This week on Teachers Off Duty, Bri, Anna, and our newest co-host Jessica dive into a hilarious, chaotic, and shockingly relatable conversation about Teaching THEN vs. Teaching NOW — and let's just say… things have changed A LOT.
From victory parades, doghouse punishments, and Catholic school trauma to scripted curriculum, red-pen drama, tech overload, middle school chaos, and why today's grading systems make ZERO sense… this episode is nonstop stories, teacher truths, and belly laughs.
Plus, we're talking about everything from classroom management hacks and the power of productive struggle (instead of helicopter teaching) to how and when sarcasm actually works with kids, why admin support can completely make or break your school year, and how today's grading systems have changed the game. We also get into tech overload in the classroom, what it's really like teaching middle school chaos, the pressure on ELA teachers to be "perfect" spellers, and why kids today have zero fear of calling you by your first name.
