It's Halloween time, y'all! And we can think of no scarier experience in education than being a U.S. Government teacher during an election season (especially this one). This week, we have a candid conversation with Rex Hafer, a 20 year veteran educator who can't shy away from talking politics in class. We tackle questions like: Is it possible to not show bias? How do you handle questions and topics rife with misinformation? Which U.S. Constitution app with 4 stars and 80 reviews is best? And, is candy corn good?
