There's absolutely nothing wrong with being a bit quirky, but some teachers really like to push those limits. Our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Bri Richardson, and Anna Kowal know that better than anyone, and they're going to be sharing the worst things their fellow teachers do that drive the rest of the school crazy.

We all know that teachers are a unique breed, and sometimes their quirks can make things a bit… interesting. For example Bri shares a hilarious tale about a teacher who always insists on wearing a different themed outfit for each day of the week. While some may roll their eyes, tune in to find out Bri’s optimistic point of view on this situation.

But it's not all quirks and icks, our hosts also discuss the delightful surprises their fellow teachers bring to the table. Whether it's homemade goodies at staff meetings or a sweet thank-you note, these teachers know how to dish out kindness and create a positive school culture.

In this episode, we’re diving into the everyday tasks that make us question our sanity. From writing objectives on the board that no one reads, to responding to parent emails asking for information they already have, to the never-ending battle with jammed copy machines—we’re saying what every teacher is thinking. Join hosts Jess Smith , Leslie Robb and Jared Lamb as they vent, laugh, and keep it real about the time-sucking struggles of education. We tackle the absurdity of mandatory newsletters that parents ignore, school-wide announcements that no one understands, and the dreaded moment when you're asked to cover a class during your precious prep. And don’t even get us started on tracking student bathroom visits! Plus, we chatted about how teachers can reclaim some of their lost time, and Jared shared how he eliminated intercom announcements at his school (is he a genius or a rebel?). And of course, no Teachers Off Duty episode would be complete without some hilarious confessions—like which of us may or may not have walked away from a jammed copier without fixing it. (No judgment… okay, maybe a little.) Tune in, laugh with us, and remember: you’re not alone in the struggle!

From more recess and PTO to ditching outdated dress codes and creating better prep time, we're dreaming up a school built by teachers for teachers—and students too, of course! Plus, we hear your thoughts, featuring calls from our amazing listeners. They kick things off by sharing their top priorities: -More Recess and Playtime: Jonathan champions the idea of more recess, not just for the kids but for teachers too. They explore how additional playtime can improve student behavior and enhance learning by providing necessary breaks throughout the day. -Flexible PTO and Better Work-Life Balance: Leslie brings up the need for a realistic PTO system that acknowledges teachers' needs for personal days without the bureaucratic hassle. They discuss how this change could positively impact teachers' mental health and overall job satisfaction. -Control Over Classroom Environment: Jess emphasizes the struggle of teaching in classrooms without proper air conditioning or heating. They all agree that something as simple as controlling the thermostat could make a significant difference in both teaching and learning experiences. The conversation then shifts to dress codes, where they tackle the often sexist and outdated policies that disproportionately affect female students. Sharing personal anecdotes, they highlight the need for dress codes that are fair, inclusive, and reflective of real-world standards. Standardized testing comes under scrutiny as well. The hosts discuss how these tests fail to accommodate different learning styles and don't accurately measure student growth or teacher effectiveness. They brainstorm alternative methods of assessment that could be more beneficial for students' long-term success. Listeners also contribute their ideas through call-ins, suggesting: -Rearranging classrooms so teachers can be next to their best friends. -Revamping the school schedule to include more play and socializing after lunch. -Eliminating biased dress codes to create a more comfortable environment for all students. This episode is packed with laughter, insightful discussions, and a shared vision of a better educational system designed with teachers' insights at the forefront. _________________________________ Grab your tickets for the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour here: https://www.boredteachers.com/comedy-tour 🇬🇧 UK Comedy Tour: We're bringing the laughs to the UK in February, hitting: -London: February 7th -Glasgow: February 9th -Birmingham: February 11th -Manchester: February 12th Get ready for a hilarious time!

This week our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Anna Kowal, and Tyler Jackowski are going to be sharing how they are getting ready for this upcoming holiday season. Now with the holidays coming up, gift giving is such a hard tradition to navigate, and it's even worse in the classroom. Do we get gifts from students? How much should we spend?

Don’t worry, we're going to be sharing our tips and tricks to navigate this tricky situation. Now of course it's not all about gift-giving anxiety, we're also currently getting ready for our holiday parties. Of course we don't want to leave anyone out, so see how we set up the perfect holiday party that is inclusive to all of our students’ and fellow teachers' cultures.
