We may be outnumbered, under-resourced, and emotionally drained at times, but we teachers, like Kevin McCallister in the holiday classic Home Alone are resourceful, resilient, and ultimately, victorious. Because even in the face of endless homework revisions and standardized test anxieties, educators are still working their hardest to make learning more fun for kids than, say, sledding down the stairs and out the front door. So buckle up, educators and learners, because in this episode, we're leaving the traps of the day-to-day grind behind and zip-lining into a proverbial tree house full of hilarious, surprisingly heartwarming connections to our classrooms and staff rooms. Welcome to the Pop Culture Winter Wonderland.
