Brace yourselves because this week on Teachers Off Duty, we're diving into the wild, ridiculous, and downright shocking requests parents have made to teachers. From demanding a year's worth of lesson plans at open house to expecting overnight UPS deliveries of classwork, some parents are truly next-level.   Join Jess Smith, Leslie Robb, and Devin Siebold as they share jaw-dropping stories, hilarious reactions, and the ultimate head-scratching moments that make you wonder, how did we even get here?! Plus, Devin reveals his regrettable decision to send his kids to school in full moose gear, and we collectively question why some parents think teachers are also personal assistants.   Tune in for plenty of laughs, relatable teacher struggles, and a reminder that, yes, parents really do say the darndest things. Have your own crazy parent request stories?  Drop them in the comments! And don’t forget to like, subscribe, and leave a review—or we might just start overnight mailing our podcast scripts to your house. 

And just when you think you've heard it all, we wrap up with the ultimate head-scratcher: a parent demanding their child be switched from physical education to gym class—because apparently, they're two different things?  It’s moments like these that remind us why we laugh through the chaos. So grab your coffee (or something stronger), settle in, and join us for another episode of Teachers Off Duty—where we turn the madness of teaching into comedy gold.

So grab some chocolates (or a clearance sale box the day after), and get ready to laugh with us on Teachers Off Duty!
