Bourbon B.S. and Teaching: Navigating Friendships and Life through Nearly 30 Years: Part 2

Life Lessons from the Classroom: Parenting, Pandemic Teaching & More!
Welcome to another episode of Bourbon and Bullshit! Join us as we dive into part two of Bourbon Bs in teaching with our good friend Tiaa. This episode sheds light on the reality of teaching during the pandemic, dealing with feral kids as they reacclimate to classroom settings, and the often thankless job of being an educator. Listen in as we discuss classroom chaos, building essential life skills, conflict resolution, and the dynamic between teachers and parents. Plus, hear firsthand stories about handling difficult students, the importance of teaching children how to be good humans, and why those small acts of kindness from parents mean so much. Grab a drink and enjoy the candid, heartfelt, and often hilarious conversation. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and support us on Patreon for the uncut and unfiltered experience!
