Welcome back to Teachers Off Duty! Join Bri Richardson, Devin Siebold, and James Yon in this ‘Crying in My Car Podcast’ crossover where there’s no holding back on the craziest classroom chaos stories!
Like teaching isn’t hard enough, we have chaos slowing down our lessons like one kindergartner who glued her crayons under her desk on the first day, to another student who was so annoyed by the lack of story time that they threw all their clothes off to make his displeasure make a statement.
Remember when we asked our student to share his milk with the class - right, because we didn’t! Just imagine the snap back to reality during an actual peaceful day when out of nowhere a student decides to turn into a human fountain, spitting milk on his classmates directly behind him.
Sometimes we’re just asking for it like the time when a science experiment went all kinds of wrong by completely filling the lab with bubbles. Not the kind of rave we’re hoping for.
Speaking of science, you won’t believe what a student brought from home to “enhance” a biology lesson. It wasn’t so bad until it decided to go home early! You just got to hear it to believe it.
Jump right to it!
5:22 - Unfortunate Milk Mishaps
11:45 - Teacher Influenced Chaos
17:30 - Detention Reflection
22:15 - Bookshelf Blunders
28:40 - We Shouldn’t Laugh but…
33:50 - No More Story Time!
39:25 - Actual Classroom Scars
But there’s more - how could we prepare ourselves for a student starting a conga line during a math test. Imagine stepping out for just a second and returning to the surprise of a full blown makeshift carnival being run in your classroom. Whoof, there’s not enough coffee to get us through that.
So order that venti, take the long way to school, and tune into this week’s Teachers Off Duty! Maybe that math test conga line wasn’t such a bad idea…

I know I just posted, but I don’t know what I would’ve done if my band director hadn’t been like a dad to me. I had him from 7-12th grade, spent my summers there for camps, and spent all my time staying after and practicing. He was the person my friends went to when they realized my eating patterns were becoming dangerous and o had lost a lot of weight. When everything got bad it was him sitting in the counselor’s office holding my hand when my dad was called about the anorexia and self harm. He would stay late everyday because my step mom couldn’t pick me up until a certain time, it was either him or one of the other music department people would always be there. He truly was like a dad to me, I doubt that any of my old fine arts music teachers would be able to help kids not like they did then because things are just so insane. I’m blessed that I had an adult that I could always put my trust in as a father figure.
Lol, bothers me when people say, 'where was the teacher?' Probably dealing with the kid gluing crayons to another kids hair. Priorities \o/
Just came home from my last day as a public school teacher. It feels good.
Tbh, as a student, i've been in 2 classes in 2 schools, and one of the patterns i see is that the most troublesome kid has the most alarming homelife. They'd be letting their anger and frustration that they don't feel safe to express at home, in school. I may not like my troublesome classmates, but i do feel sryy for them at times.
what a trio!! i adore these three ESPECIALLY together 🤩 i also like the balance of comedy, but also just realness and down to earth energy here.
I definitely agree!👍
Thank you for the incredibly kind words. We had an absolute blast recording this
After 11 years as an educator, teachers' kids are either wonderful or terrible. There is no in between. I worry for my daughter when she starts preschool in September. It could go either way.
So true: teacher's authority has been diminished by everyone. The only person with less authority is the substitute teacher. I have seen a sub's authority undermined by a teacher in front of her students. Folks, that is just wrong!
I just started subbing early February. I took a long term position at an elementary school, 5th grade, this happened to me. I left after a month and went to middle school. Totally different vibe. I have a great hall of 6th grade teachers, they're all supportive, they check in, thank me, admin as well. It makes the behaviors easier to deal with.
I am currently working towards becoming a sub, and I do worry about this...
@@anonymous.hippopotamus I changed schools and that made all the difference. My children are 17, 13 and 7. They all went/attend the same elementary school. I felt comfortable in that school bc my kids are smart and well behaved. I chose that school as my first long term position. Clearly I left. I went to my middle child's middle school. The students are different bc they're middle school, I have 3 bells a day. But the staff- mf amazing! We work as a team. Totally different. These people are amazing. We don't dump on eachother, we communicate and that has been everything for progress. I did not realize, until last week, that 4 of the 6 teachers that are close to my door, are long term. We all want to come back next year... bc we have a great niche.
I have subbed for a school and i have noticed that parents have more authorirty in the classrooms than a teacher because they have stripped the teachers power in the classroom
It's because I believe the grades no longer match the age groups. They make them more advanced then they are ready for. There is almost no play learning left in the kindergarten/first grade levels. It's all sit down, be quite work which for someone that small is impossible. This goes for all grades. I've noticed even between my oldest and middle child the huge change in work. Things my oldest did in fifth my middle was doing in third or fourth. This is also why we see this influx in medicated kids because they simply aren't capable of what's expected.
Yep. That's because the country is more concerned about state test standards and so Kindergarteners are forced to learn more than they are ready for to past end of the year exams. NCLB and ECS are also part of the problem, causing schools to pass on failing students so they won't look bad and prevent the school from losing funding, closing, etc.
Preach it Bri!!!! Some kids are really just out of pocket & I fully believe parents are the main cause of that!
I was pregnant with both of my children when I taught school. The staff became aunts, uncles and grandparents. I knew she was their baby, but she did what everyone expected of her. We moved to a new state and new school district when she was in 2nd grade. Apparently we couldn’t stay in our seat and stop talking. She was always on red in the second grade. It was hard for her to learn to adjust from being the school’s baby to being a student. It took some modeling, bribing and prayers. We finally made it to green and stayed there most of the year. It was hard for me as a teacher wanting her to be perfect, but it was hard for her too.
This is what I needed for Monday. My class took our SOL Thursday and they like, "isn't class over?". No, I have to have 2 grades a week for the next 2 weeks and some of y'all need as many grades possible bc they don't understand averages. 😂😂😂
Hey VA Teach❤
@@KatrinaMOwens heyyy!
This trio is the bomb
Thank you!!!
I loved seeing James on this podcast! He must come on again!❤
He'll be here again next week!
@@TeachersOffDutyPodcast I enjoyed James too but is KC gone or is he just taking a break
@@TeachersOffDutyPodcast Yay!
Thanks Sarah, I had a blast!
@@JamesYonComedian Can’t wait to see your next episode!
It's the one's born after 2010. They different
Definitely lol
No, its been bad since before then. They just go worse because no one did anything about it. I blame NCLB and ECCS.
crying in my car duo let’s go
Heeeeeeeyyy!
I always said to my daughter I’m here to be your parent first. Not your best friend, if I’m your friend that’s a bonus.
I have a Kindergartner named Peyton too! It's been a year lol
Not only was my mom a teacher but she taught at the High School I went to for freshman and sophomore year (granted if a teacher had any issues with me they probably weren’t behavior related, it was more like “Why hasn’t she been turning in her Math assignments?” And “She needs to stop reading Beowulf in Statistics class”)
U got some wild parent stories today...😲😆😁
Yes we did!
One time I saw a child take all his clothes off expect his underwear and ran around the hallway…..
When I was student teaching at a title one school a social worker that does mental health recognizes that I have anxiety disorder and my doctor who I had me with something else. I ended up switching doctors and got the diagnosis of anxiety.
Bri thinks she can't handle Kasey, wait until the end of this episode. Also, it took me a good moment until the intro played to realize this wasn't crying in my car lol.
Lol, no we were just visiting
I am a therapist in private practice. I've never wanted to work in the school system, but y'all are making me think that it would be very rewarding work.
Bri, your experiences are exactly like mine, from admin, to disrespect from kids & parents, to never feeling like I was doing a good job.
Why I could never be a teacher right here cuz these stories making yall laugh and all I can think is how I’d end up in jail from whooping some ass
Hi guys,
2 years ago I retired from teaching public high school after 33 years. My last day of my career was June 2, 2021. My 70th birthday was June 15th. I totally relate to what you all are saying. Devin shared about not feeling like he was the best person to with some things. Here is an example of what I dealt with my final year of my career. This was my last year- I had 2 girls in the same class that had seizures. I had a whopping training of approximately 15 minutes. Luckily for me ( and them) that only one of these girls had one seizure at the end of the school year and I was pretty much paralyzed. If it hadn’t been for two students in that class that handled it and took care of her it could have gone VERY badly for the student and for me. Anyway, at approaching 72 years of age, I am completely grateful that I was able to competently teach until I was basically 70 years old. I loved my job until about the last 3 weeks of my career. I was TOTALLY burned out ( physically and mentally). I love crying in my car and this vlog too. Elizabeth in Texas
too

The. A a r NET version has to
You should do a vlog on strategies you have used to try to engage the quiet kid in the back of the room and the humorous results when the strategy didn't work. Though I'm not a teacher I find your videos very funny.
I love watching these. I have 3 kids, and I love to see what kids are like at school so I can be really specific with my kids about what NOT to do. I appreciate you guys!
I've not missed one episode keep it up!! I wake up Sunday morning looking for ur podcast
This helps MY mental health ❤️
The parents that were the first to tell us to call blocked the school phone number after the 2nd or 3rd call.
I recall my English teacher in high school saying she was going to call two boy's parents for messing around the first kid's parents had blocked the school number, the second kid's mom cussed the teacher out and told her not to bother her with that "shit".
These vids always help me sleep
Middle schoolers and high schoolers caring about fairness before anything else is so real, I had an English teacher who had a short fuse and this boy in my class would always get in trouble but was always nice to other students. Looking back i think this kid just had trouble paying attention and sitting still and was frustrated with no one encouraging him and supporting him, he got screamed at by her (and I mean SCREAM, her full lung capacity was being used and everything) for standing up for some girls that were being chewed out for not following unclear instructions that they didn’t understand. She eventually spiraled and told him he wouldn’t amount to anything, that he would spend his life being a “burger flipper” again while screaming. I never got in trouble and I couldn’t help but give her sass and eye rolls after that, I fucking hated her. We all just resented her for the power hungry dictator she was over the class, if you show too much of how you pick favorites and look down on people even your favorites will begin to despise you and make your life more difficult. The kids who recorded the screaming and reported her were all students who she treated well, but everyone could see that this kid cared for other people and got punished for it by her. She lost every ounce of respect that day with our class and there was no bringing it back, the class became out of control after that even the 4.0 goody two shoes students hated her and were open about it and the whole time this woman acted like a victim when she was the one who decided to make a teen boy cry in front of his peers FOR TRYING TO DEFEND HIS FRIENDS. That was her last year teaching at that high school, good riddance.
I appreciate learning this information. Bri is great. KC Mack is equally great too. I learn and appreciate you all. I started my own Executive Grant Consultant Writing Business and I know many former teachers would make grant writers.
My nephew was expelled from daycare for calling the teacher a fat b-word multiple times
Good. I hope your nephew is homeschooled.
@@sorafanchick he actually was and he got a lot better! It’s crazy the transformation children can go through. They really grow so much in a better environment don’t they :)
@@CaylaCommonFolk True. Some kids do better in smaller settings or in isolation, especially ones with behavioral challenges or developmental delay. I worked with kids who went from a full classroom setting to IEP mandated classroom and both grades as well as behavior would improve significantly. Of course, it also helps when parents take an active interest in raising kids so they don't think cursing people out is a good idea (neither will it get results).
Teacher's kids are like Preacher's kids - the expectation is unreal. True story: I taught K in a Christian school that my elementary daughter and jr. high son also attended. My son was in trouble almost daily. It just so happened that the Principal's son, Librarian's son, Administrator's son, and Pastor's son were all in the same class (of maybe 10-12 kids total) with him - they were usually all in trouble together. Part of the problem was they were all too smart. You needed to keep them busy or they found something to keep themselves busy. But in Christian school, it could be not tucking your uniform shirt in or you were talking in class. These boys regularly had to teardown a 1000 chairs in the church sanctuary/gymnasium on rainy days and then put them all back up after school. Both my kids swore they would never be teachers after all the years they had to help out in my classroom or be at school(church) 6 or 7 days a week.
As a Montana resident my only piece of advice is watch out for the deer on the highways if you’re driving and if you go to Yellowstone Park, please don’t hug the wildlife. Enjoy your trip to my lovely state.
I was always respectful to other kids and teachers in school. I did have my moments where I had challenges with understanding certain things that they wanted me to do the teachers because it was kind of almost like they were treating me as kind like a assistant teacher I felt like that in preschool and elementary but more of middle school and there were times. in elementary school were they were trade me Canville months like a staff person like one of them because I like to help I like to be helpful you know, and I was never the type of kid to bully another student and I have epilepsy seizure disorder and ADHD I feel like I never got to focus on just school because I had multiple things going on like doctor, appointments and different types of therapy and I’ll like horseback riding physical therapy speech therapy sensational therapy, which is where they take different textures and rubbing against your skin to wake up your nervous system and I didn’t like missing school there were days where I would have to miss school because I have a seizure or I had to go to a doctor appointment and I never liked missing school ever. I don’t wanna be a teacher anything like that not at all I don’t know if I could in the public service and in my own way my entire life and that’s not where you wanna go to school for iamb not a science freak I am not a medical geek. I was never interested in medicine
I love your podcast! I’ve been a bus driver for 18 years and that’s an experience too!!! 🙄
Great episode!!!
Thanks
My nephew was doing book reports in kindergarten.
Me in kindergarten: Making plaster of Paris ash trays and naking a nap on a bath towel from home on the classroom floor. Class was over before noon.
I have a back-and-forth notebook that I took with me to and from school so my teachers and teacher assistance could write in it and how my behavior was to my parents and what homework I had to do or what my assignments are in any field trips or tests that I have coming up and there weren’t really that many times for I was a bad girl in school like I was disrespectful there were just times where I was just having a moment having come from a bad day During school and I just wanted to color or something just to decompress or take a nap
Devin’s story sounds like a red dye crossed with ADD issue. Mine had issues in elementary caused by that.
I'm totally missing KC Mac on this episode! He's the best. Love The guest tho & Bri as always!
Brie I missed you !!!! I love this episode
Anybody ever taught a school that used paddling as punishments ?
Unfortunately you can not teach the same way in Catholic Schools, how is it different, what do they do differently?
Besides paying more for the Education.....
Private schools have a much higher, rigorous standard - Since they aren't government funded, they have different schedules & different curriculum 😊
Calling mom worked for my son.
Hold onto your hat for when Peyton is in 8th grade!!!!
I think there should psycological assistance availible for preschoolers.
Where’s Mac and angry gym teacher ?
Angry Gym Teacher was only a monthly guest... KC I have no clue
😂
WHERES KC 😂
He’s bald and nearsighted now.
