About this episode
Dive into the less glamorous side of teaching with the latest episode of Teachers Off Duty featuring Lauran, Tell, Bri, and Gabe. Our panel of educators holds nothing back as they share their pet peeves, the "things teachers hate", in an episode filled with candid stories and laughter. From Gabe's tale of a student's unwavering determination despite a mid-conversation throw-up, to Tell's frustrations with messy fruit cups and juice pouches, we explore the sticky situations that educators navigate daily. Listen to Bri's smelly encounter involving her students and a disastrous mix of fragrances. Join Gabe as he passionately vents about the unpredictable school/classroom thermostats, and feel the heat in Bri's 85-degree classroom. Our hosts also delve into the trials of school funding, bizarre meeting questions, and the controversial use of clip charts. Discover why Tell is adamant against schools discouraging the use of the word "no" with students, and enjoy Gabe's hilarious take on students cheating on Blooket. From the perils of idolizing social media teachers to navigating teacher relationships and inappropriate discussions about students, our hosts share their "icks" in teaching. They also cover topics like the elitism that comes with honors and AP classes and read out 'icks' submitted by social media followers. But it's not all about icks. Amidst all the laughs and rants, the podcast takes a turn towards positivity as the team wraps up by highlighting some of their non-icks – the things about teaching they genuinely love. In this episode, Teachers Off Duty offers a humorous and honest portrayal of the unique challenges faced by educators.
