Retire!? Just take a nap…
May 14, 2024Tap to summarizeBeware of your next PE hockey game turning into a pool noodle fiasco… Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon as they mentally prepare themselves for the pool noodle war to end all pool noodle wars! Do they have what it takes? Maybe back in 2019. Now, it's anyone's win. Can you imagine running into your student in the wild? Our hosts some of the most embarrassing moments of running into "schoolies" - who knew they existed outside those glitter board walls? We discuss the latest snack-time controversy that's driving students bananas - literally! Can fruit improve focus in students, or is it just a slippery move by administration? One teacher decided to put a fun spin on the classic game of hockey, by arming his students with pool noodles. This is amazing in theory, but bit him in the butt when one student got his glasses shattered on the gym floor. Either way we think it would be fun to start our own pool noodle hockey league, who will emerge victorious? Tune in to find out! So strap on your knee pads (or knee brace), keep your pool noodle close, and tune in to this week's episode of Crying in my Car, a podcast for teachers! _________________________________________________________ Crying In My Car Podcast: Presented By Bored Teachers

Promposals That Cost More Than a Used Car!!!
Apr 30, 2024Tap to summarizeThey told Jesus no sandals allowed at prom… Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon where they take a walk down memory lane and discuss prom – a night of glitz, glamor, and... crippling expenses? From the corsage to the limo, there are so many hidden costs in prom, and they're breaking down some of the craziest ones. They also couldn't help but notice that the dress code for prom is so ridiculous, that even the parents would be dress-coded. Prom could cost these students a small fortune, you wouldn't believe how high these price tags get! We don't know about you guys, but if our promposal cost as much as a 1999 Toyota Corolla, they would just get a Happy Meal and a ride in our brand new 1999 Toyota Corolla. By the way - tux rentals, can we get a 2 nights for 1 deal!? We can't afford to do BOTH prom and graduation with these numbers. Don't get us started with the ridiculous dress code guidelines. Are students really being celebrated, or are they actually being suppressed by these out-of-date traditions? So put on your corsage, check your coat at the door, don't you dare bring your flask and tune in to this week's episode of Crying in my Car, a podcast for teachers! _________________________________________________________ Crying In My Car Podcast: Presented By Bored Teachers

Grab your tickets for the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour here: https://www.boredteachers.com/comedy-tour Welcome back to Crying in my Car, a podcast for teachers! Join our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon where we ask the annual question: they're tossin' caps, but are they ready for what comes next? From finding the quad to how to sign up for the right classes, we explore what it means to get ready for college. Can teachers survive senioritis? Between early alarms, a lack of interest from students, and demanding admin, it's no wonder that the last stretch takes a lot out of you. By the way… is school starting too early or are we getting older? It definitely doesn't align with adolescent science. A snooze button on the morning bell could be the MVP of academia. Asking for a friend…. So get ready to struggle through that senioritis, avoid getting hit by a rogue graduation cap, and tune in to this week's episode of Crying in my Car, a podcast for teachers. _________________________________________________________ Crying In My Car Podcast: Presented By Bored Teachers
