Help Me Rhonda

What really happens inside today's classrooms? And what do teachers wish every parent understood?

This week, we're joined by veteran elementary school teacher Rhonda (Miss Varnell) for one of our most honest and entertaining conversations yet. From teaching kids to read and navigating Chromebooks, to ADHD, dyslexia, curriculum changes, and the realities of parent-teacher communication, Rhonda gives us a candid look at life on the other side of the classroom door.

Along the way, we laugh about ID10T errors, Sears catalogs, trophy culture, and second graders who somehow manage to hand out life advice better than most adults.

Whether you're a parent, educator, grandparent, or just someone who still remembers the teacher who changed your life, this episode is a reminder that great teachers do far more than teach reading and math—they help shape who we become.

It's heartfelt, hilarious, occasionally opinionated, and full of practical insight from someone who's spent decades helping children succeed.
