Spring Break For Teachers!

[@abbycheung7615]

Love watching this podcast!! I’m a student but I love learning from the teachers’ perspective :).

[@moscorner9419]

Same here

Same with me!

You should talk about student fights and what to do. One of our favorite long term subs was fired due to not breaking up a fight fast enough according to the school. Keep in mind he is 75 and is recovering from cancer.

[@kaylamclaughlin7818]

Aw man that’s awful. What did they expect from him? Poor guy

Bro what

Damn that's cold

[@MDev1997]

As someone who had a Karen mother (the type who'd yell at clothing store employees just for putting her receipt in her bag without asking), I DEFINITELY knew and starting at the age of 8, just went around apologizing for her behavior to whoever she screamed at

[@alydanrob8082]

My mom isn't exactly a Karen but everytime we're in a store passing someone looking at the aisle and we're going between that person and the aisle they're looking at, I'm always the one to say "exuse us" my mom never does...

[@ally1538]

That was me as a kid too!! My mother is beyond Karen on the rude levels, and I always felt so bad and wanted to apologize to everyone on her behalf!!

[@__roseinthemiddle__]

Ugh, that sounds like my mother too. Worst part is, her name is actually Karen 😂🤣💀

[@AmazingMelodiesYouTube]

How sweet of you 🥰

[@Crazyvarkie]

​@@ally1538 My mom was actually quite skilled in the art of not giving a @%#$... But it took a massive amount of effort from the receiver of no #%@$. She was always very polite and wouldn't be able to live with herself if she knew she had hurt someone. She was always the biggest supporter of the underdog. She had a very strong personality though, and quote a few men were intimidated by her. You know those masochistic males who cannot see any use for women outside of the bed and the kitchen... She always had the last say, their comebacks or insults would run out, which would send them into a rage 🤣 at themselves for being stupid 🙄🤣 Those would get no @&#%$.

[@shannonrichardson844]

Love Mr.Williams and that the podcast has a prek teacher. Can't tell you how much is preschool teachers get told we aren't real teachers.

[@sarahk7496]

that’s crazy!

[@rachelfox8108]

Same! I love that the cohort runs the gamut from pre-k (Tell), to elementary (Lauren), to middle school (Bri), to high school (Rebecca). It really helps that they can give such a fantastically huge range of experiences here.

[@Loraizani85]

@@rachelfox8108 I really enjoy that on top of them also including a woman of color and not just a male teacher but a male, queer Pre-K teacher. I love that they’re all from different states and personal educational paths too so they all deal with different They are such a well put together group who can provide really nuanced takes on a lot of different topics.

[@adrianaolvera9166]

@@Loraizani85 yes! I'm a preschool teacher and love that I can relate to all of them especially him also teaching lower income families Thank you Teachers Off Duty

[@vanessavasquez9908]

You are the foundation ❤we need Pre-k teachers

[@melanyxace]

you should do an episode on Paras/aides/coteachers and other support staff.

[@angiecarr9038]

Was an adult assistant for 10 years and now a para, and I would love to hear their thoughts!

[@SwampRobin]

To answer his question: YES kids know they have a Karen mom. My mom was one and I learned to tell her the bare minimum or else she was going to go off on someone for literally doing their job.

[@rachelingrisano9055]

This episode was really funny because you can tell who is a good listener or even listen when someone else is talking. LOLz

[@margoedwards3035]

You are so right about the speed limit in Memphis! Everytime we have a teacher training in Memphis I stress out for days. I'd rather drive in 2nd gear through Atlanta rush hour traffic than anywhere on 40 or 240 in Memphis!

[@sarawoody6395]

I’m from Tennessee and I have been to Cade’s Cove so many times and we would bring picnics and sit at picnic tables and just hang out. It is a beautiful view!

[@christinabottorff6850]

Not me binge watching this entire channel on my Spring Break. 🤣

[@seanriddle4004]

I once got a sunburn on my lower legs after going to the pool one summer. When we got home, my legs were so sensitive that as my mom put aloe on them, my legs felt like they were getting burned again. Don't remember what we did instead but it didn't last for long.

[@gabrielpalm4661]

Interesting that Tell said that it's encouraged to be eye level with the children... I have to say as an ex teachers assistant in a middle school, a lot of bad behavior and not being able to discipline comes from students feeling that they are one the same level with adults. This becomes clearer as they get into middle school and high-school

[@Lyndeflor]

I want to be a teacher one day, and these podcasts are really interesting to listen to! Thank you for making them :)

[@louisacoote2337]

Bri saying she was going to get in her car and look for where the principals get their audacity made me snort with laughter!

[@zekecarathers8940]

My teacher had went on a trip and left on a Friday so she had a sub and when she came back she realized that the sub had taken favorite grading pen out of her drawer that she had hidden under a pile of papers.

[@jaclynkiszczak230]

You all are awesome and I LOVE when you all ramble like this. You're so much fun to listen to!

[@interwaveswatcher1576]

Florida sun is different. & It goes for the tender spots. Tops of feet, top of head/scalp, & groin area. 😬

[@manda1123889]

Savannah Georgia and surrounding areas always have spring break around ST Patricks day. As far as I can remember.

[@Lovelyjoselynn]

Just knowing my 4 yr old will be home for a whole week in April while I’m pregnant lord please help me 😂

[@DiamondTurtle]

My husband and I got married on June 26, 2022 simply because I wanted to have time to do crafty stuff for the wedding, I wanted to do my r bachelorette trip to Six Flags Over Georgia when school was out (our last day was May 26 2022), and I definitely did not want to worry about my classroom prep time being taken up in July or having to use personal days for my honeymoon during the school year.😂 I was so stressed out planning the wedding last year that I had a freaking siezure out of nowhere. I didn’t even get to do much of the crafty stuff because, I was laid up the week before the wedding bc I had to have emergency surgery to drain a giant cyst that came out on my abdomen. Thank God for my sister (also a teacher) who worked on all of my crafty stuff and my Mom (former nurse) who drove an hour out to my house every day so she could pack my wound and take care of me so my now-husband didn’t have to miss work and could still take off for the honeymoon! The surgeon and everyone else were super surprised that I healed up enough to where I wouldn’t have to have the wound packed on the wedding day and I could go swimming on our honeymoon! ❤

[@laurenh614]

all i’ve ever done on spring break as a teacher is go visit family out of town and take my kids to see all the sights. i really want to go to a beach someday

[@ZIPPYMYCAT]

I'm a Canadian high school student I'm in 9th grade I just barley started but my principal is walking around the school I see her almost everyday just walking in the halls and the principal and my teachers are all nice friends and it's great

[@dontm311]

I would genuinely watch it if an entire episode was designated to substitutes. There was once a sub in one of my classes who literally went through all of my teacher's stuff and reorganized everything (copies of tests, worksheets, etc). My teacher was livid when he came back and told the school to never put that sub back in his room.

[@susantownsend8397]

My birthday always fell during teacher days right before school started. For years my husband took me to an office supply store for my birthday so I had the best equipped room in the school. People always wanted to know how I got the school to buy a small laminator, electric pencil sharpener, electric stapler, etc - no, none of that was common in the 20th Century. You better believe my name was engraved into all that stuff ‘cause it would for sure disappear. One year someone gave me a bunch of personalized pencils that said “Mrs Townsend’s pencil”.

[@Lee-zb7xq]

As someone who was born and raised in Nashville, completely agree with the “we dont go to Nashville for anything”

“Jesus wakes up at 8:10(am)” 😂

[@lisamr40]

As a 1980's kid, the thing to do was to go to the Jersey shore for senior week right after graduation. Catholic schools had the first week and the public schools had the second. Never go to the Jersey shore in June. Lol I thought they stopped doing that until my 11th grade daughter said that her and her friends were doing that same thing after graduation. I said "Oh hell no, I KNOW what goes on down there!!" LOL Love your videos. You guys are awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[@alyssamessing8261]

I'm shook right now. I stopped teaching Pre-K 5 years ago, but I would get in trouble for sitting with the kids. We were told we shouldn't ever sit.

[@ashlynvasilas6456]

Hello I’m 14. My grandma is a bus driver for a different county I’m in so we had different spring break weeks. So for my spring break I rode the bus with her all throughout that week to help her keep the elementary kids in line. It was a lot of fun and me and the kids got along great. Some kids that didn’t like my grandma liked me a lot and vise versa. It sucked waking up early but it was fun talking to the kids. My grandma drove them for a semester and didn’t know all the names but I learned all them in 1 week cause I talked to every single one. School ended a week earlier so I rode with them for the last week of school and talked to the 5th graders about the middle school cause I did only 6th grade there. I even rode some 3 weeks of summer school with her just because I was bored. I didn’t talk to any one them though; they were elementary, middle and high schools all at one time cause their short on drivers.

[@memyselfandi3141]

“The speed limit is suggestive in Memphis” 😂😂🙌 Honey yessss it’s so true

They have sunscreen patches you can buy that turn the color of your skin when sunscreen is applied and turns purple when your sunscreen washes off and you need to reapply I was a camp counselor worked outside all day 6 days a week it was my lifesaver

[@valeriem.proulx4922]

The sun is so much stronger here in Florida. My first weekend here, my now husband and I went to the beach a few times over the weekend. That Monday I had to drive to fort Lauderdale (over a four hour drive). I hurt so bad. I had burned so badly that I was literally purple! I was covered in blisters and just hurt so bad (and I also had bronchitis). I must have quite the site for anyone who saw me, especially my boss lol

This year, my city has different spring breaks. I just had mine (went back to college) during March 7-11. Now half the city is on break, including the 2 biggest district. Funny thing is that Texas decided to be bipolar and went from 80 to 32 like it saw a state trooper. Also a group of teachers from my mom's school are going on a wine tasting for their spring break

[@GryffinPhoenixGurl3]

My mom has been stalked at Fiesta Texas by several of her students (past and present) when they see her there

My last spring break, right before we left on our trip, my face, particularly my teeth, were hurting really badly constantly. Halfway through the trip I wake up one morning to half of my face swollen to twice its normal size. Turns out I had a raging infection that required a root canal and a total of 8 novacaine shots to fix. Forgot to mention, I'm terrified of needles. Fun times, lol

So Cades cove doesn't have domesticated deer. They're in the wild. You not supposed to feed them for a reason. Also for future reference the bears there are domesticated either. Lol.

I hope to see you when you visit dirty Myrtle😂! There are nice parts but places that are real ROUGH! I absolutely love the Pawleys Island area which you should totally visit. All the sounding areas are super nice like Surfside, Garden City, Murells Inlet, and Pawleys. Even North MB and the places around there are really is nice! The south end is definitely my top choices as a local. Surfside and Pawleys is just filled with elderly so it’s nice and quite and you can find the best restaurants in the inlet. Hope you get the chance to check them out if you haven’t already!

Wouldn't be great if all there students watch this podcast? I mean. Yesss😁

[@amandamyla8597]

Speaking from personal experience, students want the teachers to go sit down @ there desk. Because we don't want homework, we want to do the work in class; & some of us don't have time for homework because we have a job.

So this thing about “grown men couldn’t even handle the pain” makes no sense to me. Has any woman who has said that had a menstral cramp or worse given birth? Like my mom had a huge kidney stone (I don’t remember the exact size but I do remember they told her that she “broke the record” at that hospital) and they told her “ grown men had to be carried in on stretchers with smaller ones.” In general women were designed with i higher pain and crap tolerance

Yea I've never burned before & then I got put on humira..... I was purple. With sunscreen on. I had sunpoising (but my 13 year old god daughter is a God send & put "Ocean Potion" which is aloe & lidocaine, on me & blew the fan on me 🥰 love her)

I absolutely love your podcast you guys are all hilarious but I have a bone to pick with all of you talking about Nashville and there’s nothing to do here I was born and raised in Nashville I’ve lived in three other countries and I’ve lived in 19 states and I still love my Nashville and there is a lot to do in Nashville if you know where to go and what to do and when I retire I will either stay in Nashville or I will go to California this is the only two places I love the most
