Schools for teachers were called "normal colleges."

Dr. Pyrate graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 9 months with a Master's degree. She earned a doctorate in pirates, pedagogy (the science and art of teaching and learning), and children's literature from Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois.

Bottom line: Normal teaching isn't good enough.

After 3 decades as an instructional designer, faculty, teacher for ages 3-83, standardized test scorer, community education volunteer, academic accrediting contributor, career counselor, and subject matter expert, the realities of toxic normal created a piratical pedagogue. She is proudly neurodivergent and so are her mentorship methods.

At the end of the day, she knows: Free market educators are the best people to defy "we've always done it that way" teaching with the best strategies that revive curiosity.
