Kindergarten Teacher with Natalie Parmenter

It's almost criminal that here in the US we pay teachers so little that our government is currently trying to pass a bill just to get the minimum teaching wage to reach the national average for wages. These are the people responsible for making sure entire generations of kids grow up to be well educated adults, and we aren't even paying them the average?!

Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. I'm your host as always Colton Petry.

My guest today is Natalie Parmenter. Natalie has officially held a degree in teaching for just over ten years, but like most great educators she has spent her whole life being a role model and helping people younger than her learn what she already figured out. Her happiest years were spent with the youngest group of kids to go to school: Kindergartners. And even though Natalie has since left the elementary school in favor of educating all ages with the YouTube Primary Focus ( PrimaryFocus.TV ), she brings an enormous amount of experience and wisdom for parents, grandparents, educators, or even just people work vaguely around kids or teachers.

And I will say that there really is something so gratifying about seeing the lightbulb come on when someone figures out a critical idea. It's so incredible that I literally use it in the official art for this podcast.
