Episode 45: Break the Rules - Rethinking School Expectations
Podcast: The Principal Exchange PodcastPublished On: Sun Jun 28 2026
Description: We're on vacation, so we're sharing one of our most downloaded episodes. School rules are everywhere. But most people can't even recite them. So what are they actually for? In this episode, Sarah and Andra challenge traditional school rules entirely. They're not calling for chaos—they're calling for a reframe. Instead of rules that beg to be broken, what if we built cultures grounded in values that actually stick? Think about it: we don't avoid murder because of a law. We avoid it because we value human life. But we drive 67 in a 60 mph zone because rules are meant to be pushed. This conversation will make you rethink discipline, culture-building, and what it means to teach kids to make good choices because they understand why. See you back live in a couple weeks!
