While Charlotte was enjoying a bit of nitrous oxide at a dentist appointment, Nancy chatted with former principal and punster Jon Baker, who shared his thoughts  about behavior management, teacher observations, and the role of the site administrator. 

It was only a matter of thyme before we would get some sage advice from this dill-y of a human being! (Take THAT, Jon!)

The playground is a world of its own. Every day there are new tales of what your students have done during the 15 minutes you rushed to eat, pee, make copies, and check your mailbox. (Did you notice the importance of commas in that sentence?!) What happens when teachers face-plant on the playground? It's ugly, but most of the time, it's funny! Charlotte and Nancy share their ideas for minimizing student problems during unstructured time.  Plus, how do you deal with negative coworkers? And don't miss this week's "Hell Yeah!".

Professional courtesy. Is it still a thing? All facets of the school community can do better when it comes to extending professional courtesy to teachers, including teachers! Hear Nancy preach moderately medication-induced hellfire and brimstone from her soapbox while Charlotte interjects with finesse and style. This episode is not long on laughs, but hopefully it will start some much-needed conversations.
