Episode 318 brings another round of real questions from real educators around the world—including one all the way from Iran.

This week we dig into:

• What to do when students are below grade level, but admin says “teach the curriculum anyway”

• Strategies for students who refuse to follow class procedures and transitions

• How to respond when parents enable poor behavior—even on day three

• Should you accept late work in high school? (Let’s talk about it.)

• Practical ways teachers can boost energy and prioritize health

• Managing obnoxious (but not intentionally rude) students

• How to run teacher detentions that are actually useful

• How to teach in multiple classrooms you can’t decorate or make your own

• Ideas for teaching multigrade classes with multiple curricula

• How to decide what to wear for a full week of teaching

• Navigating extended medical leave as a teacher

• What to do when students are mad about assigned seats

• Feeling overwhelmed by the messiness of teaching

• Building connections as an ESL teacher when you don’t speak the same language
