He Threatened to Poop on My Desk
Manage episode 486381616 series 3566035
It’s Episode 50, and honestly… what better way to celebrate than with a voicemail about a student who threatened to poop on a teacher’s desk?
This week, I’m unpacking end-of-year exhaustion (May energy is real and it’s violent), plus the wildest school stories you sent in—including kids confessing their sex lives mid-English class and throwing Pop-Tarts in rage. We’re also talking about failing infrastructure, disappearing school funding, and how to literally show up to your state legislature and say, “Hey boo, we gotta talk.”
And if you’ve ever asked a student a simple question and immediately regretted it… welcome. You’re home.
Takeaways:
A student skipped class and promised to defecate on the teacher’s desk if she told. (Yes, really.)
Why a district told teachers to use buckets because the water was off—and how that might violate health code.
What actually happens when you show up to your state legislature to speak—and how to do it without getting immediately ignored.
A student accidentally reveals her entire relationship drama in response to “Hey, what happened to your eye?”
Andrea unpacks the AI writing tool hidden inside Canva—and what it means for your students' essays
