This week’s voicemails reminded me why teachers deserve Oscars for keeping it together. One teacher shares the horror of being publicly asked if she’s pregnant and another walks us through a “balloon” disaster that turned out to be something… very not balloon-like. Plus, I unpack the best advice I ever got from an administrator about what to do when kids say something so wild you have to literally turn and face the wall.
A choir teacher’s nightmare: a seventh grader publicly asking if she’s pregnant, complete with hand motions.
The admin advice that changed how Andrea handles those can’t-laugh-right-now moments.
Why students will always “rather seem like a badass than a dumbass.”
A “balloon” story that turned into the world’s most awkward cleanup.
The lesson every teacher learns eventually: if it’s round, floating, and suspiciously slippery… don’t kick it.
