Summary

In this episode, we have a conversation with Tim Davis, a history teacher and the head football coach at West High in Anchorage. We talk about technology — our addiction to it and how it shapes our youth — how to develop authentic relationships with your students both as a teacher and a coach, teaching in one of the most diverse high schools in America, what it's like to participate in an active shooter drill, and why media literacy is important now more than ever. We also discuss how football can unite us and the time some of his players decided to kneel during the national anthem.

Yeah, yeah, but I think that you were saying that you wanted to bring it up here in the intro because it's been in the

0:14.9

Anchorage news it's been there was one one threat on Snapchat but I read that it

0:21.4

was from out of state there was one threat that was written on a wall in a girl's bathroom at a middle school and there was one that was that was overheard in a conversation at a high school. So it seems like, I don't know if it's picking up increasingly, or if there's just, there was just kind of like a bunch of them at one time.

0:42.0

0:45.3

0:54.9

administrator you can't dismiss it.

0:58.8

Oh no you can't you can't even distinguish between those two you have to treat every single one like it's a

1:03.7

potential threat. Yeah, exactly. But it's kind of bizarre that all of a sudden out of nowhere

1:42.4

It was so funny, right right that's what I mean by

1:44.0

hyperbolic speech and so when you start saying some of that stuff in reality
