Ageism

We Didn't Know What We Didn't Know--Stories of Teaching Over Three Decades

Welcome to our Teacher Comedy Podcast with Sue and Lisa, where they're hitting it like pros, just like they did back in '36 Sicily. In today's episode, they tackle the topic of ageism with their signature blend of humor and insight.

Sue shares the dreams she's been having after retirement, including one where Lisa's a bus driver navigating the challenges of a new job. Then she explains her recurring dream of having her old classroom turn into a Hallmark Store. But let's not forget the absurdity of getting a COVID booster offer at Costco because, well, you look old.

They reminisce about the glass display cases at school that never changed and the perpetual struggle of young teachers thinking they know better. They delve into Sue's theory that your name's relevance is directly correlated with becoming a great-grandma.

From dodging age-related assumptions to finding the humor in recurring dreams, they unpack the complexities of ageism in the teaching profession with their trademark blend of wit and wisdom. So join "2 old broads" as they navigate the hilarious and sometimes frustrating realities of getting older in a profession that often undervalues experience. Because as Sue likes to say, "Age is just a number, and so is your student loan debt."
