Summary: Being a “good teacher” doesn’t mean burning yourself out to prove it. In this episode of Hall Pass, we dig into the impossible standards education has slapped on teachers—Pinterest-worthy classrooms, late-night grading marathons, and the myth that the first car in the parking lot is also the best teacher. Spoiler: it’s not. Instead, we’ll redefine what actually makes a teacher good (hint: it’s not laminating your lesson plans), talk about how to stop chasing outside validation, and share practical ways to feel successful without losing your sanity. Because a sustainable teacher isn’t just a “good” teacher—they’re the kind of teacher who actually lasts.
