"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.

Who are the parent-teacher conferences even for!? Welcome back to Teachers Off Duty!  Join our hosts Mark Schumacher, KC Mack, and HonestTeacherVibes herself, Bri Richardson as they hold nothing back and spill the teacher tea of the drama that unfolds when overzealous parents meet questionable school policies. Could you believe a parent would actually sneak around and go through another students’ files? They just wanted to know what other students scores were so they knew their son’s “ranking”. Sure... That's tame compared to one parent who's child was serving an in-school suspension for having told his teacher to "[retracted]". His mother punished him by bringing him a Subway sandwich, cookies, and soda at lunch. It's not all ridiculous or infuriating. Just last week, a parent snuck a bottle of wine in with their child as a gift to their teacher. While we REALLY appreciate the gesture, we're not sure if this is the best way to say "thank you."  Can you guess in what state a parent would trade four wheels for four legs at the school pick-up? It was surely a sight to see and gives new meaning to ‘horsing around’ after the bell. Gallop, don't walk! This week's episode of Teacher's Off Duty will infuriate you, humble you, and probably having you feel better at your next parent-teacher conference. ---------- Thank you to our sponsors for these teacher perks: Zocdoc | Go to Zocdoc.com/Teachers and download the Zocdoc app for FREE.

I can’t believe they let that slide 10 years ago! Devin Siebold, KC Mack, and Bri Richardson are back at it again as they take us on a throwback to the olden days, comparing the things teachers could get away with back then compared to now! We've got a crazy classroom birthday tradition for you, where KC dishes out a story about a teacher who would do birthday spankings to their students on their birthdays.  If you think that wasn’t wacky enough, wait till you hear about the time where a teacher would punish students for chewing gum in class by placing it on their nose throughout the entire remainder of the class. Not gross enough? You asked for it… The trio dives into a dental operation ongoing in class where a 1st grade teacher helps a kid with a loose tooth by tying it with a string and yanking it out with the doorknob! There’s plenty more where that came from, so tap that play button and join us while we cringe, laugh, and reminisce on the crazy things teachers did back in the day! -- This episode is brought to you by: Wildgrain | Get $30 off your first box, plus free croissants in every box, when you go to Wildgrain.com/Teachers to start your subscription.

Sorry, this playground wedding is overbooked! Welcome back to Teachers Off Duty! This week Devin Siebold joins KC Mack and HonestTeacherVibes herself Bri Richardson to share some of the most RIDICULOUS and hilarious relationship "tea" from their time in the classroom. You're in for a ride.... KC recounts a love letter passed in class that praised "thick, not fat" thighs then the aftermath of rejection (and the effect on their grades) "Heartbreak ate my homework!" Remember that one time that Devin wrote a blog about WWE that stirred up some pretty wild drama with his teacher colleagues? If not, he'll distract you with a story about a student who went the extra mile, not for their homework, but for love by juggling multiple valentines. Your favorite part might just be HonestTeacherVibe’s hot take on the impact that social media has on our students these days and how it could lead into some unnecessary classroom drama.
