_________________________________

There's absolutely nothing wrong with being a bit quirky, but some teachers really like to push those limits. Our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Bri Richardson, and Anna Kowal know that better than anyone, and they're going to be sharing the worst things their fellow teachers do that drive the rest of the school crazy. 

We all know that teachers are a unique breed, and sometimes their quirks can make things a bit… interesting. For example Bri shares a hilarious tale about a teacher who always insists on wearing a different themed outfit for each day of the week. While some may roll their eyes, tune in to find out Bri’s optimistic point of view on this situation.

But it's not all quirks and icks, our hosts also discuss the delightful surprises their fellow teachers bring to the table. Whether it's homemade goodies at staff meetings or a sweet thank-you note, these teachers know how to dish out kindness and create a positive school culture.

 

Jump right to it!
