In this episode of Teachers Off Duty, Bri, Leslie and Shelby swap the most unhinged, hilarious, and brutally honest things their students have ever said that made them stop and think, "Did that really just come out of your mouth?" From elementary oversharing and third grade math confusion to middle and high school sass, the crew breaks down how kids talk at different ages, why common sense is not always common, and how gentle parenting, learned helplessness, and a lack of life skills show up in the classroom. They also dive into state testing pressure, reality baby projects, and the emotional whiplash of being the adult in the room while trying not to laugh.

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.   Listen now & don't forget to subscribe!    Follow your hosts:  Briana Richardson @HonestTeacherVibes  Anna Kowal @ReadAwayWithMissK  Jessica Hawk @MyTeacherFace Follow us on all platforms @TeachersOffDutyPodcast _________________________________ Teachers Off Duty - A Bored Teachers©️ Podcast To advertise on the show, contact [email protected] or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/TeachersOffDuty

From mispronouncing cities on the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour to matching outfits and Friday-energy tangents, the episode kicks off with pure unfiltered teacher humor. They unpack everything from confusing new math that makes everyone feel lost to latchkey-kid culture, kindergarten chaos, parent–teacher conference awkwardness, and why teacher kids are held to a whole different standard. Between cartwheeling classroom entrances, glue-covered desks, and parents who treat school like customer service, the trio keeps it honest and relatable. The conversation also hits on homework expectations, attention spans, and how teachers are now expected to be part educator, part entertainer, and part therapist. Grab your tickets to the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour and drop your funniest or wildest parent moments in the comments—we absolutely want the tea.

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.
