Ep. 22 — Rockstar Public High School Logic Teacher, Distinguished Wrestling Coach Rich Bordner
We’re honored to be joined by the Def Leppard and Van Halen of Public High School Logic Teachers, Rich Bordner.
Bordner was a collegiate wrestler at The Ohio State University (which is in Ohio) and was one of those weird kids who majored in Philosophy. He shares part of his story of bringing Philosophy–including Critical Thinking and Logic (part of standard training in Philosophy) to the public high school campuses in California and Texas.
Bordner spent nearly a decade working 80 hours a week running a successful wrestling program as well as teaching cutting edge life thinking skills to students before throwing in the towel on coaching to save his marriage.
He has several stories to share, and many many more where those came from , that highlight just how crazy kids are becoming, and how he stands in the gap .
He can’t do this alone.
You can help Rich at his new part-time venture, The Daniel Collaborative, which equips parents and high school students to be effective thinkers in the crazy context of the exact issues they face on high school campuses.
Check out https://www.danielcollaborative.com/ or email info@danielcollaborative.com for more information on how you can get involved or support this effort.
The Republican Professor is a pro-teaching-Logic-&-Critical Thinking podcast, we are coach-friendly, and love the work that the very best teachers, like Rich, do in public schools day in and day out.
The Republican Professor welcomes Rich Bordner !
