Summary
This week on Teachers Off Duty, the crew is back with another laugh-out-loud, brutally honest conversation that every educator will relate to.
Bri is joined again by Tyler and the amazing Shelby for a chaotic and hilarious deep dive into teacher lounge drama, microwave fish wars, and the real reason some administrators should've stayed in the classroom. From sticky notes calling out bathroom offenders to the emotional toll of pretending you're "fine" at school when you're really not—this episode has it all.
The trio also shares wild stories from their teaching days, debate what makes a good principal, and celebrate the teachers who actually make education feel human again.
If you've ever needed a reason to laugh through your "Sunday Scaries," this one's for you.
