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

This week I got a chance to sit down with Lily, one of my afternoon seniors, to talk about her essay. Lily’s topic explored why Beowulf still matters in 2026, especially here in rural America. My girl Lily is a proud redneck, a backroads girl through and through, with a clear voice and a firm idea of what she wants to say.
