For the first time ever, Bri, Jess, and Anna are together in the studio—and you already know it’s going to be unhinged in the best way. From fashion fails and meet-and-greet poses to the real tea on professional development, we’re sharing our funniest stories and most honest takes on what PD should look like for teachers.

We’re talking about:

• Low-rise jeans trauma
• Meet & greet photo hacks
• Why PDs should be led by veteran teachers
• The power of teacher TikTok + TeacherGram
• Crusty lips and jean jacket woes
• Our favorite (and worst) PD experiences
• Tangible takeaways we actually want
• Why school culture matters more than note cards

Plus, we reveal what districts are getting right, why professional development shouldn’t feel like punishment, and why laminating in the middle of a PD is… a bold choice.

This week on Teachers Off Duty, Bri, Jess, and Cory tackle a topic we all feel but rarely unpack: why is there such a decline in respect for teachers today? From hilarious dad jokes to honest takes on classroom culture, student behavior, parent-teacher dynamics, and even admin relationships, this episode is a real, unfiltered look at what respect should really mean in education.

The crew shares personal stories and perspectives on how respect is earned, lost, and sometimes never given in today’s school environment — all while reminding us that teachers are the backbone of every profession.

We’re also diving into:

• Whether teachers automatically deserve respect

• How classroom culture affects student behavior

• Why administrators and teachers struggle to see eye-to-eye

• The impact of social media and generational shifts

• How we can start restoring respect — one classroom at a time
