Crying in My Car: A Podcast for Teachers

The Unexpected Twists of the Evolution of Education Jul 09, 2024

Are we being too rough on the new guys?

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they ask the question, what are these older teachers' problems with the new guys? We also have a secret technique that teachers can use to destroy the competition on field day. Finally how did a couple of teachers just get cheated out of 2,000 bucks just because the school board didn't send out an email?

We all hope for a warm reception whenever we start a new job, unfortunately not all veteran teachers are as welcoming to new teachers as others. We’ve had plenty of experience with this, but luckily they're not all bad stories, for every crotchety educator there is an obi wan esque teacher ready to share their lessons and stories. However, it's more funny to talk about the former rather than the latter right?

We all know about field day right? We look forward to it every year, and let us tell you what, those kids aren't ready for the competition. Devin shares a hilarious story on how he used underhanded tactics to sweep the competition. Tune in to find out exactly how he did it and maybe you can use it in your next field day.

Now us teachers don’t get enough credit and sometimes we really need some good news. Well one school district gave a whopping 2,000 dollar bonus to any teachers who returned to their classroom in the fall! Which is awesome news, however they neglected to let anyone know, therefore taking away any initiative to actually come back in the fall. We don't know about you but we feel like writing an email would have been a pretty decent idea to make this initiative work.

Where is the line for sending students home?! Jul 02, 2024

There's no way he can fail all of us… right?

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they ask the question, can teachers fail a whole class? And we can’t help but notice that people who hang out with the principal after work gets special treatment, is that fair? Finally, should we believe kids when they say their sick? Or are they just trying to get out of the spelling test for this week?

We’ve all heard the old excuse of “well they can’t fail all of us”, but according to admin, teachers definitely could. At the end of the day, if everyone is failing, is it actually on the students, or is the teacher not covering material well enough? Do the kids deserve a curve, or do they need to lay in the bed they've made? Tune in to find out what we think!

We feel like we’ve all been in the situation where you find out your boss is actually a pretty cool person, but is it moral to go grab a beer with them after work? I mean yeah sure, when I'm hanging out with our principal I get a better schedule, and smaller classroom sizes, but that's not favoritism right?

Sick students are such a common occurrence in the classroom, but why haven't we gotten a better system for sending them home? Have we learned nothing from the pandemic? Why do we send sick students back into the classroom after visiting the nurse? Is it our job to clean up after a student blows chunks, or should their parents have listened to them when they said they weren’t feeling good?

So grab a bucket and a mop because our teachers might have to clean up a bit of barf on this week's episode of Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers.

They’re giving scholarships to influencers!?

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they consider changing their careers to become pro gamers. Is posting on instagram a real job? Of course it is! And apparently colleges are starting to catch on by giving social media influencers scholarships. They also found out this week that private schools are finally starting to become more obtainable for families in Florida, but is that even a good thing?

You know, when we were kids video games were a lot simpler, but we've come a long way from cheating by picking Bo Jackson in Tecmo bowl. When you think about it, the gaming industry has grown almost enough to be bigger than the movie industry, so why aren't we encouraging students from pursuing a career in pro gaming?

Being an influencer is the newest and best form of marketing today, and people are starting to catch on. They are now apparently giving scholarships to influencers at Western Government University to study how to become a better influencer. Seriously, where was this when we were going to college!?

This week we have some great news for our listeners in Florida! Governor DeSantis passed a new bill that's going to award $8,000 to anyone who wants to put their kids into private schools! This is great news for parents, almost a little too great, what's the catch here? Tune in to find out more!

What did they say about us on the hit show Big Time RV?

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they share their exciting summer plans that may just involve them reprising one of their classic roles. Have you guys heard about the newest controversy over the Olympics being held in Paris? We got the inside scoop and were going to be breaking it down for you today.

So it's about that time, summer is coming up, and we are counting down the days until school is out. We have some big plans, a lot of trips we want to go on, we’re even thinking about reprising our roles from Big Time RV. If you haven't seen Big Time RV, then where have you been? We made an appearance on that show a couple years ago, and it was funny because the editors made some… interesting choices.

Did you know that apparently the Olympics are held at impoverished places on purpose? Well apparently it's being done because of the low cost of hosting it there and despite the billions of dollars being spent on stadiums, there is no money going into the schools to give basic facilities for students. What's being done about this? What can we do? Tune in to find out!

Duck Masters are Paid How Much?! Jun 11, 2024

We Think We’ve Found a New Career path…

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they discover their new found calling as a Duck Master. They’re not the only ones looking to diversify their portfolio, a group of teachers also decided to change careers into making their own coffee company! Our hosts also ramble on about how fun it is to help their favorite charity, St. Jude Children's Hospital.

On a recent trip to Memphis, we saw probably the coolest thing ever, a hotel with a daily duck parade through the lobby and into a fountain! Now while this is probably the most interesting thing to happen in a hotel since getting slimed at the Nickelodeon hotel in the early 2000s, what's even more interesting is the guy in charge of the ducks, who is called the Duck Master. You won’t believe how much this man is paid to parade ducks around a hotel, however with this salary, we can't help but wonder what it would take to become a Duck Master.

We recently found out about a group of teachers in Nebraska who quit teaching to follow their dreams of owning a coffee shop, River Mill Coffee Company. Talk about a real 180 in career path, however it's been met with great success! Hopefully they make their coffee extra strong for their fellow teachers because they know that we need it.

Finally Devin is getting really swole by doing a pushup contest for St. Jude Children's Hospital. All for a great cause of course, St. Jude does so much amazing work he’s happy to help them out. As a long time supporter of St. Jude, it's always fun to help out however we can!

We’re Having a Midlife Crisis… Jun 04, 2024

Lamination day: The teacher's newest unsung holiday.

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they celebrate their new favorite unofficial teacher holiday, lamination day. They will also come to terms with a hard truth, they're getting older, but is that really a bad thing? Finally they reveal the hidden battle that is happening right under our noses, in our school libraries.

We all know how important our laminations are, from posters to dry-erase works sheets, us teachers can't get enough of them. But what do we do when the librarian has a choke hold on the lamination machine? Well that's where lamination day comes into play. It's truly the newest unofficial teachers holiday; and what happens when Devin commits sacrilege by bringing something to be laminated after this day? Tune in to find out!

Let's face the facts, we're getting old… There is nothing that induces a midlife crisis like seeing your previous students with lines under their eyes and receding hairlines. When you last saw them they were struggling with long division, now they’re struggling with taxes. But you know what they say, with age comes wisdom, so we're going to share our wisdom on how we’re navigating these changes.

Did you guys know about the cultural battle that's going on in our libraries? Well apparently there is legislation putting huge restrictions on what kind of books are deemed appropriate to be on their shelves, with the librarians being its first line of defense. So not only do they need to know the dewey decimal system and how to laminate, but now they have to screen every book in their collection!

Taking a test has never been this easy… May 28, 2024

They’re giving new teachers $10,000 just for starting!?

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they reveal the best news student teachers have gotten since the invention of the scantron! Speaking of scantrons, apparently in the modern day of social media and AI, it’s easier than ever to pass your test with flying colors. And finally they break through the red tape of education and finally get their official teaching badge.

How would you like to have 10,000 dollars? Well apparently in Pennsylvania, because of a teacher shortage, they are paying student teachers a minimum 10,000 dollars stipend! Where was that when I was a student teacher?

You know what's more frustrating than going to the DMV? Getting your official teaching badge apparently! In some districts, just to get a plastic badge, you need to fill out a pile of paperwork, take fingerprints, make a blood sacrifice, and give up your left kidney. All for something that could literally be given to you when you walk in for work.

Finally we follow up with the latest Tik Tok trend, how to cheat on an exam. We're officially past the days of writing test answers on your palm, nowadays students share exam answers and essay prompts on social media, and use Chat GPT to write their essays for them! What are teachers doing in response to this? Tune in to find out!

These Teachers are Really Testing my Patience… May 21, 2024

Teachers know exactly what annoying buttons to push!

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they redefine the stereotypical teacher, are they really a tweed-jacket-wearing bookworm, or are they much more? What’s the worst way to spend your morning? The answer is usually having to attend a staff meeting with admin. Finally, don't miss the top best ways to irritate any teacher in 3 seconds!

We all know that sometimes students can get on a teacher's nerves, but what if we told you the people who irritate teachers the easiest are actually other teachers! From bragging about test scores to back-handed compliments, us teachers can really get on eachothers nerves, and we're going to talk about the worse ones!

This week, we’re going to debunk the stereotypes of teachers and dive into what really happens when the bell rings. Some people call teachers lazy and tired, but let us give you a peek behind the curtain and show off that it's simply not true (because we're not lazy at least).

Someone give us a Nobel Prize! We found the cure to insomnia… Our morning staff meetings! There is nothing worse than trying to stay awake in a never ending admin meeting, it truly bores us to tears. These meetings seem to drag on for so long, almost as long as grading papers.

So prepare your game face for the staff meeting, grab your venti iced brown sugar shaken espresso (because you're going to need it) and tune in to this week’s episode of Crying in my Car, a podcast for teachers!

Retire!? Just take a nap… May 14, 2024

Beware of your next PE hockey game turning into a pool noodle fiasco…

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they mentally prepare themselves for the pool noodle war to end all pool noodle wars! Do they have what it takes? Maybe back in 2019. Now, it's anyone’s win.

Can you imagine running into your student in the wild? Our hosts some of the most embarrassing moments of running into “schoolies” - who knew they existed outside those glitter board walls?

We discuss the latest snack-time controversy that's driving students bananas - literally! Can fruit improve focus in students, or is it just a slippery move by administration?

One teacher decided to put a fun spin on the classic game of hockey, by arming his students with pool noodles. This is amazing in theory, but bit him in the butt when one student got his glasses shattered on the gym floor. Either way we think it would be fun to start our own pool noodle hockey league, who will emerge victorious? Tune in to find out!

So strap on your knee pads (or knee brace), keep your pool noodle close, and tune in to this week’s episode of Crying in my Car, a podcast for teachers!

Tipping Our Cap to America’s Hat May 07, 2024

Zero gravity classrooms are the new frontier of teaching…

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they unravel the controversy of teachers hitting the recording studio. Can educators drop bars without dropping standards? With Elon Musk and Spaceforce, teaching in space is just around the corner, so how will zero gravity affect how we teach? Finally Canada is amazing, and our hosts discuss their trip to the great white north.

Some educators have decided to trade lesson plans for lyric sheets, even to the point of putting their students into their music videos! Are these jams purely educational, or are these teachers just looking for background singers? We're going to have a freestyle debate that'll have you nodding your head to the rhythm of education reform.

On top of that, our hosts float a thought-provoking question past us – could zero gravity be the classroom of tomorrow? Would kids be able to stay in their seats? Could you imagine how fun recess would be? And would snack time lead to a crumb covered fiasco? Either way we think living out our childhood dream of being an astronaut would be worth all the messes we’d have to clean up.

We also take a trip up north where we discuss all our favorite things about our neighbors up north - Canada. From poutine to hockey we all know the classic things Canada is famous for, but why is nobody talking about this exchange rate? With it Americans get essentially a 30% discount on anything in Canada, so we were spending money like Rockefeller!

So grab your poutine and tell Houston to cut down on the chatter so you can listen to this week’s episode of Crying in my Car, a podcast for teachers!

Promposals That Cost More Than a Used Car!!! Apr 30, 2024

They told Jesus no sandals allowed at prom…

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon where they take a walk down memory lane and discuss prom – a night of glitz, glamor, and... crippling expenses? From the corsage to the limo, there are so many hidden costs in prom, and they're breaking down some of the craziest ones. They also couldn't help but notice that the dress code for prom is so ridiculous, that even the parents would be dress-coded.

Prom could cost these students a small fortune, you wouldn't believe how high these price tags get! We don't know about you guys, but if our promposal cost as much as a 1999 Toyota Corolla, they would just get a Happy Meal and a ride in our brand new 1999 Toyota Corolla.

By the way - tux rentals, can we get a 2 nights for 1 deal!? We can’t afford to do BOTH prom and graduation with these numbers. Don’t get us started with the ridiculous dress code guidelines. Are students really being celebrated, or are they actually being suppressed by these out-of-date traditions?

So put on your corsage, check your coat at the door, don’t you dare bring your flask and tune in to this week’s episode of Crying in my Car, a podcast for teachers!

Devin slows down and makes us take a hard look at the knuckle dusters sneaking in our hallways — yes, you heard that right — teachers thrown into the ring of actual physical confrontations, sometimes with other teachers! Have an ice pack ready.

We've also got the scoop on a teacher “mixing it up” with a new learning strategy — could your next math class come with a beat? Devin might step back into the classroom just to dust off the old turntables and help our students boost grades - and beat stress with our sick beats. #Bars

Grad Bash Gone Wild! Teachers Beware! Apr 16, 2024

No Fast Passes needed for this ride of teacher stress.....

Welcome back to Crying in my Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they ask if it’s a good idea to date around the teachers lounge, and reminisce about their Grad Bash theme park shenanigans.

Whenever that chaperone signup sheet turns up to go to Universal to celebrate our seniors graduation, GET OUT OF OUR WAY! We are always the first ones to sign up (which is pretty easy when you’re the one printing it out). From riding the Incredible Hulk rollercoaster with no line to the free food (a slight step up from our cafeteria food), we probably look forward to Grad Bash more than the students do.

Speaking of end-of-the-year events.... some teachers take loving the lesson plan to a whole new level. Finding a date to prom is a little bit harder for teachers, so some of them choose to go with each other; so this week we ask - are they looking for love in all the wrong places?

So keep your arms and feet in the vehicle at all times, por favor manténgase alejado de las puertas, and enjoy this emotional rollercoaster on this week’s episode of Crying in my Car, a podcast for teachers.

From finding the quad to how to sign up for the right classes, we explore what it means to get ready for college.

Can teachers survive senioritis? Between early alarms, a lack of interest from students, and demanding admin, it's no wonder that the last stretch takes a lot out of you.

By the way… is school starting too early or are we getting older? It definitely doesn’t align with adolescent science. A snooze button on the morning bell could be the MVP of academia. Asking for a friend….

So get ready to struggle through that senioritis, avoid getting hit by a rogue graduation cap, and tune in to this week’s episode of Crying in my Car, a podcast for teachers.

_________________________________________________________ Crying In My Car Podcast with Devin Siebold: Presented By Bored Teachers

Parental Guidance: How To Handle "Difficult" Parents Sep 26, 2023

This week Devin Siebold and James Yon are crying in their cars over having to deal with difficult parents in schools. Devin discovers Michigan's secret educational weapon: identical teaching twins (double the eyes, double the trouble!) and puzzles over a prodigious 16-year-old Oklahoma teacher with three degrees (Does she even remember a world where Steve Irwin existed?). Meanwhile, a superintendent takes the 'sailing into the sunset' approach amidst a timecard scandal, prompting Devin to ponder the state of her vacation finances.

James delves deep into the parent-teacher dimension, offering sage advice on handling those tricky parent-teacher conferences. Face-to-face? Sounds great, unless it’s at a Chili's happy hour and the reason for the meet-up rhymes with 'your kid makes me drink'. And finding common ground? Let's just say some terrains are a bit rockier than others.

Finally, we dive into parent territory, investigating a mom giving some good ol’ lip service at school and another with TikTok rule fame. From musical dining bans to enforced piano servitude, these rules sound like a mix of a reality show and a parenting guide gone rogue.

So grab those grading pens, because Devin and James are about to take you on a wild ride!

Sick Day Struggles In Education Sep 19, 2023

Brace yourselves, educators! In the latest "Crying In My Car" episode, Devin's back is about as supportive as that 1930s Victorian chair he encountered in a time-warped hotel. Ever seen a TV that pre-dates the remote? Devin has. Amid back pains, we dive into the real hurt: teaching with zero sick days, paying for subs, and the ‘luxury’ of underpaid teacher aids.

James cracks wise about principal paychecks, while Devin wonders: can you really pay someone enough to be a school’s chief stress absorber?

In our 'Teachers in the News', we equate shady school contracts to mobile phone deals (Buyout, anyone?), discuss wardrobe rebellions in Colorado, and touch the touchy subject of DEI classes. James, ever the jester, keeps us laughing.

Got a school tee? Devin wants it. Not to wear with pride, but to gleefully mock. He’s looking at you, sneaky dress-code dodgers.

Wrapping up, hurricanes become a hilarious metaphor for teaching and we debate Florida's dubious teacher "perks". Dive in for a whirlwind of laughs and teacher truths!

Finally, there's the story of the teacher who took "juice break" way too literally which leads to Devin "rapping up" the show by laying down some smooth verses with his own rendition of “Gin and Juice”.

Picture us, chilling, sippin’ on TEACHER JUICE, crying in our cars, and keeping it oh-so..... LAID BACK

Buckle Up!

The Two Teacher Trap Aug 29, 2023

Listen to this podcast: https://bit.ly/ListenCIMC

Education enthusiasts, Devin and James, back on the mics, and we've got a treat for you! Ever feel like the supply closet in your classroom is just a sad metaphor for your bank account? Well, you're not alone. Turns out 94% of our American teaching comrades are swiping their own cards to fill those shelves. But worry not! Devin's on a mission, one fundraiser at a time, to transform that “empty shelf” frown upside-down!

Speaking of fundraisers, we've got tales of teachers – from the heroic to the downright hilarious. Ever heard of a teacher championing not one, not two, but 23 different online campaigns? No? Well, buckle up! And, psst... (whisper) they made the national news!

Speaking of making the news, let's talk teachers in the news as "Double the Teacher, Double the Fun!" became a Dayton Public Schools' mantra with their groundbreaking two-teacher-per-room setup. Spoiler alert: it was a hit! Until...well, the budget said, "Thank you, next!" Ah, the classic two-teacher trap.

Cheaters never prosper, especially not when they tangle with teachers. We've got a story that will make you gasp... or laugh... probably both! And, oh boy, Broward County, FL is cooking up something spicy with a vow to sprinkle some big bucks on their teachers' paychecks. But wait, there's a catch! Devin and James dive deep into the intricacies of tenure, seniority, and the influential impact of our veteran teaching stars!

While James suns himself on vacation (jealous, who? Us?), he's got a veteran parent story that's bound to tickle your funny bone. And speaking of vacations, Devin gets real about the true meaning of a teacher's "staycation."

Just before we sign off, have you ever dreamt of a vacation without any kids? Yeah, we thought so. Enter: The Virgin Cruise Line, with a whopping SPF rating of 50 (Student Protection Factor, of course). Major props to Laura Poe for shining the spotlight on this absolute gem!

Join us for all this and more on the "Crying In My Car" and make sure to bring your laughter, tissues, and maybe even a classroom supply list!

All The Magical Wonders of Teaching Aug 22, 2023

Join us this week as Devin Siebold and James Yon unpack "All the Magical Wonders of Teaching". Trust us, there's more magic in the classroom than in a Harry Potter's book bag!

We get some wild comments we get from teachers on the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour. Let’s just say, they give us a run for our comedic money. Devin chats about the comedy tour and touches upon the sizzling sidewalks of Las Vegas and the refreshing vibes from teachers sprinkled all along the west coast.

Gear up for your favorite segment: Teachers in the News as we dive deep into tales of La Jolla's musical rescue mission, an incredibly heartwarming kidney donation (tissues at the ready), and the passionate debate around the book "Growing Up Black In America" (James offers some much-needed perspective on racial issues in schools).

Have you ever thought about being paid based on test scores? Houston's on it, and let's just say, we have thoughts. And speaking of money, what's up with the vanishing paychecks in Mobile, Alabama? Find out in our closing story for the segment.

We wrap things up with a humorous glance at our desert-teaching fiends. Teaching amidst cacti and scorpions is hard work, but maybe there's an off chance YOU could stumble across a magic lamp that will bring the magical wonders of teaching to life?

To close things out, Devin's got the top ten signs that you might just be, in fact teaching in the desert. So, pull up a sandy seat, stay hydrated, and let us take you on a laughter-filled journey that’s hotter than a school's broken A/C in mid-July!

Going All In As A Teacher Aug 15, 2023

Devin Siebold, and the ever-entertaining James Yon are jumping into the world of teaching and beyond. First up, ever thought about a career change? Let us pitch to you the unmatched joys of teaching. Job security? Check. Wild tales from the cafeteria trenches? Double check. (I mean, who knew lunch ladies had beef with adults over kid-sized portions?)

Speaking of pleasantries, gather 'round as we wax poetic about the saints of the school hallways. Yep, those eternally optimistic, apple-for-the-teacher-giving sweethearts. Hint: They’re not just in fairytales.

In our sizzling Teachers in the News segment, we chew on the tale of a heroic educator who gobbled down 50 hot dogs at the national hotdog eating contest. Joey Chestnut, watch your back! Plus, there's a bit of a pickle over in San Francisco – teachers are itching for a pay bump, but the city's coffers are feeling the pinch.

Fresh from his Compton sojourn, Devin is dishing on everything from street cred to classroom inspo. And speaking of things that need a little inspo, let's talk Congress. They're great at pointing out education issues – actually fixing them? Not so much. As we parody political speeches, remember: we laugh to keep from crying.

And for our grand finale, ever wondered what's on Devin's watchlist while on a casino hotel treadmill? (No? Too bad.) In its place, Devin gives us his top ten teacher-approved gambling tips. Just remember: always bet on education (and maybe the occasional blackjack).

Buckle up, listeners! Class is in session.

It's A Sad Teacher Summer Out There Aug 08, 2023

Grab a box of tissues (and maybe a tub of ice cream) as we ride the rollercoaster of emotions on this episode of Crying In My Car with your teary-eyed hosts, Devin Sieold and James Yon.

It's a Sad Teacher Summer out there and starting us off, we dissect a teacher's journey of weight loss. Between structure, plans, and having unfettered access to that ever-tempting teacher's lounge vending machine, we find ourselves deep in the heart of snack dilemmas.

Then we delve into a lesser-discussed struggle: teachers trying to find purpose during summer. Ah, yes, that confusing 'vacation' that leaves us teachers feeling like a mime in an invisible box. We wish more educators would shine a light on this seasonal affliction.

Up next, our 'Teachers in the News' segment has us crying into our morning coffee (and it's not just because we're out of creamer). Is Tennessee putting up barriers for teachers' union dues? Oh, the drama! There's a company in Virginia treading the digital waters, attempting to fill the teacher shortage with online training platforms.

And what's with summer reading lists for educators bypassing gender issues in the classroom? Do we need to pull out the 'diversity and inclusion' flashcards again? But the real tearjerker: an innocent substitute teacher in India becomes the victim of a manipulated audio recording. Brace yourselves, this one's a doozy.

And just when you thought we were done, we plunge down the Reddit rabbit hole, revisiting a thread about teacher tenure and contracts. Ever wondered what tenured teachers get away with? Well, you're about to find out.

So buckle in, folks. This episode promises to be as emotionally tumultuous as grading a stack of essays the night before report cards are due. Remember, we're in this together - let's share the laughter, the tears, and maybe a few off-brand snacks along the way.

Devin brings us back to his college days, sharing his wisdom and a few head-scratching social realizations. James, on the other hand, is ready to play professor, offering advice on navigating college life and the fine art of networking.

In our Teachers in the News segment, we're cheering on a school rallying to support a teacher battling bone cancer, while Devin shares some of his frustrations around the lack of adequate support for cancer patients.

We explore the surprising measures some school districts are taking to address staff shortages, along with a couple of truly mind-boggling teacher firings. Not showing up for work for two decades? Bikini pics leading to an OnlyFans scandal? You can't make this stuff up!

Across the pond, UK teachers are at the end of their tether and ready to strike. Talk about a British invasion of a different kind.

Finally, we close the show with a joyous twist. Ever been to a teacher's wedding? Devin gives you the inside scoop on how to spot one with his hilariously on-point checklist.

First off, Devin spills the beans about a platform that lets enthusiasts teach their passion to eager learners online. And to our Civil War-obsessed history teachers - come on, there's more to history than General Lee and Abe Lincoln!

In everyone's favorite Teachers in the News segment, we uncover a golden opportunity for teachers to earn a free Master's degree in English Language Learning, we celebrate a three-time cancer-surviving former teacher turned equestrian champ, we grapple with a Georgia teacher’s firing over a gender identity book, and discuss a parent who took the anti-bullying message a little too far.

Expect a heated debate over an email James shares, sent from a distraught parent to their child's teacher upon learning about their failing grades. Is this the time for a helicopter parenting discussion? James says, "YES"!

Lastly, parents, brace yourselves: James is coming at you with his list of the Top-Ten Most Difficult Types of Parents to Deal With in a School Setting. We promise it's all in good fun (mostly).

Then, we plunge headfirst into our Teachers in the News segment, discussing topics that might make your jaw drop or fist clench: a teacher standing against bullying and racism in their own district, antisemitic harassment facing decisive action, a Florida teacher who clearly misunderstood the concept of diversity training, and Oklahoma rolling out the red carpet (and cash) for experienced teachers.

Our highlight story of the week? A Milwaukee teacher who gets to live out her (and our) dream on The Price Is Right. Now that’s a lesson plan we all want a part of!

The Truth About Unhealthy School Lunches Jul 11, 2023

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, where your favorite comedic educator, Devin Siebold, and resident parent James Yon, tackle a subject close to our hearts, our stomachs, and our school cafeterias - "The Truth About Unhealthy School Lunches."

To kick things off, James tells all about his fresh off-the-stage experience performing for a crowd of teachers and a whole lot of love on the Teachers Do Standup Comedy Tour. A

Meanwhile, Devin makes the ultimate sacrifice in the name of comedy. With a throbbing toothache and a sudden appointment with the Tooth Fairy (also known as an oral surgeon), he gets his wisdom tooth pulled before stepping on stage.

We're not just about the laughs though. Devin starts getting serious - about salads. After shedding 18 pounds, he’s now leading the charge for healthier choices in our Weight Loss Group. And James? He's here to make sure that the journey from fries to fiber is as fun as possible.

In our hot-from-the-blackboard Teachers in the News segment: a teacher takes a hard stand against unhealthy lunches, the University of Harvard welcomes an AI professor, a memorial scholarship makes a major financial impact, Las Vegas hires a data research firm to investigate the mystery of teacher vacancies, and a student makes a rather painful discovery about the perils of DIY motorcycling.

Then James takes us on a deep dive into the politics of school boards and the role of parents in learning beyond the classroom. Spoiler alert: It’s a bit of a drama fest.

Finally, we navigate the virtual maze of social media and its impacts on teacher self-esteem. (Pro-tip: No, that Instagram-filtered, color-coordinated, Pinterest-perfect classroom is not the norm!)

So buckle up and get ready to chow down on a hearty serving of comedy, insight, and just a dash of wisdom (tooth not included).

Here's to laughing until we cry...in our car!

Then we dive into the murky waters of the Atlanta school system, where rules are bent, second chances given, and grades become as flexible as a gymnast. Devin opens his personal vault of memories, reminiscing about an ex who mastered the art of finessing grades in nursing school.

Parent Teacher Workout Routine Jun 20, 2023

Brace yourselves! This episode of Crying In My Car is bursting with laughter, insight, and the sort of sweat that only a good 'teacher workout' can give you! It all starts when we jump into a discussion about the influence of social media on education.

Then we dive into a project where kids learn about WWII via Instagram. Who knew history could be so 'grammable, right? Then, we slide into the touchy topic of charter schools.

We share a heartwarming tale of a teacher helping a disabled student run a marathon - proving once again that PE teachers aren't just about dodgeball. And things get more than awkward with Teachers In The News as we delve into a class defense of a student getting suspended for...wait for it...recording a teacher dropping a not so suitable for class word. Yikes!

But let's not forget leave out the 'graphic' sex-ed book an Illinois teacher introduced. You'll laugh, you'll cringe, you'll question your own high school health class intention.

As alwqys teachers are back in the headlines, starting with a Connecticut job fair, and a teacher that caught students drawing swastikas responding with a rather drastic solution. Meanwhile, another teacher has been hiding students' gender identities from their parents. We cover a cigarette company offering men three months off for maternity leave, and a hot debate ensues over a teacher showing a film featuring a gay couple.

The Ten Commandments of Teaching with Dr. Keri Whaley May 23, 2023

Devin Siebold and James Yon welcome the multifaceted powerhouse Dr. Keri Whaley to the latest episode of the Crying In My Car podcast! Keri, a college professor, comedian, and writer with a knack for media, entertainment, and film, comes armed with tales that could only emerge from the chaotic convergence of comedy and academia.

Find out how a screenplay born from a joke has landed Keri a spot in the Rhino Comedy Shorts Film Festival in New York. She dives into the age-old teacher mantra, "If you give a student an inch, they'll take a mile," and how it, unfortunately, has driven many an educator to consider a cocktail (or two).

Keri gives us her candid and hilarious insight into the transition from teaching high school to navigating the more 'mature' minds of college kids. Spoiler alert: the importance of maintaining a hardass attitude with college students is paramount! She also dishes on the nuances of being close in age to her students and also the (sometimes) glorious differences in schedule.

Our 'Teachers in the News' segment covers the feel-good tale of a Florida teacher crowned the “chalkboard champion,” and the unflagging determination of a 91-year-old teacher who flat-out refuses to retire after 63 years. But not all news is good news, as we find out about the transphobic vandalism of a parent's truck and the curious bill passed in Texas mandating the display of the Ten Commandments in every classroom.

To counter this rather perplexing law, Devin shares his own hysterical rendition of the Ten Commandments – but designed exclusively for teachers! You'll be wiping away tears of laughter before he gets to Commandment Three. Promise.

Tune in and buckle up for a belly laugh-filled ride through the rollercoaster that is the life of a teacher!

Teacher Appreciation, Lies, and the Gimmicks that Got Them Fired May 16, 2023

Devin Siebold and James Yon are back again, this time to tackle everything from school safety to pronouns, all while shedding light on the need for genuine teacher appreciation.

We kick off the podcast with a serious discussion about school safety, sparked by a story about a concerned New York educator. Devin shares his personal experiences with the ever-evolving landscape of school safety, and the immense responsibility teachers bear for their students.

From there, we dive into a flurry of headline-grabbing teacher stories from around the globe in Teachers in the News. We discuss a UK teacher's dismissal over misused pronouns, a missing student mysteriously harbored by their teacher for over two years, and the questionable curriculum and lunch menu at Kanye West’s Donda Academy.

But it's not all scandals and shockers! We also highlight a teacher's innovative fundraising through recycling for a Tanzanian school and the tale of a kindergarten teacher whose influence inspired a student to become an incredibly talented painter.

As the show winds down, we take a moment to reflect on our own inspirational teachers and the profound impact they had on our lives. With James reeling off a heartfelt list of thank-yous and a special shout-out to Mr. Connors, this episode becomes a celebration of teachers everywhere.

So buckle up for a rollercoaster of emotions in this episode of the Crying In My Car podcast. You'll laugh, you'll gasp, and most importantly, you'll appreciate teachers a little more by the end. Don't miss it!

What's the Deal with Teachers Taking Our Phones? May 09, 2023

Crying In My Car is back this week to tackle the burning question: are school days too long? While some argue for an 8-hour day type of day, Devin and James think we're focusing too much on academics and neglecting social and life skills. Bring back the trades and teach kids how to interact with others, PLEASE!

In this week's "Teachers in the News" segment, we cover a stress relief questionnaire addressing burnout and anxiety among teachers and students, a substitute teacher who confiscated a student's cellphone only to face a physical altercation (with no disciplinary action taken!), and a Florida teacher showing a video celebrating Confederate History Month (classic Florida).

On top of all that, Devin has discovered a Reddit thread of all the funniest things students have said and done in class that teachers couldn't laugh in the moment – but trust us, they're all completely hilarious!

Finally, Devin shares a wild story about spoiling his kids, which ends in an outrageous birthday gift request. And to wrap things up, we dive into our most hilarious stories about watching movies with graphic content in school.

Get ready for a rollercoaster ride of comedy, controversy, and life lessons in this unforgettable episode of Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers!

In this laugh-out-loud episode of Crying In My Car, Devin Siebold and James Yon explore the wild side of school life! We things off with a discussion on partying teachers versus pure teachers – you'll be shocked to learn their reactions to adult-rated comedy routines.

Devin and James take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about field trips from the past (hint: they used to be way cooler). From the thrill of Dippin' Dots at the Kennedy Space Center to the horror of falling into a city lake, these two have experienced it all! Would you pay $30 for an hour at the zoo? Can't say we would.

Teachers are always making headlines, and this week is no exception. From an inappropriate relationship between a student and teacher to the banning of Dolly Parton songs in schools, there's no shortage of drama. But there's also good news: a massive base-pay raise for teachers in Oregon and, well, not-so-good news: there are still a ton of open teacher positions in Florida with DeSantis taking the blame. We break it all down for you.

And for the main event: a middle school substitute teacher creates and facilitates an in-class fight club, complete with students forming a circle and throwing hands. Devin outlines the hilarious rules for Student Fight Club and relives his days as an enforcer.
