Riding the solo train for this episode as I read off some of the hundreds of heartbreaking messages I've been receiving from Hot Mess Teacher Express listeners/teachers about their struggles this school year. We praise an amazing superintendent that recently created a 3-day weekend for her staff and students' mental health and well-being. YES! And then I share a few stories of frustrating "gifts with puns" given to teachers by leadership with the intentions of boosting morale, but falling short. Get ready to laugh, cry, and do some serious eye-rolling!
