From bathroom duty, hallway duty, and bus duty to tracking who vaped, who signed in, and whose parents forgot pick-up again, the crew unpacks all the wild responsibilities teachers are handed with zero warning. And of course, they sprinkle in the comedy, the storytelling, and the unfiltered truth that keeps this community feeling seen and understood.

The trio also dives deep into the comedy tour life — the cities they keep mispronouncing, the teacher homies who pregame a little too hard, the earring mishap mid-set, and how performing on stage has pushed them outside their comfort zones. They talk about confidence, introverted moments, the intensity of outdoor shows, and the supportive admins who make both teaching and touring possible. The conversation moves from chaotic classrooms to chaotic comedy clubs, reminding everyone why teacher humor is unmatched.

Along the way, they break down the impossible tasks teachers are asked to do, from disciplining kids during planning periods to handling medical issues, potty accidents, curriculum changes, and parent phone calls long after contract hours end. Whether you teach kindergarten or high school, ride a bus or run a classroom, this episode will have you laughing, nodding, and saying, "No other job expects this from us."

In this episode, Leslie, Bri, and Miss L break down the strategies that actually work when your students are loud, chaotic, unpredictable, and endlessly loveable. From resetting expectations to building routines that stick, they share real examples from their own classrooms — including PTO systems, class economies, workplace models, and the small changes that make a big difference.

The conversation gets honest about the challenges teachers are facing right now: inconsistency, shifting behaviors, emotional exhaustion, and how hard it is to teach when your tried-and-true methods suddenly stop working. They unpack what it means to remove emotion, stay consistent, and set clear boundaries, all while laugh-crying through stories about messy desks, hallway chaos, and one truly iconic water-spill wardrobe change.

Whether you teach kindergarten or high school, this episode gives you practical tools, new ideas, and the reassurance that you are not the only one feeling the shift this year. Drop your best classroom management strategies in the comments.

This week Bri, Anna, and Jessica dive into one of the hardest parts of the profession, TEACHER BURNOUT. From the nonstop chaos of the school day to the whirlwind of the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour, they unpack what burnout really feels like when you're teaching all day and still carrying the job home in your head and heart.

They share personal stories about student behavior, wild sub situations, safety scares, grading marathons, and the invisible mental load teachers carry while trying to stay "on" for their kids. The conversation highlights how teachers are expected to be entertainers, counselors, and classroom managers while running on empty and still worrying about their students' lives outside of school.

The crew also reflects on school safety, teacher pay, and the emotional toll of always being on high alert, especially in a world where teachers are too often dismissed when they speak up. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or unseen as an educator, this episode will make you feel understood, remind you you're not alone, and give you a chance to laugh through the chaos with people who truly get it.

This week's conversation goes completely off the rails in the best way possible, from students roasting each other's pets to vape-pen busts in the bathroom to a teacher who literally copied Jessica's outfits, haircut, and even got a matching tattoo.

The crew also talks about teachers who mysteriously stop showing up to work but still post beach selfies, kids staging full-on classroom strikes, Chromebooks being set on fire because of TikTok trends, and students falling backward in their desks just for entertainment. We also get into teacher pranks, undercover spirit weeks, coworker chaos, and all the behind-the-scenes moments that remind us why education is never boring.

If you're a teacher or just love teacher humor, this episode is pure gold from start to finish.

This week on Teachers Off Duty, Bri, Anna, and our newest co-host Jessica dive into a hilarious, chaotic, and shockingly relatable conversation about Teaching THEN vs. Teaching NOW — and let's just say… things have changed A LOT.

From victory parades, doghouse punishments, and Catholic school trauma to scripted curriculum, red-pen drama, tech overload, middle school chaos, and why today's grading systems make ZERO sense… this episode is nonstop stories, teacher truths, and belly laughs.

Plus, we're talking about everything from classroom management hacks and the power of productive struggle (instead of helicopter teaching) to how and when sarcasm actually works with kids, why admin support can completely make or break your school year, and how today's grading systems have changed the game. We also get into tech overload in the classroom, what it's really like teaching middle school chaos, the pressure on ELA teachers to be "perfect" spellers, and why kids today have zero fear of calling you by your first name.
