Description
Get ready to laugh, learn and shake your head along with Jess and Vinny in this episode of the Hot Mess Teacher Express. We are exploring our Hot Takes on "Teachers Lounges" and whether they are a place of relaxation or the epicenter of school drama.
Jess kicks off the discussion with her firm NO WAY stance. Vinny, however, explains his need for a solo lunch, locking himself away from the bustling world of pep talks and grading. Is the Teachers Lounge a sanctuary or a stress den? Listen in to find out!
Next up, we take you on a journey comparing the American and British systems of collaborative planning and block schedules. Vinny enlightens us on the testing-based assignment approach in the US, which has Jess questioning the impact of this success-dependent system. We then grapple with the frustration of students constantly defeated by grades - a topic that will strike a chord with many educators.
Are you ready for the HOT or NOT segment? Dive into the world of Teachers venting at lunch where Vinny shares his unique venting style. Then buckle up as they discuss the not-so-hot moment when admin asks you not to sit with your grade/department during meetings. Vinny loathes this directive, while Jess has a hilarious response that will leave you in stitches.
The "Grind My Gears" segment will have you nodding in agreement and laughing out loud as Vinny and Jess share their pet peeves about people who yell on the phone and more. Prepare for some epic rants that will make you feel seen and heard.
Finally, our hosts give a shout-out to the underdogs in education - the ITL and Team Leads. Find out why they deserve some appreciation, even amidst the mess of teaching.
This episode is a rollercoaster of laughter, debates, rants, and deep-dives into the world of teaching. Whether you're a fan of the Teachers Lounge or prefer a quiet corner, join us as we uncover the highs, lows, and hilarious happenings of the teaching world.
Choo! Choo!
