Building Financial Independence Outside of the Classroom | Episode #41 - Jennifer Keigher

Jennifer Keigher (@eastnash.teacher) is currently teaching in Nashville, TN, and has been in the profession for more than a decade. On this episode, Jenn and I discuss a natural path to teaching, the unexpected reality of teaching, being naturally sarcastic people, how teaching has become too much and how post-covid education is almost like the wild west, how we have many concerns about the future of education, the challenges of making more money as a teacher and developing her own business while teaching, the implicit judgement from her colleagues after taking a step back, the strange idiosyncrasies of professional evaluations, the difference in perception of Canadian versus American universities and how they really are not that different, my brother doing crazy things on vacation causing us to learn about the American health care system, how every male teacher can subtly get away with the ‘fake gym teacher’ persona, how fun it is going into observe other teachers in their classroom, how you can even learn from teachers who suck, how long it takes to establish yourself in a school, what type of ’student-parent’ she wants to be, and, much more.
