Episode 329: Brain Rot Scheduling Chaos, Holding Firm on Accountability, and Finding Joy After Burnout
Description
Back from Thanksgiving break with three weeks 'til Christmas—and it’s already chaos. In this episode, CJ talks about navigating shifting schedules due to sports tournaments, whether to cancel the long-awaited brain rot project, and how to reset classroom expectations in December. He also dives into what to do when students trash-talk you for holding them accountable, how to come back after a rough sickness, and where to find encouragement when your admin won’t give it. Plus: funny holiday game ideas on the cheap, showing grace to students with medical challenges, and a look at joyful teaching as a healing practice.
