while hiding in a bomb shelter? Why did Ronnie pick this bummer of a movie?
Exit ticket: A Chinese-American substitute teacher faces daily racism from her elementary and middle school students, and administration handles it about as adequately as expected. Justin shares some issues he’s dealt with as an admin, and Ronnie worries about the future of this country. Yep. A light episode, indeed.
