From PLCs to PBIS to IEPs, education has turned everyday conversations into a bowl of alphabet soup that even seasoned teachers struggle to swallow. In this episode of Vice Principal UnOfficed, join me, your host Lisa Hill as I take you inside the world of school acronyms—why we love them, how they confuse everyone else, and what happens when your staff meeting starts sounding more like a codebreaking mission.

Host Lisa Hill peeks into the world of school staff romance. Who knew the faculty handbook needed a section called School Staff Romance: What Not to Do? Turns out, while some staff stuck to their assigned duties—like, you know, teaching—others turned 'duties as assigned' into their own romantic elective. Extra credit, anyone?
