Put away your Sunday scaries, it's time for Teachers Off Duty!! Join our hosts, KC Mack, The Angry Gym Teacher: Tom Filline, and HonestTeacherVibes herself: Bri Richardson. (Crowd goes wild!!)
Teaching can be loud and chaotic, just the volume in the hallway is enough to make any teacher want to scream. But the louder the teachers scream, the louder the kids will be. It's a never-ending cycle of noise.
🍎 Featured Stories:
Ring, Alexa, and a Rolex? Imagine teaching a reading group when the classroom phone rings, Alexa mistakenly orders a luxury watch…. "Thank goodness for cancellations! Teacher salaries don’t allow for this!"
Tornado Terrors: Picture this-100 kids and 5 teachers squeezed into a bathroom during a real tornado warning. "Hot, sweaty, chaotic, loud, panic inducing, awful!" Nothing could prepare a teacher for this.
Lizard Chase Mayhem: Half the class thrilled, half terrified, and a tail left wiggling on the floor. "We accidentally chopped off part of its tail and it was wiggling, which caused more chaos!" Say what!?
Milk Shootout: The day two boys discovered they could shoot milk out of their noses. Note it for the record, my guy.
Daily Overload: "I am trying to deliver a lesson, answer the phone, write a bathroom pass, get someone a pencil, check email, answer a question, solve a technology problem and hear an announcement at the SAME TIME all day every day...I am TIRED" We feel you bestie…
Here's a hack for you bestie....

My non teacher friends don't get why I haven't seen their favorite TV show or movie: when I get home I want *silence*.
THE. WATER. BOTTLES!!!!!!!!! Hitting the floor! OMG. Metal on concrete. I can't. And I need to thank you all.... For MONTHS now, my Loops have been in another purse. I keep forgetting to find them and put them in my current purse. And everytime I need them, I remember where they are. DAMMIT! But you talking about the Loops made me get up, find the Loops, and put them in my current purse. THANK YOU!!! As I get older (I'm 54 now), I become less and less able to handle the overstimulation. And I SWEAR the overstimulation is getting more and more insane with each year. Somehow, we are expected to teach, grade, enter grades, answer questions, redirect misbehavior, answer emails, hold your bladder/bowels, fill out questionnaires, NOT be on our phones, but answer texts from admin, write passes to the nurse, put your objective on the board, be prepared for an impromptu observation, fill out PLAAFs, get attendance done, and be entertaining ALL AT THE SAME TIME. And why must they yell when they are talking to each other? You are RIGHT NEXT to each other! There is no need to yell! I suffer from migraines. I get them on the regular and I have to push through them. And even though I never thought of myself as having ADHD, I'm pretty sure I do. The background noises completely derail me. And my BF doesn't get it. He doesn't understand how a NON-MORNING PERSON with migraines comes home from work and passes out for four hours almost every day. In fact, most people don't understand. I'm just holding my breath until retirement. And whatever I do after that is going to be silent. With no people. Question: How are you teaching and going on tour?? Is that only during the summer? Are you on sabbatical?
Due to weather, our kids could not play outside for MONTHS! The noise, OMG.
This episode is spot on this week. #1 I was diagnosed with moderate to severe hearing loss due to the loudness in the auditorium and events in the gym over my 32 year career.
#2 I received a nasty email from a parent complaining that something happened in the PE class. The kid told the parent that the PE teacher said to tell the homeroom teacher, me. And that I did not take care of it to his satisfaction. Meanwhile, the kid never said one thing to the PE teacher. 😒
I am going to be completely honest with you, I have been teaching for so many years and I always wondered why I was so tiered when I got home, never did I think it was because I was overstimulated. I always though that it had to do with me getting through all of my lesson plans, as well as the fact that I try to keep my class clean at all times. Now it all makes sense, over stimulation is real, I can now explain why I want to be alone after school or why I do not want to talk to anyone. 🧠🧠🤯
KC I actually interviewed a teacher new to my district and asked them what made them want to make the switch. Apparently their pervious school was a 45 minute drive away, after school they would get stuck in rush hour traffic and as you can expect, that's kind of miserable to go through all week. So when they saw an opening at my school they took it because they only live 5 minutes away. I can't even imagine over an hour a day of just driving to and from work.
Middle school math teacher here - One year I had an AP come in and do an informal observation the last 10 minutes of the day, on Halloween. Definitely felt like a “gotcha” observation.
Loops are my jam too. Every time I forget them at home I end up subbing music and the kids are given drums.
I’m not a teacher but i love your show. Wish more parents could understand what you all go through to teach our kids. Thank you Teachers for what you do.
when my twins were 3 years old, we went there. My son stood up on the seat and they threw him a roll that bounced off his head, then the wall and landed on his plate.....so memorable
You guys put a smile on my face whenever I see you post! I am still in school, but you guys have given me a special respect to educators! Best podcast ever!
Bri, I had to google where you went to college when you mentioned the tornado tearing up your school in 2008 because it sounded familiar.... I was at Freed-Hardeman at the time and I was thinking "I bet she went to Union!" I will never forget when some of the students from Union came to speak to us at Freed about the experience and how the walls were blown off the dorm buildings but there were pictures and paper push pinned to the bulletin boards in the now exposed rooms that were still there like nothing had happened.
I was a Connecticut girl who was in my freshman year of college at Freed and I had never been that close to a tornado before and I spent that whole night terrified because it was one warning after another after another.
I am so glad you made it out of that ok, so sorry to hear about the students who have lasting physical damage from that night.
I have my loops on my lanyard. I use them during the time they have to work quietly and independently without asking me questions for 15 minutes. I just point to my ears. They don’t know I can still hear them.
The tornado position protects their heads and internal organs.
14:31 Last year I had a 15 minute drive and was VERY unhappy. This year I have a 40 minute drive and am much happier. Distance doesn’t make teachers leave.
I worked at a daycare at a church and it was preK through 5th grade and it was pure chaos we were not allowed to show them movies, there were Bairly any toys. Little kids getting run over by the big kids everyone screaming. And the worst part was we were not allowed to put them in time out or anything. We had to sit there and let them do whatever they wanted. The overstimulation was crazy
President Lincoln was born in Kentucky, LOL! But definitely tour the Lincoln Museum,, Lincoln's home, and get a "horseshoe" at Darcy's in Springfield
I’ve never been so disappointed in my Bored Teacher Peeps! A Recorder is a completely different instrument from a flute!! A recorder is plastic or wood, the mouthpiece goes in your mouth, and it’s held vertically. A flute is metal, held horizontally, and you blow across the mouthpiece to get a sound!
There is an instrument similar to the recorder called a fluteophone, but it’s still more like a recorder than a flute! 49:05
Y’all need to apologize to your music teacher friends!!
On the intro, I said, KC growing his beard out... lol I love you guys 😂😂😂😂😂
In Sikeston Missouri there is a restaurant whose slogan was (or is) “ home of the throwed rolls”. We went there a few times in the 1980’s when we would visit my friend’s mother in Carbondale, Illinois . The rolls were piping hot and delicious and we had to catch them. SUCH FUN 👏🏾👏🏾!!!
Ya'll gotta go to Normal Illinois because ya'll are so "normal" *nervously laughs* especially KC Mac.
Sikeston MO is the original ‘home’ Springfield is an 2nd location. Go Bulldogs ~ my hometown ❤
This is my new favorite episode! So funny and so relatable!
I checked the schedule a few weeks ago and I did not see a Hampton Roads tour. I hear Virginia...but...? It could just be me. We have 3 weeks and my students stand firm that it is two.
Lambert’s in Springfield, MO has the thrown rolls!
Branson has the lambert rolls LOL
After teaching for 30 + years, we all are on anxiety and depression medicine. LOL "truth"
Loops switch changed my life
I knew that was SpongeBob intro 😂😂😂😂 KC needs supervision 😅
I want to let you know that the episode where KC said he used his belly button for the ranch dip for his chicken nuggets. It was KC, Bri, and Liz (the last ones name was Blanc and I am not sure if Liz is her first name. I laughed so hard that I had to stop eating and it made me cry..a good kind of cry. We need you guys because out profession is crazy right now...
that sponge is awful because it is so old that it doesn't bend anymore. We use to get a full sponge--now we get a half sponge. I think but can not swear by it, but it looks like it is in the same zip lock!!!
Always making me laugh I love y'all please don't ever give up. Y'all help me to keep on pushin
This was the best episode just because the ending
❤❤ can't wait to see yall in Macon!
Lambert's is in Sikeston, MO
I always think about how early school starts in the US. In the UK most schools start as early as 8:30am and genarally finsh by 3:30pm. And that's elementary through high school. Science suggests growing bodies and brains need an adequte amount of sleep and starting school later in the day is betther for children.
Can you imagine that there is a school in Brooklyn, NY that is considering going to a 12 hour school day? They want to make it easier on parents. How about the poor teachers and students stuck in school for 12 hours??
Systems like this actually exist in some European countries. Germany for example has something that's called a "Whole Day School" in German it's Ganztagsschule, which basically means that the students stay there until 4 pm. In Austria, we have a few of them as well, and from the Google reviews I can tell that the reputation is not really good 😅 I remember when I was in Middle School (over 15 years ago XD), the government wanted to make this as a permanent thing in every school. Well, that was the first time where we as students went on the streets to protest and our school let us do that without repercussions. I guess, most of the teachers didn't want that either. 🤣
@@MrsDaedalus_ But did the children go to school at 4:00 a.m? We have an after school program that runs until 6 pm but it is not run by the teachers. A different company is in charge of the after school program and it is voluntary. Parents pay for it like daycare.
As a sub I even have to ask other teachers to go to the bathroom during lunch because admin refuse to give us a key. It's incredibly demeaning.
All the Lamberts' are in Missouri.
Lambert's claim to fame is that they will throw rolls to you if you call for it. One time I called for a roll from the front all the way to the back and the waiter hit a light fixture and it fell and hit a baby!
Miley Cyrus is the theme song to his beard growth journey!
IT'S THA CLIMMMMMMB
There is a Lamberts in Foley Al. The original is in Sikeston Mo.
U guys are awesome and hilarious 😂
Is Gabe ever coming back to the podcast? Shout out Gabe!
Lambert's is home of throwed rolls! It's in Springfield, Missouri. (Or if we're being technical, Ozark, which is next door.)
The restaurant is Lamberts where they throw rolls. But I don’t think they go as far north as IL. The one Ik is in southern Missouri
At my old school, there was a boy , he was a trouble maker, always yelling at teachers, and one day when everyone was leaving he hid in the GIRLS bathroom and waited for everyone to leave. Then he took a took a dookie and used it to write a N-word and other hate words and symbols on the stall. (Here umm Hitlers symbol.. i don't know how to explain it)
The SCREAMING 😱😤 I can't stand it! It's more of an Alert issue... I live by a Playground and I hear Screams ALL DAY LONG. I tried talking to the Girls. How those Screams should be used in Emergencies Only. Play, Have fun... Just thinking about IF you're in trouble... How would Anyone know?? Just A Safety Issue.... For Me🤷🏾♀️❣️💯
Our 6th grade girls have pooped and peed in the little box on the floor where there pads were suppose to go...YUK
Our custodians took pictures and sent it to admin.
Is kansas even on the map?
20 minutes planning! No, that’s just wrong….
