In this episode, I’m talking about everything from a wildly out-of-place operatic performance at my dinner table… to a voice memo that had me reconsidering every teacher’s unspoken job description… to the moment I accidentally confessed to a German felony because I couldn't understand what anyone was saying. And yes, there’s a story in here about nipples. And lotion. And regret. Plus, I’m finally sharing the unexpected resource that has completely reshaped how I think about reading instruction… and honestly, I want to know what you think about it. Takeaways: Why context is the difference between a beautiful performance… and a crime scene. The unexpected way a Japanese festival turned one teacher into a local legend. How I found myself explaining German law at 4 AM while crying in a police station. The moment a student’s “self-care routine” derailed an entire classroom. The literacy podcast that has me rethinking the way we teach reading, yes, even outside ELA. -- Teachers’ night out? Yes, please!
