Lisa is officially retired, but before we celebrate, it is time to discuss the end of a great school year with a Gaga pit, bloody dunk tanks, road rash, a caterpillar vagina, and a flaming middle finger. #teacher #teacherfunny #teacherprobs #teacherblogger #teacherquotes #teachertalk #teacherlove #teacherfun #teachersofthegram #teacherstatus #teachertips #teacherideas #teachersoninstagram #teacher...

As the retiring Lisa cleans out her classroom for the last time, she is asking herself the same question most teachers have asked for decades, "Why is that here?"  We have found some crazy things in our classrooms, and in our desks.  How about you? If you have pictures of the funny or strange items from your desk, please email them to us at podcastwedidntknow@gmail.com or post on our Fac...

There is nothing more ridiculous than keeping all those scraps of construction paper in a giant scrap box.  From petrified cupcakes to balls of poster putty...thousands of binder clips to science supplies...teachers keep everything, just in case. #teacher #teacherfunny #teacherprobs #teacherblogger #teacherquotes #teachertalk #teacherlove #teacherfun #teachersofthegram #teacherstatus #teachertips...

We find the winner of our Teach It Game Show by playing a speed round of "Real or Not Real."  Did Lisa have a student with a foot fetish or one who wouldn't wear shoes?  Did Sue teach a boy who was afraid of the color yellow?  Did we know of a substitute who forgot to come back to class after lunch?  Hear more of our stories, and laugh along as we crown our winner!   #teacher #teach...

Sue and Lisa have so many stories on this topic that it is going to take two episodes to cover them all!  In part one, we kind of lose our minds.   Let's just say there were puddles left behind when taping.  Bring along a towel when you listen.  The unexpected things that we hear as teachers often blindside us, but they make our job so much fun.  Hair stories, finger stories, and misunderstan...

No matter how great a day of teaching and learning is going, children and adults alike have to deal with bodily functions.  Sue, Lisa, and some friends share stories related to the mishaps of solids, liquids and gases that they didn't know they had to deal with as teachers.  This episode is not for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach.  Picker flickers, Fiber One Bernard, hot boxing ,and...

Sue and Lisa are again joined by some teacher friends to share some "SFD" teaching moments.  This is the secret code that we used to explain those moments in teaching where swearing is needed but not allowed.  Hopefully, you will figure it out.  Laugh along with us as we share stories such as: the obnoxious ship horns on sick days, a sign language mishap, and the Legend of the Beaver and...

Sue and Lisa are joined by past and present teacher friends who share examples of rules that are just plain stupid (We know stupid is not a nice word but, "Oh well"). We talk about the injustices of wooden spoons,  A to B, illegal fist bumps, attractive gym suits, and a macho fire marshal with his 10% rule.   Please listen and laugh along with us.   #teacher #teacherfunny #teacherprobs #...

Sue and Lisa share stories of times when they were blindsided during their teaching experiences.  Find out about the confusing Mr. Bones puzzle, granny panty cleaning cloths, NOT potpies, and tornado watches.  Sue finishes the story of the three hamsters named Chester.  Listen and hopefully laugh along with us as we didn't see THAT coming!  #teacher #teacherfunny #teacherprobs #teacherblogger...
