In this episode of the Hack Learning Podcast, Mark Barnes is asking you to help solve this crisis. He shares a disheartening Twitter chat, in which educators from across the country share the issues:

> teachers being told to "stick it out," no matter what
> a massive substitute teacher shortage is pulling teachers from their classes and moving them into others, during their plan times and lunches
> teachers feel obligated to work, even ignoring doctor's orders to stay home
> some fear a return to distance learning, while others hope for it
> feeling of helplessness and overwhelming stress are pushing educators to the brink

You can find the Twitter conversation Mark references here: https://twitter.com/imacoolibrarian/status/1450146195779690497?s=20

In another edgy, unabridged, unedited edition of Hack Learning Uncut, Hamilton, co-author of Hacking Homework: 10 Strategies That Inspire Learning Outside the Classroom, discusses a much-needed shift in education away from kids learning at home “because my teacher said I need to.” to students choosing to work outside of school because the activities “help me solidify my learning.”

In this brief Uncut interview, Hamilton makes clear connections between in-class lessons and real-world learning at home that students will always choose to do—not because they’re told to but because they want to learn more.
