In The Wild

Jon and Shaun discuss their interactions with students "in the wild"...sort of.
"After a long hiatus, Jon and Shaun finally return. Why were they gone so long? I assume it's because they burned out. Apparently not...maybe they were working on great improvements in the production. Well, let's give it a listen:

"Okay, so quality has not improved. Jon and Shaun do not even give us that little bit of Mozart at the start and finish to make us feel a little classy for listening to their production. Of course, I always saw right through that ridiculous juxtaposition of Mozart with Jon and Shaun, but now that I don't have even that moment of enrichment, I am not sure I can keep reviewing these guys. I mean, "Good morning Shaun...good morning Jon." That's harsh. That's harsh..."

"Ahoy! Ahoy! I'll take the burden Dear Sir. I have listened to these podcasts up till now. Unburden your offended psyche and let me carry the load a while."

"Ahh! Thank you Young Master. I reluctantly but appreciatively give over this bane. Please do us all justice by destroying these mountebanks."

"You have my assurances Dear Sir. I will now proceed without further quotation marks:"

Shaun takes center stage first in this discussion of education. He does not discuss education though. Rather, he discusses a "harrowing" experience of seeing a house toilet papered. Jon then tells his tale of distress where he felt compelled to talk to some students outside of the school.

The recounting of these tales reveals impressive imaginative abilities that sheds light on the two "teachers'" general discontent with our educational system and society at large. By examining how both Jon and Shaun imagine situations as more harrowing or more dire than they actually are, they are, of course, going to have great difficulty in teaching at a large school where numerous encounters can be imagined together into the apocalyptic state that they imagine the state of education is in. 

Are things so bad gentlemen? Really?
