I’ve seen this in RL. Often the person who feels most uncertain about being able to handle the job, is really the best person for it. I think that it may be a form of perfectionism: I’m not perfect = I’m not good enough. To such people the idea of “nobody’s perfect” doesn’t get considered as regards themselves.
She’s good. She’s maintaining order and running the class by making it fun, not through power, not “I’m the boss so DO IT!!!!!!!!” At that age, that’s the way to go.
I hope she does real well.
She’s doing real well already. Half-orc is a great thing to be when you’re a kindergarten teacher.
ObJustification: Mother taught 1st grade for 30 years.
Did a few months go by between yesterday’s strip and today’s?

I think the name they came up for that feeling is imposter syndrome? Anyway yes very much this. Good job in your explanation 🙂
That feeling pushes them to try harder.
Oh my goodness. I think she’s the teacher my kid needs next year!
Yeeessss, I came to ‘Tip My Hat’ in the general direction of those who Teach;
Hail, Hail, those who Instruct!
Oh, hell yeah. Like I said, being half-orc would be perfect for Kindergarten.
I wanna be Orc Squished…
XD me too
Oh man, I like tusks. I want an ork squish.
Squish me baby, I’m up to the task…
Aww. She’s adorable.
Wait, what happened to the previous teacher? Is this another missing person?
Where do we sign up for Orc Squishes?
I don’t want any Orc squish. That would be worse than an Euryale hug.
☝️THIS !
Definitely NOT recommended for anyone without incredibly strong bones!
I LIKE her…
I can see Ms. Phillips as the next vacation island pinup… <..>
Mmmmm, orc squishes..
…. Kinda already did it… XD..
Ummm is it bad that I really want a female orc squish?

What kind of para is the kid in the bottom right corner of panel 2? Looks aquatic.
Maybe that’s the tadpole form of mere-folk.
For being an Orcess, she’s REALLY appealing! (those tusks are kinda cute)
Half-orc. It makes a big difference.
LOCTAR! OGAR!
BUR!
Don’t mention peanuts in the classroom! What if one of the kids has an allergy?
