Hot Mess Teacher Express Podcast
Comedy:Comedy Interviews
This week it’s all about the long-debated topic: Is the school week too long? Spoiler alert - Vinny jumps in with a resounding "YES!" while also expressing concern about prepping students for the five-day work week grind. Jess counters with a passionate argument for work-life balance that has us all wishing we could clock out early.
Taking a detour, we compare principals in the US and UK. Trust us, it gets as wild as ice cream sandwich day in the lunchroom. The pressures, the respect, the horrifying trips to the British head master’s office - being a principal seems more intense than we ever thought.
Speaking of intensity, ever thought of strategically scheduling doctors’ appointments to sneak in a full day off? Sounds like Vinny may have this down to an art form. We even discuss becoming the old folks at the community pool – truly a retirement dream.
Delving deeper into the realms of teaching contracts, we shed light on the infamous “other duties as assigned” clause. Turns out it really grinds Vinny’s gears when people turn introductions into soliloquies in meetings, and Jess provides a golden 30-second nugget that will have you in splits.
Lastly, our underdogs in education this episode are Administrative Assistants. We all know they are the most powerful and important people in school. They keep everything running while we teachers grapple with the intricacies of the school week.
Join us as we navigate through the maze that is our teaching lives, sprinkled with laughter, rants, and a lot of empathy.
Choo! Choo!
