First up, Jay's taking us into the Shark Tank - not with business moguls, but in a school project that's as exciting as it is educational. Then, he's revealing his slightly sneaky, yet totally effective dress code hack. How cold is too cold? You'll find out!
Over to Bri, who's dropping knowledge bombs with a hack to escape those distracting teacher gossip sessions and a pencil-providing strategy that's as sharp as her wit.
And as for KC, he’s got a couple of aces in the hole. Struggling to reach unresponsive parents? I've got just the trick. Plus, he'll introduce you to the QSC (Question Shock Collar) method. It's not what it sounds like... or is it? Tune in to find out!
Last but not least, Bri circles back with a student-empowering hack called "Ask 3 Before Me." It's all about promoting initiative and turning classmates into knowledge allies.

Join us as we explore the best teacher hacks for making your teaching life not just easier, but also a whole lot more fun!
The three of you together are absolutely incredible. Funny is not even the word to call you. Perfect trio of "Super Comedians". If my teachers were as funny as you, I would have taken notes on the funny things you would say, forget about the subject you are trying to learn. I am a teacher, kids say I am funny, but boy nothing like you.
😅😂 you need to be able to scan your class with your phone, and then it sends attendance to the office.
Damn that’s way better than mine!🤣😂🤣
lol AirTag 😂🤣
The worst part is when you call “Sally” on the attendance sheet and you have people both saying “she’s here” and saying “she’s not here” like please just let Sally talk herself.
These are by far the best trio yall have had in here. Great chemistry with all three together.
I'm not a teacher, but I love this podcast 😅
I’m a childcare teacher, my best hack concerns toy clean up time.
We have boxes of dinosaur toys that end up scattered all over the room, I started telling the kids that we’re going to play “Jurrassic World” all the assets are out of containment and need to be put back before they attack. MAN do I get a clean classroom in record time! With NO complaints!
Mystic CT!! Great place!!! Yep, I live in South Eastern CT. My oldest child worked at Mystic Seaport during her college summers and my 2 youngest volunteer. I hope you were able to go to the museum. I was an LD resource public school teacher for 10 years from 1990 to 2000 before I stayed home to raise my 5 kids. When my oldest started highschool, I went back to teaching at a 2 day a week hybrid pre-K thru grade 12 classical curriculum private Catholic school. Now I teach at at classical homeschool co-op. Just found you guys on UA-cam! Love it!
Tnx for making another podcast with these phenomenal and funny humans
The three of you are great i can't wait to see you all in person. I could not stop laughing great pod cast .
Forget Lume! If I have to smell them, they have to smell me!!!!!😂
Speaking of things in teacher’s drinks… my school had this hardcore math teacher and some students put laxatives in her coffee during homeroom. I saw the fallout during my math class in 6th period. I guard my drinks in schools like the Secret Service because of that.
Jay Yoder's IT Group is such an amazing idea -- more high schools should have a 'Tech Support' class
Back in the late 2000's the Big Brains in the DO decided to start 'going green,' as if they gave a crap about it but it sounded good, and they installed new classroom thermostats with sensors in the ceiling to keep cooling and heating costs down. Well, in the desert it gets bloody hot in the fall and we were sweltering. I learned a hack: I brought a hair dryer from home and used it to blow hot hair into the thermostat, making it think it was hotter in the room than it was and the AC would run. The things we had to do. One hack I came up with years ago: I got tired of the 'but I turned that in' excuse for missing assignments, and the 'you lost it' excuse. I started using color coded folders for each class and trained the students to turn their assignments into their folder without my doing anything. I would record them and put the go-backs in a folder the same color and my TA would pass them back. The papers never left the room and if they tried the 'you lost it' excuse...well, that won't work anymore! Some other teachers adopted the same system after seeing it worked. @ Bri: yes, Ask Three Before Me! I had 'that kid' who, the instant guided practice would begin, would break the sound barrier with their hand flying up and always say something like "I don't get it". Well, I put a three question limit in place: you get to ask me three things, after that you are done. Choose wisely. It helped a lot, and you're right: sometimes they 'get it' better from another student who did understand.
Shoutout to Buc-ees! We are big fans here in Texas
You can get golf pencils with erasers now. We have them in the classroom.
I put a calendar reminder every day for staff for doing special education goal documentation. It helped all of the teacher to actually do it more consistently. Behavior wise we did a my time your time. I would time my lessons to be so much of the period and give the students 10 minutes of their time. If they took my time they lost time. They would get on each other so they could have time. One group did basketball since the court was just outside our room.
If this is the permanant cast this is great.
Lol I am that teacher would do that with the questions during staff meeting but it was because we needed to talk about so many things but admin didn't bring them up. Like we have kids on suspension at the time and our administration was like we will talk about it at the meeting. They didn't so I had to.
I love this podcast i work in a school bus and this podcast gets me threw the early mornings
I love Breonna! Honest Teacher Vibes.
Every school nurse would want a lifetime subscription to the PBHT Associates!!!!!
23:03 Hey I manage a team of adults (19-60+) and they go nuts for stickers and tootsie rolls with their work reviews. You never outgrow that.
My grandma runs the library at an elementary school in my district. She was the first one to do a make up space. They are now implemented in most schools and they are some of them. It’s a whole room some of them it’s just a small part of the library but because of this now students have a, they can see for their good grades and their hard work
Not drinking any water is what gave me a kidney stone for my entire winter break🥲😅😂
One time, my teacher let the troublemaker fill her water... He filled it with toilet water and didn't say anything until she had already draken some of it
We need a motion picture about this help desk type of things
We want you to come to Missouri!
1:06 mrs doubtfire is a theatre play now, they are having shows in Baltimore.
Liquid lunch is an martini!
I have to go to a meeting tomorrow. When can you give me a shock collar?
As a nurse, I would rather a dry mouth than wet pants as well😂😂
Parent bounty hunter tracker took me out!
You are so funny!
3:03 nvm I’m pissed. The tickets are sold out. Come to Atlantic Canada and I’ll buy tickets.
MAINE… WHAT!? That’s like so close to NB. See y’all there!
🎉Hello from CT!
Yeah more teachers off duty
Can we get a tutorial on the Uno Card hack?
Schools should hire someone to give teachers potty breaks, when I was a kid they could leave anytime for any reason,and we just never caused problems we were to scared to go to the principal and get paddled without talking to a parent.
You should hand out "banned books" when you go to places like Florida,Texas and west Virginia.
What happened to Tell, Gabe and Lauren?
GOOD MORNING
Where in Florida??
Why is the first teacher so obsessed with dress code to make a hack? Especially when we know dress codes are known to be inherently discrimanatory against female students. Not to mention, it becomes increasingly harder to find girls clothes that meet dress code AND are stylish, so the girl is either out of dress code or get bullied.
It’s bc we the parents work too hard and too much. When I had my children, I made decent money….. but now!!!! I can’t even afford a full month of groceries. I have no time to teach my children. They watch social media and within a week they become addicted to Fortnite……. And then I’m the bad parent bc I don’t allow my son to play for hours each night. It’s heartbreaking. We don’t want our kids to hate us. And all the kids their age are playing the game. All the kids are watching the videos and downloading the apps. When my son asked me for a cell phone for Xmas and he is 9!!!! His reasoning was that all the kids in his class have one…… no kids are playing sports, walking the streets….. I take my babies to the park and we are the only ones there. Kids are staying inside. It doesn’t help that we live in the armpit of America (West Virginia) but the amount of kids that stay inside during summer break is sickening. The only socialization these kids get is through Fortnite, and the violence and language on that game is outrageous!! Hearing my 10 year old son play Fortnite, is almost like watching a documentary of the holocaust. We try to monitor things, but truth be told, my son is more tech savvy than I am!!!
Maybe if I didn’t have to work as much, and if I could move near the beach where ppl still go outside, then maybe I could save my kids…… but when you have businesses closing down left and right and when I can’t even make ends meet and I have a nursing degree, then you tell me what I should do!!! The teachers don’t want to do the work. So I have to spend thousands of dollars in education each year so my son can now attend a private school bc at least there they put the effort into my son and set standards.
She is talking about Bruno!!!! Unsubscribe to this channel to send a message about this hate speech 😂😂😂
You're the only one that thinks this funny 🙄😝
