How Principal Lamb Almost Burned Down His Classroom

We Are Fine

Show Notes

In Episode 11, Jordan faces his ultimate punishment: dressing up as a pineapple and eating pineapple pizza. But that’s just the beginning! We are then joined by Principal Jared Lamb and his wife, Brenna, for an insightful and hilarious conversation about education, leadership, and the power of being present in schools.

Takeaways: Pineapple Pizza Punishment – Jordan pays the price for losing the bet, sitting through the entire episode dressed as a pineapple while eating cold pineapple pizza. The Power of Presence in Schools – Principal Lam explains why he gave up a traditional office in favor of a rolling cart, making him more accessible to students and staff. A Science Experiment Gone Wrong – A high school biology experiment involving fire, lighters, and an unexpected classroom disaster almost ended Principal Lam’s teaching career on day one. Balancing Leadership and Parenting – Brenna shares insights into what it’s like to be married to an educator and how their family navigates school, work, and parenting. Creating Safe Spaces in Education – Lauran and Jordan discuss the importance of teachers making students feel supported, heard, and valued in and out of the classroom.
