My daughter alivia had Mrs Woolley as her teacher last year and she is amazing.. we love listening to your podcast or watching it, you guys make us laugh so much

I have a student who's incredibly detail oriented and will hyperfixate on mistakes and be unable to move on until it's addressed. And I mean there was a typo on an assignment, a word spelled two different ways on the paper, which no one in three years had noticed (myself included) and this kid saw it and did not do any work for a good 15 minutes because he was staring at the mistake. When I noticed he was taking a crazy amount of time I checked in on him and he pointed out the mistake so I told him what was correct and then he nodded, fixed it, and went right back to working. That happened a few more times with it stopping him in his tracks for a while until I told him "You notice details more than me, I will never be mad at you for pointing out a mistake, so please, as soon as you notice let me know so I can fix it" This is my second year with this kid and it's so much better now

Wait 6 out of 17 students did their homework?? You only have 17 5th graders?? I have 32 5th graders in California 😞😢

Where's HonestTeacherVibes and Ms. Rogers?

I'm with Tell on the "Favorite" students' criteria- there were so many times I had students that would make me lose it with laughter at times that I was beyond grateful to be wearing a mask. Occasionally they'd catch on to me and be like "Oh she's mad, oh she's really upset- look her face is red!" and then one class (who generally didn't cause any issues) realized I was struggling not to laugh (I ended up treating it as a reward because the next day I brought in a bunch of Kid Friendly Joke books and Madlib books and if they finished their work early they could look through those- that was a fun sub job)

"Have the confidence of a line leader" I got anxiety. Even in elementary school I'd figure out what day would be my day as line leader and I'd fake sick to stay home

Mrs. Woolly, you don’t need to rush having kids, do it when you’re ready.

We’re is Mrs Rogers

I can’t stress enough how adorable the intro is 😮❤

Ive never caught a podcast episode this early! So happy to listen to this, its so enjoyable and you are all so inspiring. I want to become a teacher in the future, and you all feed into that so much and it makes me so happy to listen to this!

We don’t have teachers on recess or lunch duty, we had separate yard duties. However I would play checkers because we had checker boards at recess, or I would read in the library if it was open because it was air conditioned. However I have always liked hanging out with adults more than kids and I think it is because since I was 5 I was hanging out with teenagers. Literally adults some of them. Some of my best friends were 10-13 years older than me. I only hung out with people my own age in school. Thank you competitive dance for making me older than I am. You know what, I just figured it out, that is why people think I am older than I am.

What happened to the four of y’all on here. I miss seeing all four of you guys on there. Hope it all comes back. Also, from the “teachers lounge” in the early days. What happened to Mrs. Southern?

I just retired from teaching high school after 27 years. One thing I discovered many years ago is that if I made a mistake somehow (spelling, a dumb adding error, etc.) the WORST thing to do is get upset when called out on it...instead, making a joke is the best way out. I would adopt a radio announcer voice and say, "The District is now taking applications for much. Better. Teachers." Totally defused the situation and, I think, helped them see me as a "real" person. They don't respect teachers who get huffy if called out on an error. And, spelling mistakes...when I would be tired near the end of the day, my #1 word to misspell was, get this: "of." I would write "ov". Good grief.

I just recently found you guys. Listening to you is fun, but makes me feel sooooo old. I'm in my mid 40s and I realized the other night that I was old enough to be some of y'all's mother. And that seems weird to me because my son started his freshman year in high school this year. When he was in elementary I volunteered in his class once a week, but didn't hover him. I have deep respect for teachers. They don't get enough praise and they get crapped on way too much. The world needs more teachers like you. And you need a place to vent.

I love the podcast!!! Y’all should make this game like an end of the episode activity or maybe try other games and try them at the end of each episode

18:15 *student finds misspelled word* you have passed the test. Good job!

Yay! I've been waiting for Ms. Smith to be on here! Congrats to her on her new "hot mess"! 😉😁💝

When I tell u I forgot the podcast was coming out today and when I remembered I screamed of joy

I could never teach without a lesson plan. I am not comfortable in front of crowds, though that has gone down in after years in the business, so one way to manage that anxiety is to prepare well beforehand. As long as I have a plan, even if I have to improvise part way through due to some mishap, I’ll be ok. That plan usually involves some practice of what to say as well, again, to reduce anxiety while in front of the room.

My daughter didn’t start her family until just before she turned 31 and had her second at 34. You are not behind! Take your time and you will be a better mom.

Love yall

I wish we got a close up zoom of the photos during the meme game 😂

Live this!

That Eagles hat made my day 🦅 fly, Eagles, fly!

Will Mrs Rodgers be coming back?

Love the eagles hat!!! Go eagles

I wrote my own conference sheet based on my states standards and we had no school evaluation. I put the name on the front because I was afraid of evaluating the wrong kid.

I still need an explanation why the other two girls aren't there!!! I miss them

29:53 that is a golden snub nose

It's "zeh-fur" hills, like "a mild spring zephyr" in Winnie the Pooh.

Well homework was invented by a principal as punishment...

You guys are becoming comfort KZfaqrs scarily fast

In alabama our class sizes are usually 30-45 (usually closer to 40-45) 😭 its insane and not enough room for everyone

WAIT THE WATER 😂 Zephyrhills has a short e sound in the beginning not the long I haha I’m from there

I miss Rebecca and Bri 😕

Never has a snow day, but have been evacuated due to flooding and bushfires (wildfire).

There’s always the one student, or two, who want to hang out. I feel for them because I was that student at some point, but man, do we need a breather. Even if it’s 5 minutes, please.

Please talk about cheating in exams !

Kinda sounds like the kid who says you owe him money has a point ngl. Sounds like a kid way to bring up they weren’t comfortable being posted (whether it’s just their voice or not) on a unsanctioned unassociated with the school district social media account that for sure fall outside of the forms parent’s sign okaying pictures etc for brochures/school websites.

What happened to Rebecca and Bri?

being line leader gave me anxiety , i'm a follower not a leader 😭😭😭

I know you probly will not see this bc I'm so late but its a rain frog

I hated eureka.. that program brings up bad memories.. all the teachers hated it lol

I am a science teacher. Once I spelled “organism” wrong. Oops.

Love that you're trying a new format, but I totally prefer the open conversation vs a drinking game (I realize there's no alcohol, but there are totally kids watching this and they might get ideas)
