Welcome back to the Edu20/20 Podcast: After Hours where the vibes are relaxed, and the stories are unfiltered.

In this episode, Shannon Street and Courtney Dumas swap teacher-and-student prank stories.

You’ll hear:

  • The remote-control fart machine prank that had an entire class convinced Shannon was guilty
  • Courtney’s “good kid gone rogue” moment involving stolen transparencies… and an April Fools expulsion prank that nearly ended her emotionally
  • A classroom “fire” prank that turned into full-on Lord of the Flies in the woods
  • The coordinated chaos of middle school students (pencils dropping, fake fainting, mystery kitten noises)
  • The time a science “anatomy body” was used as a bathroom prank… and why Shannon immediately retired from pranking forever 😬
