Then the crew dives into the topic every educator has witnessed, feared, or had to respond to at least once: student fights. From the eerie quiet right before it pops off, to the hallway "school of fish" swarm that tells you something is about to go down, to why breaking up fights is a lose-lose situation for teachers who have zero training but all the liability. They share stories from middle school to high school, the difference between "windmill fighting" and real damage, and the wild reality of parents asking, "Did my kid win?" And just when you think it can't get more ridiculous, Albraden tells the story of a preschool "gang" (yes, really) called the Knee-High Killers and the moment he realized they were trying to jump a kid in at recess. The episode wraps with a real conversation about emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and how phones, texts, and social media have changed the way students handle tension (and how teachers are left managing the fallout).

From bathroom duty, hallway duty, and bus duty to tracking who vaped, who signed in, and whose parents forgot pick-up again, the crew unpacks all the wild responsibilities teachers are handed with zero warning. And of course, they sprinkle in the comedy, the storytelling, and the unfiltered truth that keeps this community feeling seen and understood. The trio also dives deep into the comedy tour life — the cities they keep mispronouncing, the teacher homies who pregame a little too hard, the earring mishap mid-set, and how performing on stage has pushed them outside their comfort zones. They talk about confidence, introverted moments, the intensity of outdoor shows, and the supportive admins who make both teaching and touring possible. The conversation moves from chaotic classrooms to chaotic comedy clubs, reminding everyone why teacher humor is unmatched. Along the way, they break down the impossible tasks teachers are asked to do, from disciplining kids during planning periods to handling medical issues, potty accidents, curriculum changes, and parent phone calls long after contract hours end. Whether you teach kindergarten or high school, ride a bus or run a classroom, this episode will have you laughing, nodding, and saying, "No other job expects this from us."

From resetting expectations to building routines that stick, they share real examples from their own classrooms — including PTO systems, class economies, workplace models, and the small changes that make a big difference. The conversation gets honest about the challenges teachers are facing right now: inconsistency, shifting behaviors, emotional exhaustion, and how hard it is to teach when your tried-and-true methods suddenly stop working. They unpack what it means to remove emotion, stay consistent, and set clear boundaries, all while laugh-crying through stories about messy desks, hallway chaos, and one truly iconic water-spill wardrobe change. Whether you teach kindergarten or high school, this episode gives you practical tools, new ideas, and the reassurance that you are not the only one feeling the shift this year.

From the nonstop chaos of the school day to the whirlwind of the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour, they unpack what burnout really feels like when you're teaching all day and still carrying the job home in your head and heart. They share personal stories about student behavior, wild sub situations, safety scares, grading marathons, and the invisible mental load teachers carry while trying to stay "on" for their kids. The conversation highlights how teachers are expected to be entertainers, counselors, and classroom managers while running on empty and still worrying about their students' lives outside of school. The crew also reflects on school safety, teacher pay, and the emotional toll of always being on high alert, especially in a world where teachers are too often dismissed when they speak up. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or unseen as an educator, this episode will make you feel understood, remind you you're not alone, and give you a chance to laugh through the chaos with people who truly get it.   Listen now & don't forget to subscribe!    Follow your hosts:  Briana Richardson @HonestTeacherVibes  Anna Kowal @ReadAwayWithMissK  Jessica Hawk @MyTeacherFace Follow us on all platforms @TeachersOffDutyPodcast _________________________________ Teachers Off Duty - A Bored Teachers©️ Podcast To advertise on the show, contact [email protected] or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/TeachersOffDuty
