For this week’s DadChat, we have a special guest: Jack Forman, who’s been on before and who is now helping produce the show while Nate navigates the alpine labyrinth of Swiss bureaucracy. And in this episode, Jack discusses his experience as a former elementary school teacher, and what the oft-discussed ‘back to school’ period is like for teachers and school staff. We very much hope you enjoy it!

Nate’s finally moved to yet another country even further from Indiana, and for this week’s episode he and Francis discuss the travails of being the single member of your family who speaks the language of the country you’re in, the inevitability of your kids making fun of you for speaking that language badly, and much more.
