You should talk about student fights and what to do. One of our favorite long term subs was fired due to not breaking up a fight fast enough according to the school. Keep in mind he is 75 and is recovering from cancer.
We had a sub actively try to fight a kid at my school 🤦♀️
@@odinwarriorsgirl damn how fast was he or she fired?
Not worth talking about, bad school
I would watch that and love it
@@odinwarriorsgirl BACKGROUND STORY PLS
These podcasts aren't long enough 😭 I feel like I could sit and listen all day. It's so helpful for me as a new teacher to be able to hear these things.
I have been listening all day and not ready to run out of episodes…. It’s my one day off from teaching🤣
@@pillowtalk1925 q
definitely
I could listen to this podcast for a long time also I enjoy it
Thank you I have RUN through them allllllll
I'm a senior in high school and I was making up a test that I missed from being out for tennis the other day. So while I'm testing my APUSH teacher from last year walks into my current economics teacher who is her good friend, and the entire time I'm testing they are talking about a student that never goes to class, is failing both of their classes with an 18, and still gets to participate in extra curriculum. I was doing my best not to laugh cause they were ranting for a straight half hour and I was just trying to finish the test. I hear my teachers complain all the time at my school about students that skip (they never say names tho so I have no clue which students they are)
I’m a senior in high school as well, but I work as a front office aid. I learned really quickly(I’m usually loud and talkative) that if I be quiet, I learn all kinds of stuff about teachers, students, admin, and other staff. Also, another kind of cool perk is that one of the custodians doesn’t really speak to students because she doesn’t know much English, but she always says hello to me in English and I’ve been working on small conversations in Spanish. She’s the sweetest lady ever. As for teacher besties, my lit teacher has her teacher bestie and I’m always in my lit teacher’s classroom to make up work or asking for help with writing something for whatever reason. Anyways, her bestie now says hey to me and knows me by name and they’ll talk in front of me.
As someone who grew up baptist I can say that the “unspoken my seat rule” is very very true
“Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right…. Right” I love Bri! 😂

This podcast gives me life, as a 2.5yr old preschool teacher I think we need reality shows!
Yessss!!! Omg lol
Omg ur 2 and a half??
Jkjk u just phrased it funny and it made me laugh
Lol a talk show yes but a reality show would be utter chaos!
Omg please do a reality show! I can't imagine a better show than a bunch of toddler teachers 😂😂😂 Just picturing my 3 yo in charge of other lives😂😂😂 The hijinks, the drama, the arguments 😂😂
Me, not a teacher, just enjoying the content
All these teacher Bestie stuff reminds me of all of the fourth grade teachers at my elementary school like all the families knew each other and they would hang out on Christmas day Thanksgiving like they were like a family
Mrs. Nelson was my 1st grade teacher and rumor has it she was also Brad Pitts teacher. The year I had Mrs. Nelson as a teacher she tried so hard to teach me that once the year changes after new years. The year won't go back. I was so convinced That we would go from 1999 back to 1998 😂🤣
Teachers can not survive toxicity work environments without their besties. Whether the bestie is your Para (T.A), your fellow grade level colleagues, or another grade/subject colleague. More than half of my classroom management strategies came from my teacher besties. You need a bestie at work, so you do not bring it home and dump it on your partner or family. This podcast is so valid!!
OMG!!! This is so much fun! I’m an early childhood teacher in Asia, we have been on zoom (again) for about 2 months now… it’s so emotionally draining. So lovely to see all of you fabulous teachers out there talk about our work lives!
Are you an international school teacher?? I am!
I want to express my appreciation for the four of you. I'm 61 years old and I didn't have teachers that seemed like real people like you are. My teachers were more robotic until the 7th grade. Then there were a few that showed they could have a serious impact on their students while showing they could also be humorous. I enjoyed learning from them more than all the other ones that seemed robotic to me. Please don't let the system ever get to you. Please stay the way you are because your students deserve teachers who believe in what they are doing and aren't afraid to make a difference in this world.
Isn't it nice knowing you received a superior education when compared to what kids are getting today? Every teacher in the history of teaching believes in what they are doing, these folks certainly didn't. And the only difference these teachers are making in the world is that they are turning out more depressed, depraved, and gender confused kids than at any time in history.

That's how extroverts become friends with introverts.
We sit there quietly and are shy and won't go up to people and meet them. And then some extrovert is like "y'know what? I like that one's energy. Imma talk to them" and that's how we obtain friends and besties.
When I was in HS, my Social Studies dept was mostly male/coaches and the Language and English departments were mostly female. Science and Math departments were probably the most even split.
When I was a freshman I got caught in the middle of a teacher bestie fight. I was in yearbook and the field hockey coach didn’t like my coverage, and the yearbook teacher (best teacher ever) was like bruh you’re mad at me and taking it out on my student wth!!! It was so awkward lol.
I have such severe anxiety that I'll be so quiet in the classroom that sometimes teachers or even friends won't know that I'm in the room until I either turn something in or ask the teacher a question.
Yay I’m early! Thank you so much for doing this podcast its really helpful as someone who wants to become a high school history teacher. Y’all are awesome.
oh my gosh same!!!
Same bro! High school history is the best!
I worked at an Osceola County charter school & had 3 of the most outstanding team besties since I started teaching in '97.
It was like poetry...if one was delayed or ill we smoothly just transcended organization of the students.
It was so fluid our students started to organize themselves...
"We 7 are going to Ms. D, so yall need to go to either to Ms. M or Mr. B.
Though rare, it was a joy to work with these educators. We completely change the culture of our school to a supportive & respectful environment.
I cried when they each transferred. The climate was not the same. So, I transfered so as not to fall into a depressive state.
I need you all to be on a USA tour, the dynamics are amazingly hilarious. Vertigo! 😆
One of My teacher besties is the crazy science teacher that the kids mostly dislike 🤦♀️ he is misunderstood and sorta nuts but he’s a good person! Another is the librarian and we frequently hide in her office and avoid people
One of my friends now said that she thought I was like some mean popular girl. Honestly that’s a huge compliment but like I’m the opposite of that lmao.
My principal is actually pretty good. I can go to her office and vent and after words she'll be like are you good or do you need solutions.
i’m from tennessee. nice to see someone that graduated right down the road.
I can relate to Mrs. Woolley. Everyone tells me I look mean lol so I may struggle making some teacher besties when the time comes.
20:51 ngl her joke got me. Especially when she erased it 😂😂 omg
A vertigo 🤣 This is my new favorite podcast
“If it ain’t 10 the LORD is asleep” Bayyyyybeeeeeeeeeee!!!! That’ll preach 😂🤞🏽🫶🏽I love y’all 💖
You all speak truth about classrooms all across the country! I’ve been in classrooms on the West coast, Midwest and now East coast and it’s funny how similar kids are. My teachers besties in the schools I’ve been in saved me from going crazy AND early retirement!!
Yall I'm an autistic teacher. I literally have a behavior plan. They have to give me a 15 minute break if I have more than 3 classes at a time.
I don't know if it fixes it, I still have to work to keep myself from melting down, but it helps. So yeah teachers can get accommodations too!
I really look forward to y'alls posts. It always makes me smile and reminds me of all the awesome teachers I've had ^.^
My 2nd grade team still gets together once or twice a year. We all left the school for various life changes 10 years ago. Only 2/6 still work in education. We're still besties.
I have no teacher bestie either. I am friendly with my colleagues, but I have no one go to teacher that I have established a real friendship with. I started my first year during the pandemic (2020) which is a tough time to be a new teacher, especially if you don’t have that one go to person to talk to. I really enjoy watching you all because it helps bring me clarity on what are my issues as a teacher and what may be more universal teacher issues. There have been many things you all discussed that I thought were just symptoms of my incompetence, and I now know are actually normal teaching issues. I also learned how I can improve as a teacher by watching you all discuss all things teaching. So, thank you for this outlet for us teachers who may not have a trusted confident they can go to for these things. 🤗
LOVE THIS! My teacher bestie, when I was teaching freshman theatre while getting my graduate degree, was my Graduate Voice Professor....we got in SOOO much trouble for being too loud outside the theatre while auditions were going on...Director (fellow grad student) comes storming out to yell at what he thought were students being too loud....instead he ran out cussing out me and his own Prof...deer in the headlights moment for him, embarrassing for us...
Love you all! I am entertaining the idea of becoming a teacher aide for my retirement years and you all have been so helpful! Thank you so much!
This is absolutely amazing I love you guys and I just started watching three of you and you guys are just amazing and I would love to keep listening to this and the podcast!!!
Omg I love this pod cast I feet like every parent should watch this podcast….I would be honored to have any of you teach my child. My child starts public kindergarten next year and this podcast has helped with my anxiety about that ❤️
Love Sunday as I get to listen to my favorite Social media teachers
Education Horrors, would be a great name for any TV show on teacher crims. Either against or by a teacher.
Yes!!!!
Been a LONG week, so Happy to see y'all. ❤
For sure about that unspoken rule about the unassigned seating. I sit there once, I sit there every day. It is my spot
One of my student teachers became a lifelong teacher bestie. We always knew what the other was thinking and could complete each other’s sentences. We were one teacher. When she got married, I was her matron of honor. Even when I moved to another school, we remained close. Now I’m retired and I still understand her. She still vents to me and I still have her back! ❤
Honest Teacher is right! We loves YALL! Mess and all!
I’m a Custodial supervisor/facilities maintenance assistant at a private high school. So I can’t really relate as a teacher, but working at a school can relate to SOME things. I think it would be interesting to see an episode with a custodian or Maintenance person. We are so under rated, but people don’t realize all that we do in the background to keep that building operable. All the things we clean, fix, organize, set up/tear down, etc in order to make day to day school and events work fluidly for staff, students, and parents…
Sending so much love & alotta hugs to my favorite 4 TEACHERS!!! I really wish I had teachers like you when I was in school!!! I ALWAYS have people say I'm intimidating, but i just say that it's just my face & I'm Native, so i have natural R.B.F🤷♀️😂 Much love to y'all from this Oklahoma Grl 💋 🖤
Them work besties are the best! They will either keep you from quitting, out of jail, or be right there with you in the chaos 🤣🤣🤣
Me, by the end of the podcast: *audibly wheezing*
I love these podcasts. I'm not a teacher but at 1 point in time I wanted to become an 8th grade science teacher. Part of me still wishes that that had happened, But the other part is so glad that I didn't. Mainly because of everything you all were having to go through. I am so proud of you all for pushing through though
Can I just say that, as an introvert who likes people but doesn’t like approaching them, I LOVE having colleagues like Beca. I will happily exist in my classroom/cave by myself forever if someone doesn’t drag me out.
Love you all, you Crack me up!
How could we survive school without friends like i would have just spiraled into chaos
As someone who's mom is a teacher I love listening to these
Not even a teacher here but I’m loving these. I have a child with an iep and asd adhd all the works coupled with aggression. I just LOVE his teacher and his Paras because they deal with so much and they’re just so good with all these sweet babies. Kudos to all you teachers. I couldn’t do it. I teach Sunday school n that’s a lot for me. Y’all are superhuman ❤
When I graduated I was one of ten graduating and the school had about 85 students 7th through 12th. It was preeeetty small.
I am a 5th grade student and my math and science teachers are each others student besties and I would sometimes stay behind to help one them (we have our specials at the end of the day) and I would chat with them about things because they acted like I was one of their teacher besties and i loved it
DID SHE JUST SAY CRIMINAL MINDS IS HER FAVORITE TV SHOW FINALLY SOMEONE THAT ACTUALLY LIKES IT
My 12yr old daughter told me she doesn't like when her besties cry around her because she doesn't know what to say. I had to tell her that it's totally okay to not know what to say. Give them a hug. Just be there while they vent or cry. Tell them you don't know what to say, but you want to be there for them. You don't have to pretend to know. Them knowing you're willing to be there matters more than you think...and I'm glad she was listening but she was cracking me up because she was so ready to try out this new skill that she was frustrated that her friends had nothing tear worthy going on 😂😂😂
I have to say how much I adore you all!! You were talking about how hard the first year teaching was. My son had a first year teacher. I volunteered to help her, she was so sweet and a great teacher. When my son went to the next grade she cried and asked me to help her again. (Of course I did.) lol 😁
no lie...I am the youngest oldest teacher that my kids will say. I am a special education high school teacher and the things they teach ME about social media ON THE DAILY...It is craziness. I am blown haha
one time my 7th grade math teacher told me that she and a sixth grade math teacher we’re teaching eachother how to do wordle during a meeting.
This is the only podcast where I genuinely like respond and want to jump in the conversation! So interesting definitely subscribed and I don’t even like school or know any teachers lmaoooo
My daughter had a teacher like that, cuz of a weird thing the principal decided to do my daughter actually got to have her twice but her name was mrs. Hartley. I was volunteer coordinator at the school and I love that teacher as well oh, she kept all the stuff I made her for her class and would put it back up every year. There's actually a lot of teachers at that school that did that with special stuff I made them, a couple things got laminated because of how durable they wanted them and they were able to compact down to the size of a roll of wrapping paper for the Earth I made for culture night for example I made it accurate with weather patterns and everything and we did girl and boy cutouts of different skin colors holding hands the teacher ended up loving it so much she wanted to be able to use it over and over and over oh, so I carefully measured and cut and laminated it and strips that she could easily put up herself. I still have teacher phone numbers in my phone that I get calls from every so often to make a little fix here and there or a special project that only I can pull off. We did a lot of projects for the four different special needs classrooms we had, so I made batches of special matching folders that took multiple layers to make and the teachers would trade them between the classrooms so the kids would get to learn different stuff at different levels. One of the teachers had this cute frog that was the weather frog but didn't have any of the clothes to dress up the Frog anymore and so I made them for all the different weather we laminated them and put Velcro on them so the kids could dress the frog in the morning or when the weather changed. Another favorite was Miss Gentry and she was our Pinterest teacher she would come to us with projects and we figure out how to do them oh, I made her a Doctor Who data board when one yr I did it over summer vacations because our school was the summer school spot that year and we stayed on to help and made the student handbooks for the next year. The data board was the Tardis going through the warp with little mini Doctor Who caricatures for the kids. One of the very last things I did before having to step down, I was in a lot of pain due to medical reasons later on I got diagnosed with permanent nerve and muscle damage
I love you guys! I am a SLP in the schools and I wish I had someone to go cry to. It is lonely being the only one that knows my challenges.
I really loved this episode. It did make me realize I don’t have a teacher bestie for real anymore but I did just move to a new school so that’s part of it. Keep pushing out these great videos!!!
Honestly i feel like the best teachers ive seen are either young teachers or like older male teachers
maybe its just me but i haven't yet had a older female teacher that most people liked.
The high-school I went to is in such a small town, it's blended with the elementary. 100 total kids in the building pre-k through 12
As a southern Baptist I can confirm that your seat is YOUR seat until you change church's or until the Lord calls you home. There is no in-between!
Man, I'm not a teacher but shout out to the people who just decide to be the friends of hermits- we would have 0 friends without yall. I just... Forget about having a social life lol.
This podcast gives me life! I’m a pre-k teacher and I always feel less to other teachers. Mr.Williams literally gets me through this school year. I have so many funny pre-k moments. Love these stories!
Public or private Pre-k
We have 150 people in our district. A graduating class at most is 13 people.
17:04 my name is Sabryna nothing related just cool to hear!
I am not a teacher but I love you guys and enjoy watching you all!! I do like how you guys talk about having a teacher bestie. I work in Property Management (apartments) and oh my gosh, if I did not have a work bestie, I work go off on tenants. Keep going!! ✨
God, I love Bri!!
I can so totally identify with being misperceived because you're shy. I can't count how many people thought bad things about me in school and work situations because I was very introverted. It could be that those of us with especially tender hearts learn to protect them very closely.
On a separate note, I wish I had the maturity and communications skills you guys have when I was your age. Vent once and then work on a solution. I spent my working life in the corporate world, and a manager would always respect a complaint more if it was accompanied by a potential solution.
I'm not even a teacher but I love this
I want to be all of yalls friend seriously! I love all of thiiissss
interesting! PLT in my school is permission to leave, essentially a slip written on and posted in the front office for you to grab and give to your teacher after your parent calls it in.
I feel you, Lauren.
When I would respond to things at work, it will be sarcasm. I sometimes got in trouble for that. I had to sometimes say nothing so my sarcastic self didn't come out at the wrong time.
I’m dying at the vertigo comment 😂
Please keep doing these
slightly related to bri's angry march story: when my history teacher gets mad, since it's never usually at his students, we become the besties he's goes off to. like just today he got super annoyed at the vice principal (completely understandable, even *i* know that the admins at my school suck) and he was just popping swear words off like fireworks ...😭 this is probably irresponsible and could get him in trouble but as middle schoolers all we can do is just sit back and watch
If we're going to talk about teacher besties, we must mention teacher nemesis.
I left my 7th grade English group, for a class of 25 little 2nd graders.
I love the 7th graders and I love teaching English. I'm sad every single day. It's been 5 weeks, I don't often get this sad about anything 😞 especially not for this long, before I shut down emotionally because I'd felt enough.
We have a staff meeting during our morning break every day, so I'm forced to walk past the class.
But they come to say hi often. Bittersweet moments though. One of my teacher besties' class is right across from mine. She teaches, amongst others, LO to the Grade 7s. She's also the school medic. The schools here haven't had nurses since 1994.
One.of my babies comes back from recess, crying uncontrollably. She had fallen, and tried but failed by 1000000ths of a milliseconds, to break the fall or protect her face. She landed head first 😱 I took her to my friend immediately. She checked her for signs of concussion or any other injuries. She told her to rest a while and go back. We ended up having to call her parents. I was shocked to see her eye sockets doing some of the work.
It sounds like tell needs to verdi-GO👉🏼 😂😂😂
My teacher bestie and I used to be next door to each other, but we had to move to another floor and now we are at the opposite ends of the hall from each other, so now we call each other many times a day!! We would not survive without each other.
Y’all are hilarious
“Inventing Miss Jessica”
AGAHQ I love the intro
Ok but I totally relate with Mr. Williams. This year I have had 4 co teachers in my class and it’s so hard. It’s almost worst than a breakup
No no we always go me tell Bree Lauren we always do that😂😂
awesome podcast
Pahaha That is my chair at church too!
I am not a teacher, but I can empathize with Brie's not having a work bestie Thankfully, I found a place that has loads of higher energy. People thought I was unapproachable because I worked on keeping that in.
*Lauren not Brie
The pre-K-8 school I work at doesn't even have 100 kids, we live in a small town in Missouri.
My graduating class had 10 people and we were the second biggest class in school history!
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! What state are y’all in? I’m currently working on my teaching degree! 🥰
I started subbing last year and finding all y'alls tiktoks/youtubes/etc has been so amazing. Can I be your friend, too? lol
I know this was so long ago but I came up with a name for this tv show idea “The Substitute”. We know from the beginning that she stole the dead teachers identity, but not why she did it or how the teacher died. Eventually, we find out
can you make a childrens book based on connors antics?
I started watching Tell last year on Tiktok, them Rebecca. Now the podcast. All discovered separately.
This story isn’t on topic but it’s alright. In 2nd i had these 2 “friends” that were literally jerks to me but didn’t think they did anything wrong. One day at recess i was just hanging out with my 2 friends and they were yelling rude comments to those “friends” and i was just talking to them about the “friends” and didn’t really realize that they were right there so then the girls told the meanest teacher and i the one who really did nothing wrong because i was saying it in secret got in trouble with the teacher and my mom was on the PTO and she was right outside the classroom as i was sobbing from getting yelled at. Never ever forget that day
