Welcome back to Teachers Off Duty! This week our hosts Bri Richardson, Devin Siebold, and James Yon unpack the weirdest teachers of the news, that you have to see to believe.
Sick days are hard to come by, but luckily for this teacher, while battling cancer, his fellow teachers came to his rescue. Although it's a heartwarming story of comradery between peers, should he have to take his friends sick days?
While most teachers seem to have bad luck, a small group of teachers in Kentucky managed to win the lottery! To make it even better they had plans to use some of that money on their students, but we can't help but wonder if we would have been so generous.
In a turn of events we found a teacher in the news that was forced to resign after her ex-boyfriend maliciously sent some things to her school officials! Is it fair for this teacher to lose her job due to someone else's actions?
Speaking of stressful situations, we found a story about a bat on the playground, but not the sports kind, the animal kind. This flying rodent created a massive commotion, causing far more chaos than we ever imagined possible.

I work at a small preschool in NJ. We had one of our ‘veteran teacher’s spouse pass from cancer this year-within 4 months of diagnosis. Our entire 23 staff members including admin all donated sick/pto days (as well as so much more) so that she could be with her family and fly him home to be buried. Things like this are what make me love my school.
I am in Texas. Our school was in the news for a raccoon infestation! They were living in our ceilings and would chew through the wires. Eventually, they started chewing through the ceiling tiles. One fell out of the ceiling into the hallway on Parent/Teacher conference night!
Dang y’all aren’t even that bad compared to my schools. One was inappropriate touching from a teacher to a student, fired for that, the campus police found a weapon in a car, and to top that off at my middle school, it was a girls birthday and she brought cupcakes and everyone who ate it got drugged.
Lmao we had kittens fall out of the ceiling at the middle school while a teacher was in the middle of the class
I wouldn’t be mad at this.
@@DevinSiebold definitely much better than bats
Awwwww 😂 I know some of those parents were mad when their kids came home with a random kitten 😸
The teachers were like, "Huh? Kittens? Where?" As they had one at home. 😂😂
In my district, we have a sick bank through our union. When you’re hired you can choose to sign up to donate 2 sick days per year for the first 6 years of your employment. It really helped a teacher this year whose baby was born with medical difficulties. It’s a really great program.
It is so wild we have to sacrifice sick days for each other instead of the government actually taking care of its citizens. Pathetic.
I left a community college after 22 years w 500+ sick time and they would not let me donate at all. I asked HR and they smiled and said “no transfers.”
@@strayiggytvFr. It’s so alien to me. UK you get anywhere from 4-5 weeks holiday off depending on your employer. 3 days off for sick days I believe but if you have a valid reason they’ll extend it. Our prime minister made it harder this year though smh.
Devin calling out Bri for the way she pronounces things and continues calling Bozeman "Booze-man". 🤣
Wait. I’m wrong? Gah!
Thank god someone finally said something. I’ve been meaning to comment the same thing for a while.
My school was on the news for something good. Our girl’s flag football team went to the NFL draft with the Seahawks and got a shoutout about it on national TV…they of course mispronounced the city our school is in though which made us all laugh. 😂😂😂
I'm an 80s baby, went to a K-12 School in Tennessee. Our PE teachers were the high school football coach and girls basketball coach. Yes, back in the day the football coach wore these tiny shorts and cleats(back in the day) lol.
Our union runs a sick leave bank just for this reason. We all donate a couple days and then whoever runs out can access it.
Hello,
I taught my last 5 years at a school district in New Mexico. The first year that I taught at that school the fire alarm did not work. Apparently, it had been broken for awhile. You are so correct- the news was called and within a day or two it was fixed! It was a miracle that the school was not closed down. That was (potentially) so dangerous for both staff and students- not to mention HIGHY ILLEGAL! Elizabeth in Texas
Im in Virgina now, but i came from Pennsylvania. It didnt make the news, but our theater production of Tarzan needed a smoke machine for the prolouge. The machine set off the fire alarm, and we had to evacuate in our costumes. And the fire department showed up. Not to mention there was construction on the roof of the school when all this went down. So we have constructing vechiles and fire trucks all at the back of the school, while theres a group of apes and a kid in a loin cloth and old shirt
😂😂😂
It sucks to hear, but cool to hear the full story of Devin leaving. My school got put on the news because of the bus shortage and they photographed all our kids with a drone to see how many we were filling up
I honestly remember that Bat news story! I was teaching overseas at the time and wanted to find an article in English, somewhat science related as an example for them to write their own article and remember going "Oh this is great, my students will love it...annnnd it's in Florida" 😑 (They did like it though and the assignment went over well!)
And also I HAVE been dress coded as a teacher- at that same school because all female teachers were required to wear dresses or skirts (not pants/trousers). I'd get called out if I wore leggings under a dress (just a comfort factor for me) but NOPE. I also was not aware of this before I was hired and literally could not find any dress in my size and we were in the middle of nowhere.
Alberta Canada here.Back when I was in elementary our school was in the news as two guys broke in, stole spelling bee prizes and since they cut themselves on the glass they set fire to the school. The top split of the school was burned along with two halls that were destroyed. The bottom split had to be deep cleaned, and classes were moved into the library. They did catch the guys as there was blood on the snow outside.
İn Bris defense, all of those words are French :)
Sometimes you meet the parents and it all becomes so clear why there are issues…….
I enjoyed this episode, particularly Devin’s voice as “Batman.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
James Yon was my highschool best friend’s sister’s husband! He is absolutely hilarious. We had absolutely great times. They are an awesome family and he is the best!!!! Glad to see him!
When I was in highschool in the 80s a snake escaped from the biology lab and was in the vent system for days. The news didn't like the snake's name and asked us to change it. It was changed to Bambi.
What was the snakes 🐍 name?
To be honest 😬 this my favorite lineup, I hope they stay cause these 3 flow good together.
this was such a great episode, the only issue is the edit you can clearly tell at 21:09 they should have made that smoother.
Omg sis it’s a 54 minute video I don’t think it matters
BEST FRIEND!! @honestteachervibes, I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL IN THE SOUTH (GA- and you know GA and MS are cousins... not kissing cousins)IN EARLY 2000s(graduated 2008 ( i think we are about the same age)) and my PE teachers ( male and female) wore short shorts in middle school and high school. I saw more of my male PE teachers thigh than I've seen of any man in my life... it was too much!! They'd also be bright red and windbreaker material... no cleats though!
My high school a few times a broom stick incident I’ll leave it at that . And my 10th grade male math teacher went to jail because he was having relations with a male student
Yeah my school was on the News because a student passed around THC gummies and didn't tell anyone what it was and so many kids were rushed to the ER
Was this within the last year? I heard about this happening somewhere in the last few months!
I am a college student majoring in education. My small rural school district was in the news multiple times. Most interesting one was when parents, students, and community members overflowed a board of education meeting. Our school was going to take in a neighboring district and people were upset. It ended in a shouting match and the meeting ending early due to chaos.
My former school was in the news in 2019. I was on medical leave when it happened, and I first found out from a CZcamsr in Texas. I saw the door but not the name of the school but instantly recognized it. I kept asking others to confirm it, and sure enough, it was my school. Needless to say, I didn’t return to that school. I looked up that article a few days ago, and the principal’s name and face was in an article. A student wasn’t allowed to go to the bathroom, peed on themselves, and was forced to wear a trash bag (never called the family). After months of the issue not being resolved, the parents filed a lawsuit.
This combo is great. I’m totally fan girling over Devin and Bri would be so fun to teach with! My husband and I went to the show in Michigan at the Fox and we got to meet KC, Andrea and Tell but Devin had to leave. 😢
My elementary school made the news twice. The first time, we had Ruby Bridges come to our school to an assembly to talk to us about her book Through Her Eyes. She signed all our free copies of the book that we got, I got to take a picture with her and a few other students for an article for the Washington Post, and the assembly was televised and broadcasted on the C-SPAN channel (which you can still watch today on their website) The second time we made the news was because of the 12 million dollar fire that burned down the entire school. 😢 I was in 5th grade and our class pet hamster died in the fire. I was devastated when i was told the news 😭
lol my middle school was on the news for burning down and my high school all for grape(you know what I mean) murder, student teacher relationship, we are next to a bank and they would hide out in our school when they robbed it. Like I could go on and on it got so bad we had to sign papers that we wouldn’t talk to the news. And yes I’m from Houston Texas Dekany high school my kids will never go there 😂
them just joking around for more than 5 minutes straight 😆
In my district, we have a district wide school sick bank, if you donate one day a year you have access for all types of these things
This is a story my dads alot, but hes not computer literate.
Back in 84 or 85 the local high school had the good old shop class
The shop teacher, Mr.....Jukebox, liked to build things from popular mechanics (the old handymans monthly magazine)
Well, Mr. Jukebox got it in his head that the semester project would be to build.....a Helicopter
The metals class was in charge of fabricating the frame, the small engine class built the motor and drive system and the shop class made the hub the propellers bolted into. (My father recalls that the propellers themselves were built by professionals)
End of the semester, just before the end of the year, the industrial classes all gather to see the test of their work.
Mr Jukebox climbs aboard and after some non descript details, he leaves the ground.
According to my father, he probably only went about 30 feet at best amd came straight back down and called it a success.
The administration, however, had a different feeling about the culmination of the semester project(s)
Mr Jukebox was disciplined for...... LEAVING THE STUDENTS UNATTENDED AND LEAVING THE PROPERTY. (The second is partially true, but the first was grossly unfair as those students wouldn't dare look away from the crazy man hovering around in a homemade Helicopter)
My superintendent will go on the news for anything. The referendum for an addition? There. National news for a story about how small schools afford to bus students in? There. I wonder if our local stations have her number saved for the next story about anything related to schools...
My high school has made the news because they teach an American political thought and radicalism class. Been going since the 70s. Super cool!
its ALWAYS texas i swear 😭😭
We missourians do not say Missourah. Some might, but it depends on where you go in Missouri.
I live just outside of STL and I always thought it was weird when people say “missourah”. I’m like, “No that’s not how you say it!”😂
There’s a generational divide and a rural/urban divide. The older and/or more rural a Missourian is, the more likely they are to put a schwa in the final syllable.
The punching of the teacher happened in my district. It was insane. True story.
Believe it or not, our school made the news because an administrator was caught being the person who was pooping on school property! He would go running in the morning and was actually caught in the act!
"Dress Like a Student Day" -- teachers and the administration dressed just like the students did. One teacher's comments and photos earned her a spot in a local news article. (O.D. Wyatt High School)
We gotta learn to stick up for ourselves why should we suffer in silence it's crazy
I’m in Texas. When I was in high school (a student), our assistant girls golf coach bought beer for the varsity team. Once the girls were drunk, he and one of the girls (evidently they had been dating & she thought that they loved each other) went to his hotel room and had sex. I don’t remember how all this was found out, but it was discovered by the time that they returned to school from the tournament. After making bail, the teacher went to our school and hung himself in his classroom. His first period found him the next morning. We had grief counselors at the school for the rest of the year.
My high school all four years I was there. Freshman year was a group of kids stood in front of the school by the flag pole and flipped off the camera it went viral. Sophomore year teacher was arrested for doing coke in the bathroom. Junior year for an assignment we had to create a fake news article and one of the students created one about the football team being on steroids and it went viral and for alittle bit no one could tell if it was real or not. Senior year volleyball coach was fired for having a relationship with a student. There’s a lot more but those are the highlight.
I pull every attachment that I attach to an email...just to be sure. This is a habit I learned before I was teaching...🤣
Detroit born and raised live in Florida now
I love her energy ❤
I have cried in my car. Yeah. I teach in Texas.
Our district (Lodi, WI) has a line on every field trip permission slip where families can pay extra to sponsor students in need. One simple example of the community working together!
The word pronunciation segment was hilarious! 😆😆😆
My school was on the news for fights, a teacher committing a m*rder (not on campus), and a teacher being put on leave for saying the word "boob"
Thats like federal...you can donate your leave for a colleague who is needing sick leave but you can only donate usuing your annual time. Alot have more sick leave hours but because you are paid the sick leave (if/when you leave the job) its my best guess for reasoning behind only being able to donate your annual hrs.
After I graduated my high school went on the news because one of the teachers were doing some thanggsssssssssss they weren’t supposed to (with a student) 😅
In st. George Utah this is a problem. I one day got a email saying school is canceled for the day due to a bat getting in the building. They call animal control and as far as i know they got the bat. What they do after that. 🤷♀️
Lots of bats are tiny, docile, and eat bugs. When they get lost in my house I just open a door and slowly herd them by holding up a sheet so they think I'm a wall. Usually it takes them a while because they're flying too high to locate the door
One of often math teachers was the cross country coach and he was forever doing lunge stretches at us in those itty bitty split-side shorts
Our principal was arrested for smuggling drugs into a prison.
😮😮😮😮😮😮
Depends on which level but there was at least one huge scandal from all my schools at some point elementary to undergrad with college… just let me know which y’all wanna hear 🤣
Heyyy sir I’m from Detroit!!!! But you are also right you have to look depressed to live in the d
My daughter's dorm at The University of Georgia had a bat infestation this year. This definitely made the news!
I wasn’t working there at the time but, the daycare I had been at was in the news becuse somehow a 2 year old child got out and was wandering around the rather busy highway in front of the facility.
After i graduated our school got on the news for cops pepper spraying and shooting student with rubber bullets during a SA peaceful protest after they punished the girl because she “talked to” the guy on the bus.
Wiregrass ranch high school Wesley chapel Florida I went there and I saw like the fattest rat and no one saw it but me and it just walked around the halls and I cried for the rest of the day
Teachers Off Duty + Crying In My Car= 85% Get KC back it’ll =100%
The year before I joined the faculty of my current HS there was a horrific stage collapse accident. Made news all over the place. Took place during a student-produced talent show. Footage is still out there (Rosary High School Stage Collapse)
Shoutout to my hometown, Beaumont, TX!
August 2nd here I come!!!
What?!
You came to Cali, to a city very close to where I live and I missed it!?
Worst news ever
Our district took laptops purchased with grant $ for a specific high need school's enrichment/ intervention program, "reimaged" them and gave them to another school. We ended up scrambling to share with other departments; the other school was 1:1.
Me and Bre went to school in the 90's, Yon...
John Glenn High school as be on the news several times do to the fact that our school was the astronaut and senator John Glenn's home school.
Yeah…uh my school was in the news. Why? Because 2 of my teachers were idiots. 1 was a pedo, and one sexual assisted a student. But this was another good episode love teacher podcasts!
My high school has been on the news. My school had a bomb threat the year before I went there.😳
If 30 teachers split 1million, they MAYBE got 30K after taxes. MAYBE.
Why yall skipping Kansas City? Tis but a stones throw (& an hour + change drive) from Columbia, Mo.
My freshman year of high school. The girls softball coach and one of the female students tried to runaway together to Florida but, got caught because of security cameras in Disney.
