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.

This week's conversation goes completely off the rails in the best way possible, from students roasting each other's pets to vape-pen busts in the bathroom to a teacher who literally copied Jessica's outfits, haircut, and even got a matching tattoo.  The crew also talks about teachers who mysteriously stop showing up to work but still post beach selfies, kids staging full-on classroom strikes, Chromebooks being set on fire because of TikTok trends, and students falling backward in their desks just for entertainment. We also get into teacher pranks, undercover spirit weeks, coworker chaos, and all the behind-the-scenes moments that remind us why education is never boring.  If you're a teacher or just love teacher humor, this episode is pure gold from start to finish.

They even unpack fake dating profiles, teacher crushes, and the dreaded "teacher voice" moment that shows up off the clock. If you've ever tried to balance lesson plans and love life, this one's for you. Grab your coffee, your grading pile, and tune in for the teacher talk that gets a little too real and funny.
