Teacher Brain-Blessing or Burden?

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

In their 49th podcast episode, "The Teacher Brain—Blessing or Burden?", hosts Sue and Lisa dive into the eternal struggle of turning off the "teacher brain." From accidentally organizing strangers' children at the park to obsessing over classroom supplies, these retired teachers can't help but see the world through an educational lens. They recount a failed attempt at a perfectly planned birthday party, share funny anecdotes about summer jobs, and explore how their ingrained teaching instincts still pop up in daily life. They even have a fantastic SPEED ROUND of teacher brain triggers. Whether it's resisting the urge to correct misbehaving kids in public or collecting rocks for potential lessons that no longer exist, their teacher brains never truly turn off.
