What Teachers Wish Parents Knew About School
If you’ve ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes at your child’s school, this episode pulls back the curtain.
Ben sits down with Kristen, a former educator turned parent support advocate, to talk about how schools function, how teachers think, and what most parents misunderstand. Together, they explore practical strategies for parents who want to better support their kids — and their schools — without overstepping or burning out.
Whether you're navigating IEPs, wondering how to talk to your child’s teacher, or simply trying to stay informed without micromanaging, this conversation is packed with clarity and compassion.
