Is it almost time for student teachers to finally get paid for their work? Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a Podcast for Teachers! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon dive into a new bill that could drastically renew the interest in the teaching profession. They also ask the question, are teachers really that bad as audience members? Finally they are going to be sharing the funniest ways that students have completely outed their parents in the classroom.

First, we talk about the newest bill in California that could finally pay student teachers for their hard work. We all know how it was to struggle through unpaid student teaching, and hopefully this could possibly attract and or keep more teachers in the profession. Tune in to hear our take! Teachers may be pros in the classroom, but according to Devin, they can be absolute chaos as an audience. At conferences and comedy shows, they’re notorious for breaking the very rules they enforce with their students. From standing up mid-presentation to scrolling on their phones, it's a complete madhouse, hear us theorize why teachers make such bad audience members.

Finally, we wrap things up with pure comedy gold: the funniest, and most brutally honest, things kids have told teachers about their parents. From mom’s “special drink” to dad’s two-minute “date nights”, these anecdotes remind us why teaching is never boring.

So one two three, eyes on me, let's try to pay attention to us on this week's episode of Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers.

Can you believe the lies some people tell just to land a job?

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon kick off this episode with Devin’s wild story of surviving a five-hour Metallica concert that nearly took him out. From there, things only get crazier as they dive into a shocking case of a teacher who absolutely lied through her teeth to get her job. Finally they're going to be sharing some of the most hilarious awards given to students. 

First, Devin shares the Metallica concert experience of a lifetime, complete with mosh pits, celebrity sightings, and most importantly, the brutal reminder that turning 40 comes with limits. All that being said, it was all worth it for a life changing experience that you absolutely can’t miss. 

One teacher in Massachusetts has taken the phrase “fake it till you make it.” to a whole new level. This teacher’s lies included a fake PhD, fake Marine Corps background, and just about everything about her resume! Tune in to see exactly how her web of lies finally caught up with her. 

Finally a simple classroom prank was blown completely out of proportion. One teacher gave a 7th grader a “creative” reward, and let's just say the parents didn’t find it as funny as the rest of the class thought it was. Tune in to find out just how bad this joke really was!

Crying In My Car Podcast with Devin Siebold & James Yon

 What happens when veteran teachers refuse a buyout? And why are wealthy kids less glued to screens than their peers?

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, the podcast for teachers! This week Devin Siebold and James Yon discover the secret to teacher burn out. Then they address the growing push to force older teachers into early retirement, even when they don’t want to leave. They also uncover an eye-opening trend about cell phone use among students and what it really says about parenting across income levels.

First, Devin shares why teacher conventions might be the one thing that can reignite a burned-out educator’s passion. From hands-on tech demos to powerful keynote speakers, these gatherings are more than just a break from the classroom, they’re a chance to recharge and reconnect with the profession.

Things take a dark turn where, in Maine, some schools are offering early retirement buyouts which seem optional, but if teachers don't take the deal, they simply cut these long-time educators. Is this cost-saving strategy destroying the very experience schools need most? Tune in to hear our take on this injustice. 

Finally, we head back into the wild world of Reddit, and read jaw-dropping stories about parents who apparently think homework is optional, teachers being threatened, and why rich kids seem to use their phones less than everyone else. You won’t believe the crazy stories were finding this week!

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon are revealing a huge bomb shell, did you know that our world map can’t be trusted!? They also sifted through the absolute goldmine for academic anecdotes, Reddit; and lets just say, you would never believe the stories they uncovered there. Finally, are we robbing kids of the academic adventure of their lives by not taking them to museums anymore?  

First we unravel the biggest cartographical conspiracy of our generation. We all know the world map because we all passed first grade geography, but are these maps to be trusted? Apparently not! Tune in to find out exactly how we’ve all been lied to for all these years! 

Then our hosts searched the deep parts of reddit, where we found a story of a student who has missed a whopping 140 days of school, but surprisingly still might pass. Well for once, the admin is backing the teacher in holding back this irresponsible student. We hope that this will start a trend of schools finally holding people accountable for their actions. 

Finally we all remember the indescribable joy of going on a field trip to a museum as a kid. This is what spanked Devin’s love for history and eventually led to him being a teacher. All this being said however, with the rise in technology, we feel schools are neglecting giving these kids these valuable educational experiences. Is this good, or are we robbing them of a life changing academic adventure, tune in to hear our take.

How many grams of protein are in… what now?

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon are joined by special guest content creator Lo Swo, and are going to be focusing on the parents. While normally a parent being involved in their kids' education is fantastic, sometimes it can turn into a real hindrance to us teachers. Speaking of students, our special guest has brought her own personal list of the funniest things she's heard in the classroom that you would never believe.

Some parents just need to chill out. We have seen it all, parents asking for a month’s worth of lectures on a USB, or treating the education system like a Netflix subscription, every classroom has at least one overbearing parent. But don’t worry, you're not alone, we have both the best tips and tricks for dealing with these parents, and some of the most ridiculous stories on this week's episode!

Now our guest Lo Swo has been keeping a comprehensive list of her student’s weirdest statements, and has been kind enough to share it with us this week. From asking how many grams of protein are in interesting items, to a lot of discussions about smelling hands, you wouldn't believe the kinds of things these kids talk about!

What if we told you Universal’s Epic Universe is the most educational field trip a teacher could plan—and we (almost) prove it?

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon are joined by special guest content creator Lo, and they make a compelling case for turning Universal’s Epic Universe into your next educational school field trip. Physics? Stardust racers have you covered. Bloodborne pathogens? Absolutely done with Monsters Unchained. Communism and child labor? Oddly enough, yes but tune in to find out by which attraction.

So how is Florida’s newest theme park doing? We got to go and we have a lot of personal opinions, from tall-guy ride struggles to the real reason Dracula's allergic to garlic, whether you've gone or are still waiting to grab your tickets, you don't want to miss this insight to this truly epic park.

Now we have more going for us than just theme park excitement, for example we have some thoughts about the French president and his wife who is a teacher. We don’t want to give away too much, but let's just say their relationship is interesting to say the least.

Should we start fining parents for students’ bad behavior?

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon are back to talk about. Finally unpack some jaw-dropping stories from the world of education — and of course, add a few laughs along the way.

First up, Devin shares a chilling story about students' increasing use of anonymous Crime Line tips to report weapons and threats on campus. Are our schools becoming less safe, or are kids just speaking up more? It’s a conversation you don’t want to miss. Then we’re off to Delaware, where apparently you don’t even need a teaching license to lead a classroom anymore?! Over 400 teachers were found to have expired or nonexistent licenses, including a state lawmaker who teaches and serves on the education committee. You can’t make this stuff up.

And finally, imagine a world where teachers could fine parents every time a kid acts up. Would it fix behavior problems, or start a brand new kind of drama? They also come up with some of the most hilarious fineable school infractions, you don't want to miss this!

What happens when students are more addicted to cell phones than to learning?

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Our hosts, Devin Siebold and James Yon, are back with some controversial opinions. From society's crippling phone addiction to the way the deep state is holding back education, you wouldn't believe the kind of hoops educators need to go through these days to create a lesson plan. 

First up, Devin breaks down the heated debate around the Department of Education. Should it stay? Should it go? Is there a better way to truly support our schools? Get ready for some honest and surprisingly insightful conversation.

Then, we're going to take a hard look at America’s real addiction problem… Cell phones. Now we all like playing on our phones, but for students, it's becoming a lot more serious than you think, and Devin makes the case that we need to start treating it just like any other addiction.

And finally, why fighting for better education might require a little... conspiracy theory marketing? Devin argues that if we started treating education issues as conspiracy theories, they might be able to reach the public. We would imagine saying “the deep state doesn’t want you to fund libraries” has quite the ring to it. Honestly, it might just work.

Will our students remember us when they become famous? 

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon are going to be sharing all the details of Devin’s recent trip to the UK. It also feels so great to be recognized, so this week we were reveling in both students recognizing their former teachers, and teachers recognizing their former students. 

First up Devin recently got back from the UK and oh boy does he have some stories. He was so surprised by how much healthier most of the food is over there, however we couldn't help but miss our classic American junk food. You also wouldn't believe how a simple fashion choice affected his visit. Tune in to hear the whole story. 

In the news recently, Timothee Chalamet was honored at the Oscars by his former high school teacher, and with this we wonder if one of our students would go on to be honored like this. You never know so you should get your speech ready for when our students eventually become famous and of course thank us for being the reason they succeeded.

Speaking of recognizing our students, let's talk about the other way around. Devin this week got an email from one of his former students after 9 years. These kinds of moments are the reason why we teach in the first place, so go ahead and share this beautiful moment with us.

Apparently this teacher is taking a break from the blackboard, and going for a blitz… 

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon are going to be sharing the tale of a star rugby teacher that also just so happens to be a teacher. Do you think more classrooms are better for education, or do you think it's more about quality over quantity? Finally we are going to be sharing some of our favorite teacher Reddit stories. 

What do teachers do when they clock out? While some teachers crochet or play video games, we're going to be talking about an educator who is also an outstanding rugby player. While other teachers are tackling their lesson plans, they’re tackling the scrum-half (if you know you know).

Next we tackle a common issue in Florida schools, the dreaded portable classroom. Granted, they're an easy and cheap way to expand the classroom, but is cutting corners affecting a student's learning? Tune in to hear our take!

Finally we turned to Reddit for the wildest parent stories you've ever heard. You would not believe some of these things these teachers have gone through! From parents blaming teachers for their children's grades to a split family compromising their kid’s education, you definitely don't want to miss this!
