Every School Has That Teacher...
<p><strong>Welcome to Chalkboard and Chill!</strong></p><br><p>In this episode Larissa and Tom dive into the wonderfully chaotic ecosystem that is school staff culture, because every school has types of teachers, and honestly… you can probably picture them immediately.</p><br><p>From Golden Retriever energy and hyper-organised planners to the permanently exhausted veteran surviving on caffeine and sarcasm, this episode hilariously breaks down the personalities that somehow keep schools functioning. Using animal comparisons, workplace archetypes, and a few very accurate observations, Larissa and Tom reflect on their own teaching personalities and the colleagues we all know (and fear).</p><br><p>There’s chaos. There’s self-awareness. There’s a slightly concerning Squid Game comparison. And somehow… it all makes perfect sense.</p><br><p>—</p><p>If you want to find out more or get involved in the show, head to:</p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chalkboardandchillpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/chalkboardandchillpodcast</a></p><p><strong>TikTok: @Chalkboardandchill</strong></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
