Teachers Are Security Guards Without Handcuffs, School Smells | The Teacher’s Lounge Ep. 60

Описание: Welcome back to **The Teacher’s Lounge**, where the staff is exhausted, the kids are feral, and the district is running standardized testing like it’s the Olympics…except nobody’s winning and everyone’s crying.

In **Episode 60**, the Three Amigos are back to unpack:

Why *i-Ready testing* basically turns teachers into test proctors with trauma
How credential programs are the *bar exam for teachers*
Why admin and “education gatekeepers”
Snacks being banned because districts are terrified of lawsuits
The legendary *toilet seat hall pass*
Middle school hygiene crimes
And why teaching is basically being a *security guard with no pepper spray, no authority, and no money*

Class is in session.
