PRE-ORDER MY NEW BOOK (OUT MAY 5, 2026)!!! — https://bit.ly/43BquPd Teacher besties… this episode I’m talking about hosting nearly 30 people for Thanksgiving (including a self-appointed “Director of Thanksgiving”), discovering my husband’s family may have some intense World War II memorabilia, and the moment I suddenly had to ask, “Was he… on the right side?” And then, because the universe wasn’t done with me, we dive into a student who shotgunned a seltzer in the middle of a lesson like he was training for a frat he cannot legally join yet… and another student who thought it would be hilarious to make his teacher’s mom his Chromebook wallpaper. Plus, I’m climbing onto a hill that I know is going to get me fired up, because if we don’t fix this issue in education, nothing else even matters. Takeaways: The unexpected family “heirloom” that made me question everything I knew about my husband’s family tree. The seventh grader who cracked open a seltzer like he was at a tailgate… during a lesson on industrialization. Why I now fully believe middle schoolers work for the FBI. A brain break resource that turns even high-schoolers into unhinged backup dancers. The one education issue that will ruin every reform effort until we actually address it. -- Teachers’ night out?
