This week we join Pete (@mr_van_w) and John (@jfcatto) halfway a conversation about why Pete hates apathy and blames Gen X.
They then decide to put off talking about the the Q&A episode until another day, and then spend half an episode discussing it.
Pete then highlights the need for diversity in teachers. Both so minority students can have relatable role model and so other develop tolerance through interacting with a cross section of society.
Q & A: Eddie Woo, Pasi Sahlberg, Cindy Berwick, Gabbie Stroud and Jennifer Buckingham

So Pete and John had grand plans of getting together and putting out this pod in the start of the holidays and then doing a couple of pods during the holidays.
Look, we all know that didn't happen. I'm not sure what's on this one either - I like to take a gamble and see what's on there when it's published.
In other words, as John likes to say, I'm rubbish. I might update these show notes after I listen. But I doubt it.
Dear listener we love you, my rubbishness is less a reflection on how we feel about you and more a direct correlation with the intensity of life at the moment.
Thanks for sticking with us, and if you get the chance give it a rate and review on iTunes or wherever else you can.
Thanks,
Pete (@mr_van_w) and John (@jfcatto)
