Bri, @honestteachervibes was so good, we decided to renew her contract for another episode. We kick things off with an intense story from Devin about a trip to Disney that was less than magical. You'll be shocked to find out what happened, TWICE.

Teachers are back in the news with an educator that taught for a combined 77 years and the middle school, high school, and collegiate levels. We cover a TA that brought their stash to school. Finally, we talk about a newly approved teacher housing initiative in Texas that is giving us revers Stockholm Syndrome vibes.

We close out the show with Devin’s list of ways teaching is like Disney World – Teacher Theme Park edition. Trust us it is indeed a very small world when you can’t escape a student, especially when randomly seated next to them on a ride.
