Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they celebrate their new favorite unofficial teacher holiday, lamination day. They will also come to terms with a hard truth, they're getting older, but is that really a bad thing? Finally they reveal the hidden battle that is happening right under our noses, in our school libraries.
We all know how important our laminations are, from posters to dry-erase works sheets, us teachers can't get enough of them. But what do we do when the librarian has a choke hold on the lamination machine? Well that's where lamination day comes into play. It's truly the newest unofficial teachers holiday; and what happens when Devin commits sacrilege by bringing something to be laminated after this day? Tune in to find out!
Let's face the facts, we're getting old… There is nothing that induces a midlife crisis like seeing your previous students with lines under their eyes and receding hairlines. When you last saw them they were struggling with long division, now they’re struggling with taxes. But you know what they say, with age comes wisdom, so we're going to share our wisdom on how we’re navigating these changes.
Did you guys know about the cultural battle that's going on in our libraries? Well apparently there is legislation putting huge restrictions on what kind of books are deemed appropriate to be on their shelves, with the librarians being its first line of defense. So not only do they need to know the dewey decimal system and how to laminate, but now they have to screen every book in their collection!

When James said “I’m not made for jail I am too cute”, I felt that. Me too, man! James is absolutely adorable!❤😂
31:53 my schools had two substitute teachers who taught my dad, an English teacher and a home ec teacher. I made all of them feel old because they taught all my aunts and uncles and my dad. They always asked about them all and it was nice to talk to them about everything in my life
I have always taught lower elementary for my 16 years of teaching. (kindergarten for the past 8 years). I had my first student of a student last year. Mom was in my internship grade three class and I had her daughter in kindergarten.
It definitely made me realize that I was becoming the “veteran” teacher!
I taught in the same district 27 years before retiring in 2022. In 2015 I got the first students who were children of students I had in the mid to late 90's. When they told me I felt like Dorian Gray aging 50 years while looking at his portrait.
I just got to introduce my kids to my (now their) elementary school principal this school year. I was in 2nd grade when he took the job. I swear I could see more wrinkles form on his face as he realized!
Elementary teacher 🙋🏼♀️
Our librarians are in control of reloading the laminating film mostly because it takes skill to load it and not make a huge mess, take up time, and waste film. I’m good with that.
But we laminate our own stuff. No aides or personnel available to do that task.
Years ago when we had an aide who did that, he would eat snacks while he laminated and so cookie crumbs adorned the inside of whatever he delivered back to us. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
I went to get some lab work done at our local hospital and ran into someone I had in first and third grade . She told me she was going to retire this summer ! Then she got out her phone and proudly asked me if I would like to see pictures of her grandchildren .
YOU feel old?? Bless your cotton socks! I turn 50 in Nov and my English school (I teach English in a small town in Spain) "turned 20" in April.... And last June I said farewell to some 18 year old students who I'd been teaching since they were ONE YEAR OLD!!! Last June was rough, I cried and cried... Where is time going? And how do we slow it down?
Also, in a small town not only am I seeing them grow, now students are bringing their kids to my school AND 3 years ago I hired an ex-student to be a teacher, she is now my right hand. 🤯🤯🤯
I’m so upset, when y’all came to Shreveport I got tickets for my birthday & literally got into a wreck on the way there…so, I wasn’t able to go 😭
I’m 48 & just consider it leveling up, like a video game. My mom’s birthday was on April Fool’s Day & we’d convince her every year that she was a different age than she was. She always had to do the math. 😂
I am now about to be 42….now imagine starting the school year and find out one of your COWORKERS is someone you taught when they were only 4 yrs old! That was the moment I officially felt old! 🥺
I see students in the playground who look like their parents at that age. I naturally ask then to find I'm correct.
I'm 61. I'm about to be teaching grandchildren of former students. 😊
As a person who got taught by the same teacher my mom had for English in high school and my brother being the same age as my teachers son. It’s a weird thing to think about. I remember going through my mom’s yearbook and seeing my teacher over 30 years ago (at the time I looked at it).
42 here 😅 This year I even had a coworker who was my student in middle school. She's fresh out of college but still shocks me till this day. 👩🏾🦳
Don’t freak out about turning 40. I was 39 when I started teaching (a career change, obviously not for the money), and I retired at 66. It’s relative.
I am at a very small district, we only have a few subs. That being said, I don't like to see schools outsourcing for substitutes. Like you said, paying twice, wasting money.
