Every teacher needs someone that they can go to every day to keep you from quitting or getting fired... That someone is almost always a teacher bestie!

In this episode, we talk about what students think teachers do versus what teachers actually do over spring break!

Listen and laugh to our funniest but maybe not our proudest moments of our teaching careers! #noshame

Mr. Williams takes the lead on this episode in a very necessary discussion around various bills that are being proposed in states like Indiana, Florida, and Utah. Listen in as we talk about why these bills are unbelievably ridiculous and illogical for teachers and students.

In contrast to our typical episodes of teacher stories and classroom experiences, today we listen to the students and talk about what they're going through during these times. None of us have been students during a global pandemic and we recognize the need to give our students grace and try to understand what they're going through too.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day! Tune in to hear some funny stories from the classroom, lessons learned, and hear the full story of how Mrs. Woolley fell in love with her future husband in a gas station... Only on the Teachers Off Duty podcast!

The uncertainty, the unreasonable expectations, the increased workload for no extra pay, the lack of support, the number of absentees, and the overflow of ignorance from parents and admin, we did not sign up for this.

From our student-teaching years, student-teachers we've had in our classrooms, and stories from our listeners, we talk about the good, the bad, and the WTF moments!

Sprained wrists, flying desks, concussions, bites, body slams, and bleeding skulls. Listen to the stories of violent students attacking teachers and a how couple of us were once victims, too.

Join the conversation to find out which teacher from TV/movies that each of the hosts identifies with and which TV teachers are the furthest from reality! Plus, listen to a few crazy field trip stories.
