This voicemail had me fully sweating. A teacher casually drops that a full SWAT team showed up at her school… and the kicker? It wasn’t even a drill. We’re talking lockdowns, military gear, weapons drawn, and a group of students who were just trying to get to lunch.
And the reason they showed up? Ohhhh, you are not ready. I spiral through the possibilities, ask all the wrong questions, and react in real-time to what is possibly the most over-the-top, under-explained escalation in school discipline history.
If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to go from supervising recess to being in the middle of a tactical operation, this one’s for you.
Another caller shares what happened when a vending machine break-in led to a full-on student confession… and some unexpected admin energy.
We talk about what happens when the punishment doesn’t match the crime and whether schools are just winging it at this point.
I try to get serious (briefly) about boundaries, blame, and how kids process consequences even when the adults aren’t getting it right.
And for anyone trying to survive this week intact, I drop a resource that might actually help you feel like a human again.
