Welcome to Chalkboard and Chill!

This is the podcast where two teachers share unfiltered opinions, real stories, and all the behind-the-scenes chaos of life in the classroom.

In this episode, Larrissa and Tom dive deep into the chaos, pressure, and peculiar humour that define exam season in schools. From burnt-out teachers to students who ask for last-minute favours like it’s a group chat, nothing is off-limits.

They reflect on how exams shape school life—for better or worse—and share candid thoughts on the emotional toll, the unrealistic expectations, and the need for more independent, motivated learners. It's not all doom and gloom though—there are laughs, moments of classroom innocence, and even a shout-out to the importance of food during exams (snacks = survival).

Whether you're a fellow teacher, a curious parent, or just here for the bants, this episode is packed with relatable stories, sharp insights, and a reminder that education is about so much more than test scores.
