We’re navigating social media’s impact in the classroom! Get ready to crack up with the latest episode of "Crying In My Car," the podcast where we find humor in the halls of academia! I'm your host Devin Siebold, joined by the comedic genius James Yon. This week, we're diving into the quirky world of teacher life, and let me tell you, it's a riot! We're kicking things off with a look at the wild world of social media filters. Ever wonder what happens when these digital disguises meet the impressionable minds of today's youth? We're talking TikTok trends turned disorders, the transformative magic of makeup, and the fine line between online fantasy and harsh reality. But don't worry, it's not all face swaps and doomscrolling. We're also sharing heartwarming stories of teachers who go above and beyond. Like the one who hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for disadvantaged students – talk about a feast of kindness! And because we know family life is just as chaotic as the classroom, we’re diving into the hilarious confusions that come with having a truckload of siblings. To top it off, we're counting down the top 10 signs it's time for your adult child to leave the nest. Hint: If they're asking for a bedtime story, it might be time.  So join us for a side-splitting exploration of teacher life and the curious effects of social media filters. Tune into Crying In My Car for the best in teacher comedy – it's the laugh track you didn't know you needed!

Teachers know exactly what annoying buttons to push!   Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they redefine the stereotypical teacher, are they really a tweed-jacket-wearing bookworm, or are they much more? What’s the worst way to spend your morning? The answer is usually having to attend a staff meeting with admin. Finally, don't miss the top best ways to irritate any teacher in 3 seconds!     We all know that sometimes students can get on a teacher's nerves, but what if we told you the people who irritate teachers the easiest are actually other teachers! From bragging about test scores to back-handed compliments, us teachers can really get on eachothers nerves, and we're going to talk about the worse ones!   This week, we’re going to debunk the stereotypes of teachers and dive into what really happens when the bell rings. Some people call teachers lazy and tired, but let us give you a peek behind the curtain and show off that it's simply not true (because we're not lazy at least).    Someone give us a Nobel Prize! We found the cure to insomnia… Our morning staff meetings! There is nothing worse than trying to stay awake in a never ending admin meeting, it truly bores us to tears. These meetings seem to drag on for so long, almost as long as grading papers.   So prepare your game face for the staff meeting, grab your venti iced brown sugar shaken espresso (because you're going to need it) and tune in to this week’s episode of Crying in my Car, a podcast for teachers!  _________________________________________________________ Crying In My Car Podcast: Presented By Bored Teachers  

These Teachers are Really Testing my Patience…

Beware of your next PE hockey game turning into a pool noodle fiasco…   Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they mentally prepare themselves for the pool noodle war to end all pool noodle wars! Do they have what it takes? Maybe back in 2019. Now, it's anyone’s win.    Can you imagine running into your student in the wild? Our hosts some of the most embarrassing moments of running into “schoolies” - who knew they existed outside those glitter board walls?    We discuss the latest snack-time controversy that's driving students bananas - literally! Can fruit improve focus in students, or is it just a slippery move by administration?    One teacher decided to put a fun spin on the classic game of hockey, by arming his students with pool noodles. This is amazing in theory, but bit him in the butt when one student got his glasses shattered on the gym floor. Either way we think it would be fun to start our own pool noodle hockey league, who will emerge victorious? Tune in to find out!   So strap on your knee pads (or knee brace), keep your pool noodle close, and tune in to this week’s episode of Crying in my Car, a podcast for teachers!  _________________________________________________________ Crying In My Car Podcast: Presented By Bored Teachers  

Retire!? Just take a nap…

Zero gravity classrooms are the new frontier of teaching…   Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they unravel the controversy of teachers hitting the recording studio. Can educators drop bars without dropping standards? With Elon Musk and Spaceforce, teaching in space is just around the corner, so how will zero gravity affect how we teach? Finally Canada is amazing, and our hosts discuss their trip to the great white north.    Some educators have decided to trade lesson plans for lyric sheets, even to the point of putting their students into their music videos! Are these jams purely educational, or are these teachers just looking for background singers? We're going to have a freestyle debate that'll have you nodding your head to the rhythm of education reform.   On top of that, our hosts float a thought-provoking question past us – could zero gravity be the classroom of tomorrow? Would kids be able to stay in their seats? Could you imagine how fun recess would be? And would snack time lead to a crumb covered fiasco? Either way we think living out our childhood dream of being an astronaut would be worth all the messes we’d have to clean up.   We also take a trip up north where we discuss all our favorite things about our neighbors up north - Canada. From poutine to hockey we all know the classic things Canada is famous for, but why is nobody talking about this exchange rate? With it Americans get essentially a 30% discount on anything in Canada, so we were spending money like Rockefeller!   So grab your poutine and tell Houston to cut down on the chatter so you can listen to this week’s episode of Crying in my Car, a podcast for teachers!    _________________________________________________________ Crying In My Car Podcast: Presented By Bored Teachers  

Tipping Our Cap to America’s Hat

They told Jesus no sandals allowed at prom…   Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon where they take a walk down memory lane and discuss prom – a night of glitz, glamor, and... crippling expenses? From the corsage to the limo, there are so many hidden costs in prom, and they're breaking down some of the craziest ones. They also couldn't help but notice that the dress code for prom is so ridiculous, that even the parents would be dress-coded.    Prom could cost these students a small fortune, you wouldn't believe how high these price tags get! We don't know about you guys, but if our promposal cost as much as a 1999 Toyota Corolla, they would just get a Happy Meal and a ride in our brand new 1999 Toyota Corolla.   By the way - tux rentals, can we get a 2 nights for 1 deal!? We can’t afford to do BOTH prom and graduation with these numbers. Don’t get us started with the ridiculous dress code guidelines. Are students really being celebrated, or are they actually being suppressed by these out-of-date traditions?   So put on your corsage, check your coat at the door, don’t you dare bring your flask and tune in to this week’s episode of Crying in my Car, a podcast for teachers!  _________________________________________________________ Crying In My Car Podcast: Presented By Bored Teachers
