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.

You Gave Them an Award for What!?
Can you believe the lies some people tell just to land a job? Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon kick off this episode with Devin’s wild story of surviving a five-hour Metallica concert that nearly took him out. From there, things only get crazier as they dive into a shocking case of a teacher who absolutely lied through her teeth to get her job. Finally they're going to be sharing some of the most hilarious awards given to students. First, Devin shares the Metallica concert experience of a lifetime, complete with mosh pits, celebrity sightings, and most importantly, the brutal reminder that turning 40 comes with limits. All that being said, it was all worth it for a life changing experience that you absolutely can’t miss. One teacher in Massachusetts has taken the phrase “fake it till you make it.” to a whole new level. This teacher’s lies included a fake PhD, fake Marine Corps background, and just about everything about her resume! Tune in to see exactly how her web of lies finally caught up with her. Finally a simple classroom prank was blown completely out of proportion. One teacher gave a 7th grader a “creative” reward, and let's just say the parents didn’t find it as funny as the rest of the class thought it was. Tune in to find out just how bad this joke really was!

Apparently our Teachers are Retiring Sooner than We Thought!
What happens when veteran teachers refuse a buyout? And why are wealthy kids less glued to screens than their peers? Welcome back to Crying In My Car, the podcast for teachers! This week Devin Siebold and James Yon discover the secret to teacher burn out. Then they address the growing push to force older teachers into early retirement, even when they don’t want to leave. They also uncover an eye-opening trend about cell phone use among students and what it really says about parenting across income levels. First, Devin shares why teacher conventions might be the one thing that can reignite a burned-out educator’s passion. From hands-on tech demos to powerful keynote speakers, these gatherings are more than just a break from the classroom, they’re a chance to recharge and reconnect with the profession. Things take a dark turn where, in Maine, some schools are offering early retirement buyouts which seem optional, but if teachers don't take the deal, they simply cut these long-time educators. Is this cost-saving strategy destroying the very experience schools need most? Tune in to hear our take on this injustice. Finally, we head back into the wild world of Reddit, and read jaw-dropping stories about parents who apparently think homework is optional, teachers being threatened, and why rich kids seem to use their phones less than everyone else. You won’t believe the crazy stories were finding this week!

This Teacher Proves the World Map Has Been Lying to Us
Welcome back to Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers! Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon are revealing a huge bomb shell, did you know that our world map can’t be trusted!? They also sifted through the absolute goldmine for academic anecdotes, Reddit; and lets just say, you would never believe the stories they uncovered there. Finally, are we robbing kids of the academic adventure of their lives by not taking them to museums anymore? First we unravel the biggest cartographical conspiracy of our generation. We all know the world map because we all passed first grade geography, but are these maps to be trusted? Apparently not! Tune in to find out exactly how we’ve all been lied to for all these years! Then our hosts searched the deep parts of reddit, where we found a story of a student who has missed a whopping 140 days of school, but surprisingly still might pass. Well for once, the admin is backing the teacher in holding back this irresponsible student. We hope that this will start a trend of schools finally holding people accountable for their actions. Finally we all remember the indescribable joy of going on a field trip to a museum as a kid. This is what spanked Devin’s love for history and eventually led to him being a teacher. All this being said however, with the rise in technology, we feel schools are neglecting giving these kids these valuable educational experiences. Is this good, or are we robbing them of a life changing academic adventure, tune in to hear our take.
