We Didn't Know What We Didn't Know--Stories of Teaching Over Three Decades
Staff Infections (Meetings)
Welcome to We Didn't Know What We Didn't Know, where retired teachers Sue and Lisa spill the tea—and maybe some coffee—on life in the classroom and beyond. In this episode, they tackle the universal torment of school staff meetings with a brilliant survival tool: Staff Meeting Bingo. Because if you're stuck in a meeting that could’ve been an email, you might as well turn it into a game!
Sue and Lisa share real-life anecdotes about the "What-If" warriors, latecomers who materialize like magicians, and the mysterious phenomenon of people leaning against bookcases like they’re auditioning for a cologne ad. From the muncher with their loud apples to doodlers perfecting their mini-masterpieces, this episode captures the entire staff at these required tests of endurance.
And listen to the story of a teacher trying to choose a Match.com photo during school hours—or the same guy who casually swiped a sip of the principal’s Coke mid-meeting like it was his God-given right.
When staff meetings drag on, you can either laugh—or fall asleep and claim narcolepsy.
Don’t forget to grab your own bingo card! It’s the only way to win at the never-ending mediocrity marathon. 🏆
