Welcome to Chalkboard and Chill!
You know those teacher phrases we all swore we’d never use? Yeah… turns out we’re using them.
In this episode, Tom and Larrissa crack up (and cringe a little) over the classics like, “The bell doesn’t dismiss you, I do,” and “They behave for me.”
But it’s not just about funny one-liners! This chat gets into the real struggles behind those phrases, like how tricky it can be to hold authority in the classroom, the way language shapes student behaviour, and why teachers often feel the pressure to be superheroes. Tom and Larrissa also talk burnout, work-life balance, and why sometimes blaming school policy is the easiest way to dodge a classroom showdown!
Whether you’re a teacher, parent, or just curious about what goes on behind the staffroom door, this episode offers an open and insightful look into the teaching profession.
