Our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Bri Richardson, and Jess Smith celebrate Halloween on this week's episode of Teachers Off Duty by diving into the world of ghost stories, haunted schools, and eerie encounters in the classroom.

Do you believe in the paranormal? Because we do, and we share our strategy on how we would react to some of the most spine-tingling spectral situations you could imagine. It's all in good fun... unless you’re afraid of ghosts!

Kids have the craziest imaginations, and as teachers we get to hear all the terrifying tales that they end up coming up with. Apparently anything can be haunted these days, we recently heard a story about a possessed pottery wheel named Patrick? We don't know what our students think is so scary about a pottery wheel, but it's definitely an entertaining idea.

Jump right to it!

16:55 - Do You Believe in Ghosts?

You’d think staff meetings would be boring but strap in for these ridiculous stories! Our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Bri Richardson, and Jess Smith are about to spill the tea on some of the funniest stories from the most bizarre staff meetings they've attended on this week's episode of Teachers Off Duty.

As teachers we deal with too many shenanigans to count, even in our staff meetings; from a principal making teachers run in a "flock of geese" formation (whatever that means), to staff meetings that unexpectedly turned into singalongs or dance parties, they've seen it all!

By the way - beware of those “anonymous” surveys. You won’t believe what one principal made his teachers do after receiving negative feedback. We don’t want to give too much away, but it’s pretty petty.

Jump right to it!

8:31 - Worst Staff Meeting Experiences

12:01 - Therapy and Boundary Setting for Teachers

13:31 - Cahoots and Gamifying Staff Meetings

16:31 - Teachers Quitting Dramatically

We promise we won’t be as boring as your usual staff meeting as you join us for this week's episode of Teachers Off Duty.

From saying "no" to overwork and underappreciated responsibilities, to discussing the harsh financial realities teachers face, our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Leslie Rob, and Tyler Jackowski are FED UP.

From dodging lunch duty like a ninja to telling yourself it’s OKAY to take a mental health day, our hosts Gabe Dannenbring, Leslie Rob, and Tyler Jackowski are FED UP with the everyday struggles of balancing work, life, and sanity.

Leslie, Gabe, and Tyler share their funniest stories about first-year teaching nightmares, side hustles (yes, some of us have to work with our students... as bosses), and the art of avoiding unnecessary extra duties. Plus, we stir some drama on why coaching might not be as glamorous as it sounds and how learning to say “no” can actually make you a better teacher.

Listen up as we break down the myth of summers off, why teachers should vent (but wisely!), and the best ways to embrace your teacher tribe. And don’t worry—we’ve got plenty of laughs to get you through those tough days.

Tune in or we’ll assign you extra recess duty!
