    1. I’m burnt out. Parents, please parent your children and listen to teachers! It’ll help tremendously with teacher and staff burnout 🔥
    2. Anyone oddly comfortable saying genital names at work, but then come home and suddenly they're bad words again?
    3. Is there anything you can do about no car seats?
