Last week, a video on Kim’s small Tik Tok account has reached over100K views. Kim is on the ledge and Jen assures her all will be well. They talk about when the statute of limitations is up for daylight saving times excuses. How long will it take to change the clock in your classroom?
Listen, laugh, and stay twisted everyone!
Jane vs. the Four Day Work Week
Kim finds out she’s on the review committee for challenged books, and Jen lives through Groundhog Day where she dissects the same data over and over and over-or maybe she’s in a level of Dante’s Inferno?
They also give their response to a country singer comparing teachers to pedophiles.
They discuss trends for over 40-year-old women. Gingham, pants under skirts, and popcorn textures-oh my!
The review results from a poll given on Linked IN regarding the four-day workweek. They make a new online friend, Jane, who thinks teachers need to “do more to be better”. They calmly discuss her opinions without any outbursts whatsoever.

Cacophonous Complaints
Jen and Kim talk about it all. There was a Kramer sighting dealing with a jalapeno popper. They discuss parent control, year-long lesson plans, and teacher salaries. They also share a couple of banned books and their thoughts about them. Jen was recovering from Covid during the recording of this episode. It seems she may have forgotten she was doing a podcast whilst doing a podcast.
Stay Twisted, Yall!

District Disconnect and Parents’ Bill of RIghts
Jen and Kim discuss teaching the words ‘aphrodisiac” and ‘impotent’ to high school students. Jen tells about an unfortunate F BOMB dropped on a recording she accidentally submitted on a test. It wouldn’t be a Twisted Teacher episode without an update about Ben Affleck. Kim finds herself in a tiny tirade about why kids are watching Euphoria while their parents are banning books. They also discuss the disconnect between school districts and the teachers. Is it really ok to have parents pop in your classroom whenever they want to check on their kids? Is it ok for parents to require a list of books a teacher may have in his/her classroom? Is it ok for the district to let parents run our education system?

Twisted Snippet-Catsuits, Ho Underwear, and Shaun Cassidy Bell Bottoms
Kim and Jen take a few minutes to review the fashion trends for 2022. Some are a hard no, and others, they are considering. Jen tells her tale about her ho underwear, and Kim reminisces about her Shaun Cassidy pants and the sad replacement of Mork and Mindy jeans.
Nanu Nanu
Teachers’ Bill of Rights
Jen and Kim have adapted their own bill of rights for teachers. If the parents have one, why can’t educators? Then they create a fictitious world where there are fairy tale characters in our classrooms. It’s not too far off from reality. There are no sources for this episode since they made all this shit up.
Stay Twisted and Laugh!
