Ronnie and Justin respond to some listener emails including a saucy romp with a professor in the 70’s, a teacher who’s writing some curriculum for a social/emotional learning program, a teacher who is addressing their school board about sex education, and a college student who’s refusing to participate in a unit on diverse literature because of Jesus. Then Ronnie and Justin read a professor’s decision to respond to students overusing AI for composition papers, followed by a little experiment. They read two college entrance essays and attempt to determine if any were written by AI. And as always they reveal the first piece of media they will cover for the spring trimester.

Here’s a copy of the essays we read to determine if any, one or both were written by AI: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AfnE5cMsXSnpHYUVVFSJ5lbfFOyrq2RMxuGOmZlvn6Y/edit?usp=sharing

A witch has come to a school district and creates havoc in this week’s film. And by a witch this time they aren’t talking about a mom for liberty. How will the district respond to seventeen missing students? Well there’s Hilary’s pizza parlor basement again, Resident Evil, celebrating missing kids in class, a Dunkin’ Refresher, tweakers, a principal making a bad choice to have a parent assembly, bubble gum vodka, CPS, a teacher stalking a student, junk food, prop comedian Carrot Top, school shootings, the Barbarian tie-in, how districts deal with grief, eyes bugging out of heads like Rodney Dangerfield, the importance of taking PrEP after getting a needle stick, parasites, bad wigs, learning voodoo, and showing your cooter via a karate kick to automatic doors. Exit ticket: It’s the trimester Andy Cohen “Rose and Thorn” ceremony with a look over the winter semester. Ronnie has a three way tie for first and one thorn. Justin has a three-way.

For once, both hosts have read the book AND watched the movie before this viewing, so they have some opinions of poor Charlie. They’ve been poor Charlie. The freshmen year of high school and found friends are explored as well as passing around dirty books, cafeteria culture, asshole shop teachers, Pizza Hut candle making, Caroline Leavitt again, Grimace, crushing on Paul Rudd, The Smiths, the world taking an internet time out via aliens, Greg from Succession, “Come on Eileen,” having pot for the first time, Jessica Kirson, movies with girls who stand up in moving vehicles, zines, The Beat Generation, our Rocky Horror dress up picks, our mixtape picks, how dumb Secret Santa is, a student who flunked a class three times, girl bullies of gay kids, the word “grandbabies,” who was really responsible for Charlie kissing Sam, having older friends and David Bowie’s “Heroes.”

Exit ticket: A student with mental health issues got a law passed allowing students to take mental health days. These weren’t days to get caught up on school work, but rest days that allow students to see therapists or to have a reset. Some teachers aren’t pleased.
