    It's Above Me Now

    Teachers know classroom chaos can escalate fast—but what happens when doing the right thing puts your job at risk? In this episode, we unpack the double standards educators face when student fights break out and safety becomes their responsibility. From teachers being punished for stepping in to schools expecting them to handle violence without training or support, we talk about what’s really going on. We share real stories, practical ways to protect yourself, and why clear boundaries with administrators matter. Because everything in that building isn’t your job—protect your peace.
