_________________________________ This week on Teachers Off Duty, Honest Teacher Vibes, Miss Lattimore, and Hannah the Loud Teacher share the moments they were sure they were about to get fired, and why teacher anxiety turns even the most harmless admin email into a career-ending event. They get real about observations, posting on social media as a teacher, bad admin, burnout, switching schools, and how to know when it's actually time to leave education. Then things go completely off the rails: parent homework, cutthroat field days, classroom economies, dead class pets, eighth-grade Elf on the Shelf, teacher besties, coaching sports you've never played, and a heated debate over whether kids need to learn how to lose. If you've ever panicked over an admin email, survived an observation, or done something in your classroom and thought "...yeah, this might get me fired," this one's for you.
