This is a very honest (and slightly spicy!) episode of Rainbow Skies for Teachers! We are sharing our biggest hot takes about teaching and education right now. From report cards and staff meetings to screen time, teaching slides, homework, and math textbooks, nothing is off limits!

We’re diving into the practices we think need a rethink, the systems that may be adding unnecessary pressure to teachers, and the changes we’d love to see in schools moving forward.

Whether you completely agree, strongly disagree, or sit somewhere in the middle, this episode is designed to spark conversation, reflection, and maybe even a few laughs along the way.

Our teacher hot takes include:

  • Staff meetings 
  • School newsletters
  • A–E reporting 
  • Homework 
  • Teaching slides
  • Technology and screen time in classrooms
  • Math textbooks 

Whether you completely agree, strongly disagree, or sit somewhere in the middle, this episode is designed to spark conversation, reflection, and maybe even a few laughs along the way.

Because together, we grow (and sometimes growth starts with challenging the way things have always been done).

There are rainbows ahead,

Alisha and Ashleigh
