Teacher's Lounge // Never thought I would’ve…

Earlier in December, Loopy Luna and Sunseeker Drea came together for 2021's final chat in the teacher's lounge. To be sir Frank, us teachers are EXHAUSTED and we stay complex. We’ll take you into the thick of our lives on how we’ve managed covid cases in our classrooms and how we stay afloat by (un)structuring our lives. We chat about breaking bones and the Black art of dancing, Luna finishing her master’s and Drea’s remarkable year of “Never Thought I Would’ve”.

Be sure to stay till the end for behind the scenes of what goes down in the teacher’s lounge (aka Bloopers!)
