There's no way he can fail all of us… right? Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they ask the question, can teachers fail a whole class? And we can't help but notice that people who hang out with the principal after work gets special treatment, is that fair? Finally, should we believe kids when they say their sick? Or are they just trying to get out of the spelling test for this week? We've all heard the old excuse of "well they can't fail all of us", but according to admin, teachers definitely could. At the end of the day, if everyone is failing, is it actually on the students, or is the teacher not covering material well enough? Do the kids deserve a curve, or do they need to lay in the bed they've made? Tune in to find out what we think! We feel like we've all been in the situation where you find out your boss is actually a pretty cool person, but is it moral to go grab a beer with them after work? I mean yeah sure, when I'm hanging out with our principal I get a better schedule, and smaller classroom sizes, but that's not favoritism right? Sick students are such a common occurrence in the classroom, but why haven't we gotten a better system for sending them home? Have we learned nothing from the pandemic? Why do we send sick students back into the classroom after visiting the nurse? Is it our job to clean up after a student blows chunks, or should their parents have listened to them when they said they weren't feeling good? Jump right in! 04:22 - Classroom Failure Debate 10:45 - Admin Role Controversy 15:30 - African-American Teacher Exodus 21:58 - Favoritism Fallout 29:15 - Teacher-Administrator Dynamics 33:40 - Peer Pressure Tactics So grab a bucket and a mop because our teachers might have to clean up a bit of barf on this week's episode of Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers. _________________________________________________________ Crying In My Car Podcast: Presented By Bored Teachers
