This week’s episode swings wildly between "please tell me that didn’t just come out of my mouth" and "how is this legal in schools?"
First, we’ve got a teacher who meant to say “stop jacking around” and... well, you can guess how that went. I lose it (obviously), because every teacher has had one of those moments where your brain short-circuits in front of 30 teenagers.
Then, we flip the tone completely for a story that rocked me: a teacher gets repeated death threats from an anonymous student, every day, in Spanish, via Google Classroom. When the system failed her, she became her own detective, and the ending? Infuriating.
Plus, I talk about being misread online, learning Spanish for real this time, and a resource that can actually save your life when it’s time to break instructions down step-by-step for 42 different learning styles.
Takeaways:
A teacher’s slip of the tongue turns into a room-wide freeze frame of secondhand embarrassment.
One educator faces death threats for days—with no help from anyone but herself.
I spiral about being called racist online… for liking authentic Mexican food too much?
I commit (again) to learning Spanish—this time with Duolingo and vengeance.
My favorite AI resource to break down multi-step directions into something even a kid on zero sleep can follow.
