It’s the end of the school year and chaos is in full swing! In this hilarious and heartwarming episode of Teachers Off Duty, Bri is back and joined by fellow educators Anna and Lauren for a ladies’ night full of laughs, laser tag stories, and a whole lot of teacher real talk.

From being physically and emotionally overstimulated to getting roasted by their own students (“lemon pepper steppers,” anyone?), the teacher trio shares what it really feels like to crawl toward summer break. They spill on classroom observations, field day injuries, kindergarten finger paintings, and the surprisingly emotional goodbye that happens every single year.

Plus, we talk about the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour, our favorite spirit week moments, and what it's like when your own kid attends your school. Whether you’re a fellow educator, a parent, or just nosy about the behind-the-scenes madness of the classroom, this episode is for you. Tune in and commiserate, celebrate, and laugh your way to the end of the school year with us!
