How To Survive The Classroom

Did a 13-Year-Old Just Outsmart the School Firewall?


Listen Later

You ever discover something about your teacher that made your teenage brain short-circuit? Yeah, me too. So this week, I dove headfirst into the teacher lore rabbit hole, because nothing says professional development like finding out your music teacher once chucked a desk at a kid. Oh, and remember the DARE program? Apparently, not everyone took it as seriously as I did.

We’re also unpacking some jaw-dropping listener voicemails, including one about fake TikToks that nearly cost a teacher her career and another involving a very tech-savvy middle schooler... and a VPN. Buckle up. I laughed, I cringed, I screamed internally. You will too.

Takeaways:

  • A mysterious student prank reveals the dark side of digital identities.

  • Why that one teacher still gives off “could’ve been in a biker gang” vibes.

  • The accidental video that made students think Andrea had a secret hip-hop past.

  • The story that turned one pregnancy into an emergency delivery.

  • Why middle schoolers and unfiltered internet access are a terrifying combination.
