Summary

This week Devin Siebold and James Yon are crying in their cars over having to deal with difficult parents in schools. Devin discovers Michigan's secret educational weapon: identical teaching twins (double the eyes, double the trouble!) and puzzles over a prodigious 16-year-old Oklahoma teacher with three degrees (Does she even remember a world where Steve Irwin existed?). Meanwhile, a superintendent takes the 'sailing into the sunset' approach amidst a timecard scandal, prompting Devin to ponder the state of her vacation finances.

James delves deep into the parent-teacher dimension, offering sage advice on handling those tricky parent-teacher conferences. Face-to-face? Sounds great, unless it’s at a Chili's happy hour and the reason for the meet-up rhymes with 'your kid makes me drink'. And finding common ground? Let's just say some terrains are a bit rockier than others.

Finally, we dive into parent territory, investigating a mom giving some good ol’ lip service at school and another with TikTok rule fame. From musical dining bans to enforced piano servitude, these rules sound like a mix of a reality show and a parenting guide gone rogue.

So grab those grading pens, because Devin and James are about to take you on a wild ride!
