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.

In this hilarious and unfiltered episode of Teachers Off Duty, the LADIES dive deep into how teachers are portrayed on TV—and how far from reality those depictions really are. From Miss Frizzle and Mr. Feeny to Abbott Elementary and Breaking Bad, no character is off limits. We’re talking unrealistic outfits, mysterious teacher lounges, magical classroom behavior, and how no one ever seems to be grading papers or making copies.

Plus, the crew shares their favorite (and least favorite) fictional teachers, reveals what it’s really like behind the scenes in schools across the country, and compares their everyday chaos to what Hollywood thinks education looks like. Spoiler alert: there are no vampires in our classrooms (yet).

If you've ever yelled “Where are the teachers?!” during your favorite teen drama, this episode is for you. Grab your purple pens and join us as we spill the truth—teacher style.

In this hilarious and heartfelt episode of Teachers Off Duty, hosts Bri, Anna and Lauren dive deep into the chaos, comedy, and classroom realities of teaching at opposite ends of the age spectrum — kindergarten and middle school.

From soggy French fries in backpacks to drama-fueled middle school breakups, this episode offers an unfiltered look at the wild things kids say and do, no matter their age. The teachers compare notes on everything from hygiene horror stories and awkward parent-teacher conferences to fire drills gone wrong and the stress of standardized testing (including a literal chicken nugget fire that set off alarms during state exams).

They also explore the stark contrast between innocent kindergartners who still believe their teachers sleep at school and hormonal middle schoolers who vape, gossip, and push every boundary. Despite the differences, one truth rings loud and clear: kids of all ages are unpredictable, hilarious, and in desperate need of patient, passionate educators.

Bonus laughs come with discussions about students’ strange behavior, TMI stories, and the shared trauma of teacher duty—especially during car rider lines and state testing. They wrap with a hilarious game idea: Was it Kindergarten or Middle School? (Spoiler: it could be both.)

Teachers, parents, and anyone who needs a good laugh about the reality of the classroom.

From being physically and emotionally overstimulated to getting roasted by their own students (“lemon pepper steppers,” anyone?), the teacher trio shares what it really feels like to crawl toward summer break. They spill on classroom observations, field day injuries, kindergarten finger paintings, and the surprisingly emotional goodbye that happens every single year.

Plus, we talk about the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour, our favorite spirit week moments, and what it's like when your own kid attends your school. Whether you’re a fellow educator, a parent, or just nosy about the behind-the-scenes madness of the classroom, this episode is for you. Tune in and commiserate, celebrate, and laugh your way to the end of the school year with us!

Classroom chaos hits a whole new level in this hilarious episode of Teachers Off Duty! Leslie Rob, Jess Smith, and Brian Moote swap jaw-dropping stories about the most unexpected things their students have brought to school—from live toads and portable Keurigs to Capri Sun-style vodka pouches and, yes... furry handcuffs disguised as gifts.

They also dive into tattoo street cred, awkward YouTube ads, school tour shenanigans, and what happens when a Great Dane nearly becomes a class pet. Plus, hear how one kid turned his desk into a secret frog habitat for four days.

From navigating awkward student gifts (looking at you, lingerie roses) to the all-too-relatable fear of accidentally projecting your camera roll during class, the crew keeps it real about the highs, lows, and absolute absurdities of teaching today. If you’ve ever wondered how a teacher survives a day with dignity intact after finding out their student has 20 snakes at home—or what happens when a middle schooler brings mini booze pouches to lunch—this one’s for you.

Whether you’re a teacher, parent, or just here for the laugh-cry moments, this episode proves once again: there’s no such thing as a normal day in education.
