This week, Leslie, Jess, and Principal Lamb are bringing the heat with some of the spiciest hot takes in education. From the great debate on lesson plans and Chromebooks to whether schools should differentiate for teachers like they do for students, no topic is off-limits. Plus, we’re talking TikTok virality, relationships with students, and why “some kids are just jerks” might not be as simple as it sounds. But it’s not just laughs and classroom stories—this episode also takes a thoughtful turn, exploring the emotional toll of teaching and the importance of prioritizing self-care. The hosts open up about how they’ve navigated burnout, set boundaries, and found joy even in the most challenging seasons. With practical advice, heartfelt reflections, and a good dose of comedic relief, this episode is a reminder that teachers aren’t just shaping the next generation—they’re superheroes who deserve to feel empowered and supported in their own journeys. Whether you're a teacher or someone who loves one, this conversation will leave you inspired and smiling. You’ll laugh, nod along, and maybe even rethink a thing or two about how schools run.  Oh, and don’t miss the Board Teachers Comedy Tour update – it’s officially a world tour!
