_________________________________

In this episode of Teachers Off Duty, it's just Breezy (aka Honest Teacher Vibes) and Tyler (aka Fishing for Clout… or T-Teezy?) holding it down—and things get juicy. We're diving deep into the chaos and comedy of what we were like as *students* versus how we are now as teachers.

Spoiler alert: not much has changed. From ADHD revelations and hilarious classroom flashbacks to why today's kids really aren't all that different, we're getting real about what it means to teach kids who remind us a little too much of ourselves. We also talk about how the education system can make or break a teacher, the power of empathy in the classroom, and why some admin need to just chill. PLUS: comedy tour updates, chaotic travel stories, and Bri getting *very* real about kids who tap their feet too much. This episode is equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and 100% relatable for anyone who's ever sat in—or stood at the front of—a classroom. Follow us on social and tag a teacher who needs to hear this one!

In this hilarious and painfully relatable episode of Teachers Off Duty, Devin, Leslie, and Jess dive into all the unexpected, bizarre, and downright wild things they NEVER thought they'd do as teachers—but somehow did. From rationing paper like it's gold, hiding during fire drills, to bathroom duty patrols (because vapes are the new contraband), they cover it all. They also talk about the strange realities of being younger than some parents, the emotional rollercoaster of classroom dynamics, and the constant battle between wanting to be the "cool teacher" and just surviving the school day. Oh, and yes, they discuss the great debate: rows vs. the U-shape desk arrangement—because, apparently, that's a thing. Plus, find out which of them hides during fire drills, who had a secret career as a janitor, and why seating charts are the ultimate form of teacher survival. Listen now and let us know in the comments: What's one thing you never thought you'd do as a teacher… but did anyway?

It's that time of year again—Valentine's Day! And in the world of teachers, that means major school drama. From over-the-top teddy bears to secret admirer mix-ups and students playing matchmaker (for their teachers 👀), we're unpacking all the Valentine's chaos that goes down in schools.

In this hilarious episode, Leslie, Devin, and Jess share their own cringeworthy Valentine's experiences, debate whether school flower deliveries are actually romantic (or just a flex), and reveal the ultimate last-minute (terrible) gift ideas.

And if you thought student Valentine's drama was wild, wait until you hear about the teacher love scandals happening in the hallways. From students trying to set up their single teachers to accidental workplace flirtations, we're spilling all the tea.

Plus, Devin finally reveals his tragic history of Valentine's gifts (spoiler: it involves a Guns N' Roses CD and lifelong regret).

Plus, Devin might just have a revolutionary (or super cheap) approach to celebrating Valentine's Day. 🤣 So grab some chocolates (or a clearance sale box the day after), and get ready to laugh with us on Teachers Off Duty!

Teachers, we know your time is precious—so why do so many things in education seem designed to waste it? In this episode, we're diving into the everyday tasks that make us question our sanity. From writing objectives on the board that no one reads, to responding to parent emails asking for information they already have, to the never-ending battle with jammed copy machines—we're saying what every teacher is thinking.

Join hosts Jess Smith , Leslie Rob and Jared Lamb as they vent, laugh, and keep it real about the time-sucking struggles of education. We tackle the absurdity of mandatory newsletters that parents ignore, school-wide announcements that no one understands, and the dreaded moment when you're asked to cover a class during your precious prep. And don't even get us started on tracking student bathroom visits!

Plus, we chatted about how teachers can reclaim some of their lost time, and Jared shared how he eliminated intercom announcements at his school (is he a genius or a rebel?). And of course, no Teachers Off Duty episode would be complete without some hilarious confessions—like which of us may or may not have walked away from a jammed copier without fixing it. (No judgment… okay, maybe a little.)

Tune in, laugh with us, and remember: you're not alone in the struggle!
