Welcome back to **The Teacher’s Lounge** — where summer is almost here, teachers are running on fumes, and somehow we're discussing testosterone replacement therapy, giant fifth graders, and the collapse of attention spans all in the same episode. This week the crew talks about: ✅ End-of-year teacher survival mode ✅ Finally finishing credential programs and escaping college (for now) ✅ TRT, biohacking, influencers, and why every guy online suddenly looks like a Marvel character ✅ Why kids are absorbing adult political anxiety they don't even understand ✅ The hardest lesson teachers learn: you can't save every student ✅ Why phones may be destroying attention spans faster than any generation realizes If you've ever tried to motivate a student who actively refuses help, watched a parent ignore an entire grading period, or wondered why kids can't sit still for 30 seconds anymore... welcome to the lounge. Grab a chair. Leave your phone face down.
