28 Nancy Barile- High School ELA Teacher (Philly & Boston Scenes)

Episode Summary

How does a punk rocker go from booking shows to teaching high school students? As we learned from Nancy Barile, the journey is a more natural one than we would have initially thought. In our conversation we dive into what isn’t in her great new memoir “I’m Not Holding Your Coat” - from her numerous awards as an educator, her sometimes unorthodox approach to the rules and how a vintage Minor Threat t-shirt can fund one hell of a school trip. Along the way, we learn that you can take the teacher out of the punk rock scene, but you can’t take the punk out of the teacher.
