1. Post COVID Apathy in Education

March 24, 2025

In this episode, Chandler and Russell tackle a growing issue that educators everywhere are noticing: post-COVID apathy in students. Why does it feel like students just aren’t as engaged or motivated as they used to be? What’s really going on behind the scenes, and how can teachers help reignite a sense of purpose and enthusiasm in the classroom?


They discuss the impact of prolonged isolation, shifting social dynamics, and changes in learning environments that have contributed to this wave of disengagement. Plus, they share their thoughts on solutions for educators to help students reconnect with their learning and feel more motivated in the post-pandemic world.


And just when things start to get serious, Chandler can't help but press all the sound effects — because nothing says "let’s talk about student apathy" like a perfectly timed cat meow. Russell, of course, is absolutely loving it. (Or is he?) Tune in for an insightful and unexpectedly hilarious conversation!
