Thanks for the plug Jeff, great podcast, keep up the good work!
You can count by twos.
This little finger is 1,2. This little thumb is 3,4. And this middle finger is 5,6.
English teachers!
Looking forward to episode 6!
Not related to this episode, but a more of a general curiosity to both Dan & Jeff, and anyone reading this:
If you were an individual making the decision to go into education, knowing what you know, and having the experience that you have; would you make the same decision? why or why not?
Also what would you advice be to someone facing the same choice?
Sorry if this sounds like a test question, but you will be graded on the completeness of your answer; and I will be checking your sources (no I will not accept Wikipedia as a valid source)
