S4E5 - S04E005: Teacher Feedback — What They Wish Parents Knew

🎙️ HEY OTHER PARENTS – S04E005: Teacher Feedback — What They Wish Parents Knew

This week, we’re talking about the things teachers wish parents understood — the stuff that rarely makes it into emails, conferences, or back-to-school nights.

Inspired by honest conversations and very real educator feedback, we dig into what school looks like from the other side, why some behaviors don’t magically transfer from home to the classroom, and how good intentions can turn into accidental rescue missions.

It’s not about blame. It’s about perspective, empathy, and remembering that everyone is figuring this out in real time.

🔌 Time to Unplug

Because parents need something that isn’t about the kids.

Heit: Stranger Things finale

Sara: Being more intentional with daily time — walks, space, and small resets

Levine: Hitting the gym before work 💪
