With Honors
Podcast Description
With Honors is a podcast about the lessons that stay with us long after the final bell. Hosted by an Honors and AP English teacher, this show features candid conversations with my current and former students, student teachers, and sometimes co-workers about the ideas, stories, and experiences that have shaped our learning. From deep dives into literature and philosophy to reflections on projects, discussions, and moments that mattered, With Honors is a space for revisiting the conversations that define our classroom—and, maybe, our lives. jcrock.substack.com

As a teacher, it’s inevitable. There are certain students who become fixtures of your classroom. Alizabeth and Lily have always been two of the most memorable, funniest, talented people from my classes. They made videos that captured the soul of that class. They ended their sophomore year and senior year by gifting me a compilation video of our memories together. And during their senior year, they made a Valentine’s TikTok that somehow reached more than 29 million views and six million likes. Now they’ve graduated and moved on to college. But today, they came back for a little while, remembering that classroom, unpacking the quote book, and reflecting on who the people we were then and the lives they started living next.
