Surviving the Chaos-Student Teachers Unleashed!

We Didn't Know What We Didn't Know--Stories of Teaching Over Three Decades

In this uproarious episode, hosts Lisa and Sue dive headfirst into the wild world of student teachers, sharing their experiences and unforgettable encounters.

From the get-go, it's clear that Lisa isn't one to share her classroom easily, citing her aversion to relinquishing control, confessing that she'd rather not share her students—or her drinks! Sue wonders why the University in town never acknowledged the donation of TIME given to these students, only listing money donors in their alumni newsletter.

As the conversation unfolds, the hosts regale listeners with tales of student teachers gone awry. From the overconfident know-it-alls to the utterly clueless, Lisa and Sue have seen it all. There's the student teacher who thought the required hours were "suggestions" and the one who couldn't handle a simple two-week lesson plan without bursting into tears.

But it's not all chaos and calamity. Amidst the madness, there are moments of fun and unexpected camaraderie. They fondly remembers a male student teacher who caused a stir with his dashing good looks, while they reflected on the joy of mentoring struggling student teachers to success.

With laughter and empathy, the hosts navigate the ups and downs of mentorship, reminding listeners that teaching is as much about patience and resilience as it is about imparting knowledge.

As the episode draws to a close, Lisa and Sue extend their heartfelt thanks to their listeners for joining them on this hilarious journey through the trials and tribulations of student teaching. Whether you're a seasoned educator or a student teacher in training, "Surviving the Chaos" promises laughs, lessons, and plenty of unforgettable moments.
