Summary

How many grams of protein are in… what now?

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon are joined by special guest content creator Lo Swo, and are going to be focusing on the parents. While normally a parent being involved in their kids' education is fantastic, sometimes it can turn into a real hindrance to us teachers. Speaking of students, our special guest has brought her own personal list of the funniest things she's heard in the classroom that you would never believe.

Some parents just need to chill out. We have seen it all, parents asking for a month's worth of lectures on a USB, or treating the education system like a Netflix subscription, every classroom has at least one overbearing parent. But don't worry, you're not alone, we have both the best tips and tricks for dealing with these parents, and some of the most ridiculous stories on this week's episode!

Now our guest Lo Swo has been keeping a comprehensive list of her student's weirdest statements, and has been kind enough to share it with us this week. From asking how many grams of protein are in interesting items, to a lot of discussions about smelling hands, you wouldn't believe the kinds of things these kids talk about!
