Shut Up, Sit Down, and Earn A Marble

We Didn't Know What We Didn't Know--Stories of Teaching Over Three Decades

In this new episode, Sue and Lisa take a trip down memory lane to explore the evolution of school discipline. From the intimidating Board of Education (a.k.a. the paddle) to today’s mindfulness exercises, they unpack the absurd, sometimes traumatizing, and always memorable tactics teachers have used to keep classrooms in check.

Get ready for laugh-out-loud stories about group shaming, the dreaded name-on-the-board punishment, the mystery of marble jars, and the token economies that prepared us all for capitalism. Whether you were a “three-checkmark rebel” or the kid who tanked the class pizza party, this episode will have you rolling in the aisles—or at least writing “I will not talk in class” 300 times.

Tune in for a comedic celebration of how far we’ve come…and how much we secretly miss the drama of the sparkly marble jar!
