How Did a Normal School Day Turn Into a Raid?

This voicemail had me fully sweating. A teacher casually drops that a full SWAT team showed up at her school… and the kicker? It wasn’t even a drill. We’re talking lockdowns, military gear, weapons drawn, and a group of students who were just trying to get to lunch. And the reason they showed up? Ohhhh, you are not ready. I spiral through the possibilities, ask all the wrong questions, and react in real-time to what is possibly the most over-the-top, under-explained escalation in school discipline history.

If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to go from supervising recess to being in the middle of a tactical operation, this one’s for you.
Takeaways:
- A voicemail about a SWAT team storming a school sends me into a full-body spiral, because the reason? Unhinged.
- Another caller shares what happened when a vending machine break-in led to a full-on student confession… and some unexpected admin energy.
- We talk about what happens when the punishment doesn’t match the crime and whether schools are just winging it at this point.
- I try to get serious (briefly) about boundaries, blame, and how kids process consequences even when the adults aren’t getting it right.
- And for anyone trying to survive this week intact, I drop a resource that might actually help you feel like a human again.

Voicemail: [00:00:00] There's a knock at my classroom door, open up. It's my principal and he beckons me out the hallway and I look down the hallway and it's the, the literal SWAT team is there to arrest one of my students,
Theme: the classroom.
Andrea: Hey, teacher besties. I hope you guys are having the absolute best week because my week has been. How do, how do we put this? Um, it's the end of the school year for my children. I am working on moving from one house to another. I have my first official standup show on Saturday. I am writing my book.
Right now I'm prepping my house for sale packing because in about two weeks I'm gonna be going to California for another show and to visit family. Um, and I just got a phone call this morning that my son has hand foot. And mouth. [00:01:00] Um, which is great. And every time someone says hand, foot, and mouth, I promptly hear.
What is it called? Like hoof, hoof and mouth disease, like the disease that horses get. I don't know why, but my brain immediately exchanges those every single time. Um, but I, and I feel so bad, this is such a parent fail you guys. So my son had his like before. Kindergarten doctor's appointment yesterday morning, right?
So I took him and we went to the doctor and he's had kind of like a little bit of like a sinus thing. And he's been really just weepy, like, you know how when little kids, you'll just be like, Hey, so the sun is actually shining outside? And he's like, well, what? Why? And we'll just start. Crying and you're like, okay, what is happening?
Right. So we knew something was going on with him, but I was like, ah, he's got his doctor's appointment. I'll have her take a look. And so she takes a look and she's like, oh, maybe he's got some kind of secondary thing, like, I don't know what's going on. She [00:02:00] looks in his mouth, she sees a couple spots, right?
And I'm like. That shouldn't be there. And she's like, it's fine. It's fine. It's probably just some viral thing, not a big deal. She did not seem concerned. She looked at his hands, his feet, like there were no spots, and so she was like, it's probably just a virus. I'll give you some antibiotics for like the secondary sinus thing.
Good to go. I was like, okay, I can do, he's got like his final like presentation tomorrow night. We're good, right? And she's like, oh yeah, it's fine. No fever. So it's fine. So I take him last night and he, like, he went back to school, did the rest of the school day last night. They had the graduation for, for pre-K and for kindergarten, which.
I would love to hear from you guys on whether or not you think we need to have as many graduations as we do. Like going from preschool into elementary school, there's a graduation, and then going from kindergarten into first grade, there's a graduation. And I've shared on here before that my daughter, she [00:03:00] repeated kindergarten because she was a summer birthday and she just wasn't quite ready.
You know, we were very in between on it. We were trying to figure out what was gonna be best for her, and it became very clear that like. She could pa she could move on, right? She could go into ki to first grade this last year, but realistically, is that the best choice? And we're like, you know what, let's just, we'll, we'll have her repeat kindergarten again.
Totally fine. But she went to the graduation last year, so this was the second time she's graduated because they're not gonna be like, sorry, you can't walk. You know, like, and so I think it's, it's a sweet. Thing that I think people do, just to mark like a big occasion of like, okay, you're outta kindergarten.
Like you know how to people now, and now you're gonna go into first grade. Right? But graduating from pre-K I. Into kindergarten and then kindergarten into first grade, and then no graduations until fifth grade. And then there's a graduation from fifth grade into middle school, and then they have another graduation from eighth grade into high school.
And then you have your high school grad. Like, is it too much? Are we doing too much? I don't know, maybe I'm just dead inside. Because we didn't like, even if we had [00:04:00] done one of those, my parents would've been like, I guess we'll go. And then all of my friends would like get flowers and. I had a lot of friends that are Pacific Islanders, and so their families would also often celebrate with like a lot of lays and flowers and all of that, and they would get like candy lays and money lays and all of that.
And so my friends would be walking around, like you could barely see their face among, amongst the lays. And I would be sitting there with absolutely nothing and be like, mom. What's the vibe here? And she is like, you are going from eighth grade to ninth grade at the same school. You attend a K through 12 school, you, you do not need any of this stuff.
I'm like, alright. Geez, thanks. Um, so I would love to hear from you guys on that. Like, is it too much? Because my take is, I think it is, but I'm not sure which one we're dropping. And when my daughter goes from fifth grade to sixth grade, I probably will get her like flowers or something like that so that she's not as traumatized as I would was mom.
Um, I think they got me [00:05:00] flowers for like my senior graduation maybe. Um, also as I was sitting there in my kids' performances. It occurred to me so clearly because in these performances, right, it's a graduation, they do a little slideshow, they have these things, but then they also have all of these elementary school kids perform.
And especially with the fifth graders, they have all these fifth graders singing solos. Right? And you know, it occurred to me as I. As I was listening to one of these sweet, precious baby angels stand up there and perform that I'm not a good person because the the best parallel I could draw to the performance I was, I.
Listening to, um, was, you know, that scene in the Little Mermaid where the seagull is, is trying to like, add to the ambiance of the [00:06:00] moment and he's just doing one of those like it. I'm not saying that it was the same sound, but it was the same energy. You know, and in that moment as I was sitting there and I was literally like biting my cheek, trying to keep myself from laughing, it occurred to me that number one, I'm not a good person.
And number two, elementary teachers are so much better people than high school teachers and. There's, because there is no way in a high school performance that I, I, I couldn't, I could not, and the, the lack of self-awareness at that age, I think it's part of it, right? Because these kids are there, they're trying to perform, they're, they're like singing their sweet, precious angel hearts out.
And I'm sitting there thinking like, why are, why are we doing this? Why are we doing this? Violence to ourselves. Why are we doing this violence to these children? Like, I don't know. And I [00:07:00] would elementary teachers. If you have a child who is tone deaf, and I, to be clear, cannot sing right. I am completely tone deaf.
I don't know how to do music at all. So if I am sitting there and I'm like, this is painful to be a participant in what is happening right now. And you as an elementary teacher is sitting there and you have your whole class of little cherubs and little Sally sits up and she's like, I wanna do all solo.
Right? And you're like, oh, Sally. You can't sing. Do you guys say that or do you just say like, you know what girl you do, you, you get up there and you sing your little heart out because you know that because you love this child. Everyone's just going to like grin and bear it when it comes time for that day.
Because I feel like in high school we are far more willing to be like. You want a solo or you could help with stage management, right? Like [00:08:00] we, like redirect it around a little bit more. Or maybe it's just one of those things where like, Sally might be the only one willing to do it, even if Sally's tone deaf.
Um, I just, I have never been one of those people that, like if my kid came home and was like, I'm gonna solo and I heard it and it was horrific, I would be like. Okay. All right. Alright. I mean, I, I don't know what I would do. Like, would I just be like, yeah, Sally, get up there. I don't know. I don't know.
Children's performances just really make me think. Elementary teachers are saints because we're seeing them at this performance, at the, at the peak. This is the top level of their performance. They have practiced this like a lot. And so when we're seeing them like this is, this is the moment. So I don't know.
That's just something that, uh, occurred to me as I was absorbing the sounds into my. Ear holes. Um, speaking of sounds, you guys may at some point hear like [00:09:00] little clicky noises or little tappy noises. My sweet hand, foot and mouth deceased child is in fact in the studio with me today. He'll probably be fine because I'm letting him watch the Magic School bus right now.
So he's on his own little adventure. How very on brand for my child to be watching the Magic School bus, um, while we're recording this podcast, but yeah. So if you do hear something or like hear some like really heavy breathing, because I think his sinuses are a little inflamed right now. It's not me. It could be me, but it's, it's also maybe him.
So on that note, um, I would love to hear what has been going on with you guys. So let's listen to the first submission for this week.
Voicemail: I teach English at a an inner city alternative high school. And I guess one of the craziest things that I've had happen is, um. Teaching one day, and there was a knock on my classroom door, open up, it's my principal, and he beckons me out the hallway.
And I look down [00:10:00] the hallway and it's the, the literal SWAT team is there to arrest one of my students. Um, we're talking helmets, goggles, body armor, assault rifles, the whole. Deal. Um, I'm also informed that the building is surrounded and that all the exits are covered by the police. So then, uh, my principal asked me to go back into the classroom and call this particular student out in the hallway so that the police can arrest.
I did. Um, and he went peacefully and was, everything was fine, but I think it was, you know, I like how. The cops showed up and thought they needed a literal army to deal with this kid, where apparently it's fine for me to deal with this kid on a daily basis armed with, and a whiteboard seems to look ridiculous.
Andrea: I didn't even think about the fact that that's so true, that like the cops were so concerned about the potential danger of this student that they went [00:11:00] that far, like had all of the exits. All of that kind of stuff all set up, and then this teacher's just there every single day with the kid doing his job.
Right. I, I can't believe that you did not tell us what the kid did to get arrested. Like, I am so curious. I'm assuming something violent or some kind of threat or something like that, but I. I cannot even fathom. And I mean, thankfully the kid went peacefully. That is usually how it happens too. I've had that before where kids were either getting arrested or getting pulled out for various things and they didn't wanna make a huge scene because when kids are in the classroom still, if they are sitting there and they're like.
You know, in front of their friends getting arrested, they're way more likely to like try and pop off as opposed to in the hallway. Usually they're just gonna be like, all right, whatever. 'cause they usually know exactly why they're being arrested or detained. Um. I do think it's also crazy that swatting has [00:12:00] become a thing.
I don't know if you guys have heard of this. I've actually had a friend, um, who was running for a local school board and the competition, um, or it wasn't the competition, it wasn't my friend that got swatted, but I think that one of the kids of, one of the other people that was in the race swatted, one of the other people that was trying to get elected to the school board.
And if you don't know what swatting is. Basically you call in a threat and you try and make it seem like the threat came from that person so that the SWAT team shows up to their house. And at first it's like, okay, well like that. Like that's not cool, but you know, how big of a deal is it? And all of that, like.
When the SWAT team shows up, like imagine like your kids sleeping in their bed, you're in bed, and all of a sudden the SWAT team shows up in the middle of the night and how traumatic that would be. Like, we don't really usually think about that because generally speaking, we're hoping that the people that are having the SWAT team show up are, are the bad guys, [00:13:00] right?
Like, yeah, like I don't really care if you're waking up the guy, the bad guy in the middle of the night and wake and like getting him out of bed because he was. Doing bad crimes, like not really concerned about that. Super sad for the kids, right? If there are kids in the house, and usually I think they do try and, you know, be aware of that.
But if you were just living your life and you get swatted and I have no teachers that it's happened to as well where you know, you, you fail a kid or whatever and then a kid decides that they're gonna swat your house, which is terrifying. Um. Which, by the way, I don't know if you guys are aware, and this is at, not at all an ad whatsoever, but I do wanna make you aware of this resource that's out there before the resource section.
'cause I have something else for that. But this is just, you know, topical. Um, there is a, a. Service called Delete Me, and they actually do add. So hit me up, delete me. Um, and it will basically go through and it will find publicly listed information about you and it will delete it so that it [00:14:00] makes it harder for people to find your personal information.
I actually did that because I got a couple phone calls. And I got, um, a couple of people messaging me my own address and, you know, doing, it's so, so weird doing online content, especially in the space that I'm in, right? Like, I'm not posting thirst traps. I'm not posting like. Content that is even really for the most part, all that scandalous.
Like, I guess there are some things I say sometimes that irritate people, but for the most part I don't get that much hate on the internet. Um, what I will occasionally get is creepy dudes. And usually what I do if I get a creepy DM from a guy is I'll just block 'em. I'll block them or I will, if it's depending on how annoyed I am by their message, I will screenshot whatever they did and if they message me on the account that has their real name on it.
And their family name and all of that kind of stuff. I will occasionally actually reach out to their family and send the screenshot to them. I'm [00:15:00] known to do that. Um, and occasionally I will in fact get contacted by, um, people I. In ways that are kind of creepy. And so after that, I did sign up for Delete Me.
And so it deleted like my name and all my contact information, um, from like the county files and all of that kind of stuff to make it a little bit harder. And I'm sure like if someone is sleuthing super, super hard and they are really good at it, then they can figure they, you know, it's, it's impossible to be completely anonymous these days, but it is a really good website.
So if you are especially working in a district where you're concerned about your safety or. Maybe you teach in a prison or something like that, um, then that is an option for you. Although, funny enough, I feel like I've heard recently from people that they really enjoyed working in prisons because they get to do a lot of really cool stuff when they're working in prisons and have a lot more flexibility and, and all of that kind of stuff.
And, um, so yeah, just, just as a little, a little something for you to keep in mind. It's not super cheap. [00:16:00] I think it's like $200 a year, but if the concern is real enough for you, then, you know, it's, it's a good investment. So, alright, let's listen to the second story sent in this week
Voicemail: on my very first day of teaching.
Ever might I add? I wasn't even a licensed teacher yet. I was in the process and due to the teacher shortage, I was able to finish my master's degree while being a first year teacher. Anyway, on the very first day of teaching ever about halfway through the day, let's say it's period four, one of my students mid introductions, mid going over contracts expectations stands up.
Opens up a paperclip and shoved it in the electrical outlet, and sparks literally fell to the ground stunned. I called the office, I told her I guess she needed to go to the office because [00:17:00] fire, and she left. Of course, she returned the next day.
Andrea: Oh my gosh. I feel like this is something so many teachers are going through right now.
I think I talked about it in some of the last couple of episodes that we have. There's like they're saying it's a trend. I don't actually know if it's a trend or if it's just like one kid did it and now a bunch of kids are. I guess it might makes it a trend, right? Like Andrea, that's literally what trend is.
But like kids are sticking. Metal, paperclips, staples, all of that into the charging ports of their Chromebooks and damaging property and doing some light arson. Um, but it sounds like this kid was an innovator and one of the first to really get a jump on that. So amazing for you. It doesn't, it always seem like in the first year, that's kind of the vibe that kids get, is there like.
Maybe I should start a fire today. Right. I, I will say also that I do talk a lot about these kinds of things that happened to me in my first year teaching in [00:18:00] my book that's coming out in May of 2026, which felt very far away when I started writing it, and now it's just a year away, which is very exciting.
Um. But I have a lot of stories like that where I was so dumb because I would tell them like, yeah, it's my first year teaching, and like, could you put a larger target on yourself? Like, especially because like the, the person who sent in that voice memo, I also wasn't licensed when I first started teaching.
I was like in the program and all of that kind of stuff, and so I really didn't know what I was doing and they were like, yeah, she is a mark for sure. She is an. Easy, easy, mark. Um, so that would be my recommendation is it never helps to tell them. If you are an early career teacher, don't tell. Like if you're in your first three years of teaching, don't acknowledge it.
If they ask how long you've been teaching, doesn't matter. I'm, it's the first time I'm teaching you sit down, stop talking because it, the second that they find [00:19:00] out that you are an early career teacher, they're gonna be like, oh, cool. Yeah, we're gonna do whatever we want. It's kinda like when you go to sub day, and here's the thing, I was guilty of this, I know I was guilty of this because I had this teacher in my school that was a, she was like a civics and economics teacher, and I remember she shows up.
Rolls up and is just so green in a way that you could tell she was green. And I'm generally a very empathetic person. Like I don't enjoy seeing people in pain. I don't enjoy like seeing people look stressed or embarrassed or struggling or anything. And I remember really finding some joy in her pain because she made the, I think, really basic.
Mistake of letting us know that she didn't like us. And as a teacher, especially an early career teacher, really all you have much control over in those early [00:20:00] days is like, at least let them know you're trying and you like them. Right? And that is something that I think sometimes get gets missed is like, Hey, you should they, they should think you like them.
You don't have to like 'em. Right. Like you either have to actually like them or be good at faking it because a kid who thinks you don't like them or knows you don't like them, what, like what? What do they have in the game to try and get along with you then? Like if they know you're gunning for them, get outta here.
And I remember her very clearly disliking us and very clearly liking a couple of other students. And we were just like. No, like I did get in trouble though. I will. This is one of the few times in high school. I got in really big trouble because my parents, one of their very basic rules for us was that we treated the adults and the authorities that were over us with respect.
We didn't have to like 'em, we didn't have to agree with them, but we were not to get mouthy with them. And I got [00:21:00] mouthy. I know that's a shock for so many of you, but I did. Um, I can't remember what it, oh, I know what it was. She was wrong. See, I'm still, I'm still indignant because now I have my doctor in this, and she was wrong because she was teaching something outta the book, and the book said one thing and she said another.
And I'm like, ma'am, it says this. She's like, no, it doesn't. And I'm like. Okay. But it does so, and as a teacher, I'm sure it was a nightmare, but I hope she learned a lot of lessons. She's still teaching, so I hope she's, well, she's learned a lot of lessons. Um, but it was one of those that like early career teachers, you, you have to really try and make your students at least think that you're trying.
To teach them and that you're trying to like them and do what's best for them because you, if you don't have that, like truly you have nothing. Um, but I have something for you guys today. I am very excited because this is a resource I used when I was in the classroom and now it's an even better resource, and I'm gonna tell you all about it [00:22:00] right after this.
All right guys, welcome back. So I will say that I am doing a bit of a pivot here because common Lit was a resource I used a lot when I was an English teacher. Um, and it is free with the caveat that you have a school I. Email address, and now I have a university email address and so it won't let me actually go on there.
And so I can't update you guys on the fun things with common lit. Um, real quick before I go into the other resource that I found for you today, I do wanna tell you the great thing about common lit is that a lot of times you can like select the reading level that you give to your students. Um, they sometimes have other alternate languages that you can choose for your students.
Um, the Lexile scores, all of that kind of stuff. Definitions, quiz questions. All of that. And a lot of times they also do it with like up to date, like recent articles and stuff like that. So, um, as long as you have a local district email address, it should work for you. Um, but you know, let me know in the comments if common [00:23:00] lit is no longer free.
You, because when I was teaching it absolutely was, but I can't even check now because I only have my university email and I don't have like. A normal school district email anymore. Um, so the resource I'm gonna tell you about instead is going to be from Scholastic. You remember those old school like magazines we used to get as kids and all of that?
Those still exist. Um, this is primarily for my sweet, wonderful elementary teachers. Um, and these are a bunch of free printables that they have on their website. Um, they have. Different differentiation collections. It goes pre-K through sixth grade and they have a bunch of different options for you. So they have like questions, they have little stories with que um, with uh, comprehension questions on the end.
They have like basic fractions. I should probably review those 'cause I'm so bad at math. But, uh, I probably could use even a review. Um. Lots of like close reading passages, all of that kind of stuff. And it's free for at least the first 30 days. But it [00:24:00] also looks like you can get a lot of these resources just downloaded right off the website.
So if you are like sitting there and like, oh my gosh, I need a subplan day. This is a great resource for you and can at least set you up so that you've got something available for you so that you're not absolutely screwed when you realize that you need a full day. Um, something also that kind of blows my mind because.
Being, it's, it's kind of a notorious fact that being sick as a teacher a lot of times is more work than just going to work sick. You know? And I know that that's been the case for me a lot of times where I would be feeling really terrible, and especially before COVID, because once COVID happened, it feels like people were like, okay, maybe we need to put some systems in place.
But before COVID, it felt like you had to be like on death's doorstep. If you're going to not go to work, because you have to go through and you have to plan what you're gonna do, and you have to explain what you're gonna do with every single class. Right. And as a high school teacher, if you had two or three preps, that's, you know, [00:25:00] 45 to 60 minutes of planning that you have to write down for somebody, and then they're gonna have to do two to three times throughout the day.
Right. But something that blows my mind is elementary school teachers who have the same group of students for seven hours, six to seven hours without a break or with minor breaks because maybe they have like a specials class or maybe they have to go outside for PE or whatever, like. Honestly and truly, how do you write lesson plans or sub plans for elementary classes that last all day?
And that's just a genuine curiosity on my part because I've only ever taught high school and college. And so I'm sitting there and I've been working on my book and I'm trying to make sure, because th and this is something I'm really trying to be cognizant of because I only have experience in the high school classroom, and so I'm.
Working with a lot of like elementary school teachers and stuff to make sure that I'm not missing pieces of the experience of being an elementary school [00:26:00] teacher while I'm working on my book because hello. Like I've never actually done that. And it's a very different kind of rhythm if you're doing elementary teaching.
And I wanna make sure my book is helpful for everyone regardless of what grade you're gonna be teaching. Um. But one of the things that I've been really working on and thinking about is like, okay, if you're doing elementary and you're having a sub day, so much of what you do throughout the day is building on the previous day.
And that's the, you know, a lot of times that's the same for all these, especially math teachers, science teachers, all of that kind of stuff. So it's really hard to like create activities. Months in advance, which is, you know, a best practice is like, oh, I'm gonna be sick. I have this sub plan ready for if, you know, my car breaks down or I get deathly ill or whatever, and I could just plug that in.
But for elementary, I. I really wanna know what elementary teachers are doing, especially if you have your sub plans created in advance. Like what resources are you using? Because like I'm looking at this website here on the Scholastic website and all of this stuff [00:27:00] looks good from my very naive perspective of I help my.
Kindergartner with her homework. Like I, it is amazing how specialized it is between teaching younger grades and teaching secondary, and this is something also I've been thinking about a lot with, because in the state of Indiana, they've recently done this huge shift. For elementary and K through 12 licensed teachers where you have to know the science of reading and you have to have passed like the certification course because basically for a long time people were not using phonics and that's a, an oversimplification, but they kind of started doing a co, a couple queuing methods for learning to read and all of that, and we've, we've since found that the way it was working wasn't very effective.
And so now they're doing what they're calling the science of reading. And I just found out like two weeks ago that secondary teachers will also have to have an element of knowledge about the science of reading. In their [00:28:00] prep courses. So I'm now going to have to teach stuff about the science of reading to my secondary teachers, like future secondary teachers.
Um, and so I've been thinking a lot about that because I, I have never taught someone how to read, you know, I and I, my daughter last year when she was first in kindergarten and she was struggling so much, and I'm like, hi. This is such a different skillset, and I met with the teacher and she was talking about the different terms and you know, the long vowel sounds and the short vowel sounds and all that.
And that all sounds like somewhat simple, but when you're sitting there and you're like, okay, how do you do this? Like T it's such a different skillset working with that as opposed to working with, okay guys, we're gonna read this passage and then we're gonna try and go back and highlight. Imagery or whatever, like it's just completely different skillset.
So for my elementary teachers, I would love for you to put in the comments or in a message to me, tell me how do you guys do your sub plans? Like how, like [00:29:00] how far in advance do you do them? Do you have anything that's like pre-created? And how do you go through that process? Because I think that would be really helpful for other people as well to know like, Hey.
This is what I do. This is kind of like, maybe it's something that's like not going to further your students from where they were the day before, and you just accept that like that day they're gonna be doing something else, right? Which is something I would do as a secondary teacher and be like, oh yeah, it's a catchup day.
Like tell class A, they need to get done X, Y, and Z. And if they're done with that, then they can work on stuff for other classes, you know? And sometimes that's the case, but that would be terrifying in a class of six year olds to be like, okay guys, you're just gonna work on stuff. Like absolutely not. That sounds so scary to me.
So, um, yeah, let me know. I would absolutely love to hear from you guys on how you handle that situation because I have such profound respect for elementary school teachers that is. A wild job in my, uh, perspective. Um, and if you have other thoughts or thoughts on that that you [00:30:00] wanna share with me, you can contact us, andrea@humancontent.com, or at Educator Andrea on TikTok and Instagram.
