This week, Bri, Anna, and Jay dive into the growing discipline crisis in schools and how it’s driving educators to the edge.

The episode kicks off with some nostalgic laughs about screen names and the origin of Bri’s iconic handle, “Honest Teacher Vibes.” From there, the conversation flows into personal quirks, classroom learning styles, and even a Vegemite sidebar that somehow perfectly sets the tone for this unpredictable, bestie-powered show.

But the heart of the episode zeroes in on a serious and frustrating issue - student behavior with no consequences. The hosts share stories from their own classrooms, express concern over inconsistent discipline policies, and vent about how a lack of support can push teachers out of the profession. They touch on PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports), cell phone policies like Yondr pouches, and the disconnect between administrators, parents, and teachers when it comes to accountability.

Throughout, the trio stress the importance of mutual respect—among teachers, administrators, and parents—as the true key to school culture. They highlight how data-driven discipline policies, consistent leadership, and empathetic communication can help schools thrive.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a TOD episode without detours into chaos, creativity, and comedy—whether it's silent lunch punishments, or the infamous “shut up talking to me” student comeback that had everyone howling.
