Why are These Teachers Not Listening?

Is it almost time for student teachers to finally get paid for their work? Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a Podcast for Teachers ! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon dive into a new bill that could drastically renew the interest in the teaching profession. They also ask the question, are teachers really that bad as audience members? Finally they are going to be sharing the funniest ways that students have completely outed their parents in the classroom. First, we talk about the newest bill in California that could finally pay student teachers for their hard work. We all know how it was to struggle through unpaid student teaching, and hopefully this could possibly attract and or keep more teachers in the profession. Tune in to hear our take! Teachers may be pros in the classroom, but according to Devin, they can be absolute chaos as an audience. At conferences and comedy shows, they're notorious for breaking the very rules they enforce with their students. From standing up mid-presentation to scrolling on their phones, it's a complete madhouse, hear us theorize why teachers make such bad audience members. Finally, we wrap things up with pure comedy gold: the funniest, and most brutally honest, things kids have told teachers about their parents. From mom's "special drink" to dad's two-minute "date nights", these anecdotes remind us why teaching is never boring.
