_________________________________

It's about that time of the year, and we're getting pretty spooky on this week's episode of Teachers Off Duty. Our hosts Bri Richardson, Gabe Dannenbring, and Anna Kowal have been through a countless amount of Halloween shenanigans in their times as teachers, so this week they're going to be sharing their most hilariously spooky classroom stories.

When people dress up for halloween, they normally want to be a marvel character, a police officer, or something along those lines, however our hosts had a few different ideas. We'll never forget how one year Gabe decided to go as the green M&M, and let's just say it didn't go over well. 

As adults we are not exactly that scared of Freddy Kruger or Jason Voorhees, however there are plenty of things that terrify us in our daily lives. From being asked to stay after school to someone absolutely destroying the teacher bathroom, the life of an educator can truly be petrifying, and our hosts are sharing their funniest stories this week.
