This week on Teachers Off Duty, it’s a full-blown bestie brunch with the girls Bri, Anna and Lauren bringing all the laughs, side-eyes, and sarcastic comebacks that only teachers truly understand. From the chaos of hallway door-slapping middle schoolers to the hilarious passive-aggressive strategies we all secretly use in the classroom, this episode is a wild ride through the everyday moments that make teaching unpredictable and hilarious.

The trio dives deep into their favorite sarcasm-laced classroom tactics, the unexpected honesty of kindergartners, and the struggles of dealing with outdated clocks, cursive confusion, and the awkward truths about student relationships and classroom management.

Plus, they drop updates on the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour, new international show locations, and how your school can book private shows or keynotes with your favorite teacher comedians. Whether you’re a veteran teacher or new to the game, this episode is a much-needed reminder that laughter is part of the lesson plan.
