Listen to this podcast: https://bit.ly/ListenCIMC  Education enthusiasts, Devin and James, back on the mics, and we've got a treat for you! Ever feel like the supply closet in your classroom is just a sad metaphor for your bank account? Well, you're not alone. Turns out 94% of our American teaching comrades are swiping their own cards to fill those shelves. But worry not! Devin's on a mission, one fundraiser at a time, to transform that “empty shelf” frown upside-down! Speaking of fundraisers, we've got tales of teachers – from the heroic to the downright hilarious. Ever heard of a teacher championing not one, not two, but 23 different online campaigns? No? Well, buckle up! And, psst... (whisper) they made the national news! Speaking of making the news, let's talk teachers in the news as "Double the Teacher, Double the Fun!" became a Dayton Public Schools' mantra with their groundbreaking two-teacher-per-room setup. Spoiler alert: it was a hit! Until...well, the budget said, "Thank you, next!" Ah, the classic two-teacher trap.  Cheaters never prosper, especially not when they tangle with teachers. We've got a story that will make you gasp... or laugh... probably both! And, oh boy, Broward County, FL is cooking up something spicy with a vow to sprinkle some big bucks on their teachers' paychecks. But wait, there's a catch! Devin and James dive deep into the intricacies of tenure, seniority, and the influential impact of our veteran teaching stars!  While James suns himself on vacation (jealous, who? Us?), he's got a veteran parent story that's bound to tickle your funny bone. And speaking of vacations, Devin gets real about the true meaning of a teacher's "staycation." Just before we sign off, have you ever dreamt of a vacation without any kids? Yeah, we thought so. Enter: The Virgin Cruise Line, with a whopping SPF rating of 50 (Student Protection Factor, of course). Major props to Laura Poe for shining the spotlight on this absolute gem! Join us for all this and more on the "Crying In My Car" and make sure to bring your laughter, tissues, and maybe even a classroom supply list!    -- Follow Devin at http://DevinComedy.com https://tiktok.com/@devincomedy http://twitter.com/devinsiebold http://instagram.com/devinsiebold Follow James at http://JamesYon.com https://tiktok.com/@jamesyoncomedy http://instagram.com/jamesyoncomedian
