Well, this week on Teachers Off Duty our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Bri Richardson, and Jess Smith have a chat about the rules that they don't have to follow at school.  As teachers, we are entitled to a couple privileges, and were not just talking about free coffee in the teacher's lounge. We're talking about the rules that just don't apply to us, such as being able to check our phones in class, or taking a bit of a long bathroom break. At the end of the day teaching does have its privileges, or should these double standards be actually enforced? Tune in as we share our thoughts! While on paper it seems pretty cut and dry, we should all follow the same rules, teachers have quite a bit to deal with when it comes to the chaos of the classroom. Us teachers try to play it cool, but we all know that the overstimulation that can come with teaching can become extremely mentally taxing; so maybe teachers taking an extra ten minutes on their bathroom break is the least of our problems.    Jump right to it! 2:34 - Teacher Tardiness Tales 9:15 - Classroom Confessions 16:42 - After-Hours Teacher Antics 24:58 - Rule-Breaking Revelations 33:11 - Staff Meeting Secrets 39:47 - Debate: Classroom Chaos So don’t listen to podcasts while in the classroom because we do think that's against the rules… But if you do, make sure it's this week's episode of Teachers Off Duty. _________________________________________________ Teachers Off Duty - a Bored Teachers podcast

Our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Bri Richardson, and Jess Smith are about to spill the tea on some of the funniest stories from the most bizarre staff meetings they've attended on this week's episode of Teachers Off Duty.

This week our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Leslie Rob, and Tyler Jackowski spill the tea, and share their wildest classroom drama stories! We all know how dramatic our students can be, and it's been like that for years, however unlike previous generations, they now have a platform to share their drama right in the palm of their hands. With the high availability of social media and technology, drama in school has been heavily amplified, and almost impossible to escape. While students used to be able to break up with their school sweetheart, and only have her immediate friends talk about them, now kids are dealing with the entire school knowing every detail of a potentially messy breakup. So with all that being said, how do us teachers deal with all this drama? Tune in to find out! Nowadays, most of our social life has found itself on the internet, which is great for keeping up with long distance friends or sharing cat memes with your mother, but with all these positives there's always the flip side to it. We're talking about online bullying, and as social media influencers, we’ve dealt with our fair share of haters, and this week we're going to be sharing not only our negative experiences with people on the internet, but also how we've been able to deal with online negativity.   Finally, we wrap up with a discussion on how drama spreads quickly on social media, and how it often leads to unintended consequences. We share our personal experiences of social media drama in the classroom, but most importantly we emphasize the importance of maintaining a positive and supportive community both online and in real life.   Jump right to it! 6:54 - Student Drama in the Classroom 13:12 - Middle School Relationships and Breakups 21:10 - Promise Rings and Teenage Love 23:33 - April Fool's Laxative Prank 25:30 - Teacher Relationships and Drama 31:30 - Social Media's Impact on Student Drama 38:42 - Bullying and Positivity in Social Media   So tell your friends because we just posted some spicy drama on this week's episode of Teachers Off Duty.

    The Most Ridiculous Teacher Dress Codes You’ll Ever Hear!

    Can wearing all black really make you a criminal? Some schools seem to think so! Can wearing all black really make you a criminal? Some schools seem to think so!

This week our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Leslie Rob, and Tyler Jackowski share their most bizarre dress code stories! We start off by covering some of the weirdest dress code rules we’ve encountered, from prohibitions on wearing tennis shoes without a doctor's note, to restrictions on the number of toes that can be shown, and even policies that prevent teachers from changing their hairstyles throughout the school year, we've seen it all. Even though we don't think about it, how we dress impacts our lives in major ways, but not only for our students though… Now when we talk about dress codes normally it’s pertaining to our students, but today we are going to be going into some dress codes for teachers! Apparently at some schools teachers are required to wear three-piece pantsuits; and we debate on whether professionality comes before the impracticality and financial burden that this outfit would put on its teachers. We also touch on the broader implications of these rules, such as the negative effects on teacher morale and the potential for dress codes to enforce outdated or discriminatory standards. Jump right to it! 2:32 - Dress Codes and First Impressions 6:36 - Spirit Week and Costume Fun 11:08 - Ridiculous Rules: No Tennis Shoes 15:06 - Footwear Frustrations and Ankle Rules 29:15 - Denim Drama: No Jeans Allowed 41:08 - Male Jewelry Ban and Expression Restrictions 47:21 - The Black Clothing Ban and Mental Health Misconceptions   So put on your best three piece suit, because teachers are getting dress coded on this week's episode of Teachers Off Duty.
