This weekly podcast takes a look at our world from the view of two ordinary guys who happen to think there is a funny side to about most anything. Not that they have any more answers than the next person, but it is their opinion that they can find a humorous spin on many of the issues facing those of us on this planet today. They will also discuss topics which may not have a funny side, but that offer great conversation. Basically, this podcast is the product of their desire to examine and comment on virtually any topic that happens to catch their attention...which really does not narrow it down at all. Blair Patton and Carden Moore make up the duo that is Pondering monkeys. Armed with the driest of humor and wandering minds, there is really no place this podcast cannot go. So, if you feel like a ride on the abstract humor bus and want to learn a few things along the way, by all means make yourself comfortable join the conversation.

For episode 32, the guys welcome Chuck Gameon to talk about his 30 years of experience as an educator and administrator in the US school systems.
Chuck talks about many aspects of how teaching and education have changed and evolved since the time he started, thirty one years ago. With the advent of social media, and expectations placed upon teachers increasing, things have changed and continue to change every year. Chuck talks about the challenges schools face as budgets are not able to meet demand, and teachers continue to struggle for wage increases. He also explains how educators are expected to do much more than teach, and how many teachers dedicate much of their time to the emotional and physical well being of children.
It is a worthwhile conversation to listen to, and makes us all appreciate what teachers do and the difficult circumstances many of them face. Please Join us.
