Today's episode is a very special recording of the podcast. In celebration of our summer break, I came up with a ridiculous game called "Battle of the Brackets." We pick a topic (like worst school supplies) and create a set of playoff brackets where we argue each item head to head until we've declared a winner for: The Worst School Supply Ever.
Western Conference:
1. Safety scissors vs. mechanical pencils
2. Bottle glue vs. mini pencil sharpeners
Eastern Conference:
1. Cheap crayons vs. school paper towels
2. Pens with caps vs. glitter
WINNER!
Today's entire episode is a classroom story. ;)
