From Jay's "girl dad" life to Anna's desk-climbing Dead Poets Society moment, the trio shares the genius hacks and hilarious fails that keep their classrooms (and sanity) intact. Whether it's using UNO cards to track participation or rage-screaming with students as a brain break, this episode is packed with real-life strategies that actually work—plus a few that didn't. They dive into how AI tools like ChatGPT are changing the game for both teachers and students, and how they're learning to work smarter not harder by embracing technology without losing the heart of teaching. You'll hear them swap stories about student manipulation, mystery shopper behavior systems, the power of handwritten work in a tech-heavy world, and what happens when a student can't read their own handwriting. It's the real teacher talk you didn't know you needed. Listen now & don't forget to subscribe!
