Summary
This week on Teachers Off Duty Podcast, Bri, Albraden, and Anna dive into the craziest school rules we've ever seen. From students walking two-by-two in silence, to strict cell phone bans, to schools that won't even allow teachers to wear nail polish—nothing is off the table.
We're swapping wild stories, laughing through the madness, and shining a light on the ridiculous expectations placed on teachers and students. Plus, we talk about the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and across the U.S.—and why comedy and community are keeping us all sane in this profession.
If you're a teacher who's ever thought, "Is this rule even real?" you'll feel right at home with us. Grab your coffee (caffeinated or not, depending on your school rules), hit play, and join the conversation.
