About this listen

 Welcome back to **The Teacher’s Lounge**, where the faculty is tired, the kids smell like Hot Cheetos, and somehow we’re still expected to submit attendance on time. In **Episode 59**, the Three Amigos are back together, running on fumes and ranting about the real middle school experience: * Hosting family in LA like you’re a Four Seasons tour guide * Credential hoops that feel like the teacher bar exam * Snacks being banned because… liability, of course * Bathroom pass policies turning schools into TSA checkpoints * And the truth: teaching is basically law enforcement stress… without the handcuffs If you’ve ever felt like a security guard trapped in a bouncy house full of hormones… welcome home. Pull up a chair. The lounge is open. --- 00:00 – Intro & welcome back 05:41 – Viewer comments + getting into teacher life 13:39 – Snacks banned because districts fear lawsuits 15:24 – Kids are “starving”… but refuse the burrito you buy 20:16 – Attendance stress + kids asking 14 questions at once 22:15 – Bathroom pass madness = Six Flags steam bath line 23:14 – Strict hall pass system + dean sign-offs 29:32 – Square school pizza causes hemorrhoids (apparently) 45:17 – Cutting WiFi is the ultimate parenting discipline 47:32 – Final thanks + keep sending questions --- #teachersloungepodcast #teacherpodcast #teacherlife #educationcomedy #teacherburnout #classroomstories #schoolculture #funnypodcast #teachinginamerica #publiceducation #facultylounge --- If this episode made you laugh, cringe, or whisper *“yep… that’s teaching”*: 👉 **Like** the video so more exhausted teachers find the lounge 👉 **Subscribe** for weekly therapy disguised as comedy 👉 **Comment** your worst bathroom-pass or interruption story 👉 **Share** with a coworker who smells like dry erase markers and despair We’re building the lounge one stressed-out educator at a time. ---
