- Why are people searching for porno and landing on Smash Notes?

- How do you teach third-graders about consent?
- How can you engage a kid who otherwise doesn't want to learn?

One of the podcasts on Smash Notes is called "My Dad Wrote A Porno" and apparently it is extremely popular. The author was in his 60s when he heard about the success of 50 Shades of Gray, so he decided to write his own.

The script is so awful, it is hilarious. Author's son found out about the porno and turned it into a podcast, which gained a following and is now an HBO show.

Sure you can. Just play the episode starting at this segment.

Although it might not make you happy, doing a startup might give you something to do, way beyond what you could find in a typical job. Aline Lerner, the founder of Interviewing.io shares her experience.

Will Hatton was traveling the world, living on a cheap, until one day he met his girlfriend and got married. To maintain their lifestyle, they needed more money, so Will got working. He accelerated the growth of The Broke Backpacker, and started building surrounding businesses, benefiting from the success of one another.

Sure they can. This is a segment about a teacher explain "consent" to her third-graders. Although considered a taboo topic, consent is actually about boundaries and expectations, not sex. When presented to children in a way that matches their world, difficult topics can be discussed, and it turns out, kids want to know.

If you want to engage a student that is not paying attention, it helps to call on them with a question, and even if they cannot answer the question, once someone else provided the answer, it's important to circle back and ask the first student to repeat. By doing this consistently, over time, the class learns to expect questions at all times, but also that non-knowing does not put on one a tough position, and it is okay to make mistakes.
