Summary
Tell loves the idea of the idea of a 4-day work week, and Gabe is quick to praise the amazing culture at his school.
Lauran chimes in with her own experience of decision-making in administration and how it affects teacher's lives, while Bri gushes about the positive culture in her school. But don't worry, Gabe's got jokes for days and doesn't let anyone get too sappy.
We also discuss the importance of school climate and how it can make or break buy-in at any school and we share stories of former admins who were beloved by all, and the impact they had on the school community.
In everyone's favorite segment, "Good or Garbage" with Gabe, we ROAST less-than-stellar school swag, and discuss the importance of student involvement in school culture, with Gabe sharing how his school lets the seniors design tee shirts.
But it's not all laughs, as Bri brings up a shocking discovery - teachers having to pay for their own substitute on sick days. The hosts share their own experiences and hilariously lament the absurdity of it all.
This episode concludes with a heartfelt teacher shoutout that Bri reads with pride and gratitude.
