The Day “Keep Your Hands to Yourself” Took on a New Meaning
Manage episode 520981386 series 3566035
This week’s episode had me clutching my pearls and questioning everything I thought I knew about middle schoolers. We got a voicemail about a student caught doing something unthinkable during class and somehow, it gets worse. Teachers, you are not paid enough for this level of trauma.
Then, I share the foreword from my upcoming book They Never Taught Us That, talk about what inspired it, and reveal a resource that actually helps teachers get feedback that matters. Spoiler: it’s not from your administrator.
Takeaways:
The most uncomfortable voicemail of all time and Andrea’s horrified (but honest) reaction.
Why middle school might just be the most chaotic age in human history.
A sneak peek into Andrea’s upcoming book, including her emotional foreword about what teaching really teaches you.
A resource that helps educators gather feedback that’s actually useful not just bureaucratic.
Andrea’s reflection on surviving awkwardness, embarrassment, and burnout with humor (and caffeine).
