Teacher Makes Millions On A TV Home Shopping Network

E

Join Devin and James, for another hilarious episode of Crying In My Car! This week, we're exploring the wild world of Alibaba's new live-streaming platform, where teaching meets QVC, and the results? Well, they're in the millions! Yes, you heard right, our educator comrades in China are blending savvy selling tactics with teaching and pocketing millions in live sales! We can't help but wonder if this could be the side hustle we never knew we needed. Who remembers the English teaching craze to Chinese students? Devin dishes on his less-than-stellar experience with it, involving an unconventional platform and an unexpected wrestling match during qualification. Figurative wrestling. In our Teachers in the News segment, Devin dives into some jaw-dropping stories, like the teachers from Clark County who found themselves behind bars after demanding a much-needed pay raise. Then there's the perplexing case of a Chicago teacher shot in the leg at a White Sox game—with the game continuing nonetheless! And let's not forget the daring rescue of a teacher from a closet (who knew teachers had closets?) post-robbery! We also delve into the financial plight of an Idaho teacher who, after laying out her expenses, is left with a measly $25 a month.

Parental Guidance: How To Handle "Difficult" Parents

E

This week Devin Siebold and James Yon are crying in their cars over having to deal with difficult parents in schools. Devin discovers Michigan's secret educational weapon: identical teaching twins (double the eyes, double the trouble!) and puzzles over a prodigious 16-year-old Oklahoma teacher with three degrees (Does she even remember a world where Steve Irwin existed?). Meanwhile, a superintendent takes the 'sailing into the sunset' approach amidst a timecard scandal, prompting Devin to ponder the state of her vacation finances. James delves deep into the parent-teacher dimension, offering sage advice on handling those tricky parent-teacher conferences. Face-to-face? Sounds great, unless it's at a Chili's happy hour and the reason for the meet-up rhymes with 'your kid makes me drink'. And finding common ground? Let's just say some terrains are a bit rockier than others. Finally, we dive into parent territory, investigating a mom giving some good ol' lip service at school and another with TikTok rule fame. From musical dining bans to enforced piano servitude, these rules sound like a mix of a reality show and a parenting guide gone rogue. So grab those grading pens, because Devin and James are about to take you on a wild ride!

Sick Day Struggles In Education

E

Brace yourselves, educators! In the latest "Crying In My Car" episode, Devin's back is about as supportive as that 1930s Victorian chair he encountered in a time-warped hotel. Ever seen a TV that pre-dates the remote? Devin has. Amid back pains, we dive into the real hurt: teaching with zero sick days, paying for subs, and the 'luxury' of underpaid teacher aids. James cracks wise about principal paychecks, while Devin wonders: can you really pay someone enough to be a school's chief stress absorber? In our 'Teachers in the News', we equate shady school contracts to mobile phone deals (Buyout, anyone?), discuss wardrobe rebellions in Colorado, and touch the touchy subject of DEI classes. James, ever the jester, keeps us laughing. Got a school tee? Devin wants it. Not to wear with pride, but to gleefully mock. He's looking at you, sneaky dress-code dodgers. Wrapping up, hurricanes become a hilarious metaphor for teaching and we debate Florida's dubious teacher "perks". Dive in for a whirlwind of laughs and teacher truths!

Getting Paid Thousands to Drive Your Own Kid to School

E

Hold onto your lesson plans, folks, because this episode of "Crying In My Car" with Devin Siebold and James Yon, is revving up to be a wild ride! Can you imagine being crowned "Teacher of the Year" on your very first day? Pressure much? According to Devin, your paycheck should match your excellence (hear, hear!). Jump on board our "Teachers in the News" segment where you wont believe your ears. Got satanism in your Tweets? One teacher's social media led to a devilishly quick exit. Overheating school buses in Kansas City – where the only thing hotter than the engine is the news about a heroic driver with heatstroke symptoms. And in other shocking bus-related news, there's a driver shortage. And some kids are moonlighting as night owls, hopping off the bus at 10 PM. Hey parents, fancy earning thousands for carpooling...your own kids? Philly's waving those dollar bills and paying parents THOUSANDS to drive their own kids to school during the year! Charleston County has cracked the code: higher teacher salaries = fewer vacancies. Who'd have thought? Meanwhile, in Huston, one teacher's contract is playing the limbo – "How low can you go?" But wait! There's more. We're taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane, revisiting our (mis)adventures on the school bus. Devin recalls some, ahem, wardrobe malfunctions and his reign as the "Pixie Stick King". James? He's got a tale that'll remind you to never tick off a bus driver, especially on what they are willing to have be their last day. So, buckle up, folks!

Now These Teachers Know How To Rap

E

Devin Siebold, and co-host James Yon, are serving up the spiciest tales from the teaching world. Major shoutout to Saketome in Missoula, MT for an unforgettable meal while Devin was out there dropping some professional development knowledge at a local school. Let's face it, there's nothing like a good meal to keep us from stress-eating our way through the school year. Speaking of stress, Devin introduces his brand-new charity aimed at easing those teachers' stress levels by helping with pet care costs called "Teacher's Pet". Because let's be real, after a day of grading, who wouldn't want some furry love? Ever noticed how some teachers give the side-eye to ex-teachers who've pivoted careers? Well, we're diving into that too. Whether you're cracking jokes on a stage or inspiring from a podium, isn't it all about spreading positivity? And then it's Teachers in the News time! From Alabama's data-less data collection (say what?!) to the heartwarming story of Jacki, the Maui teacher-hero who leaped into action during wildfires. And, oh boy, you won't believe what one Wisconsin teacher gifted her student and why. Finally, there's the story of the teacher who took "juice break" way too literally which leads to Devin "rapping up" the show by laying down some smooth verses with his own rendition of "Gin and Juice". Picture us, chilling, sippin' on TEACHER JUICE, crying in our cars, and keeping it oh-so.....

The Two Teacher Trap

E

Listen to this podcast: https://bit.ly/ListenCIMC Education enthusiasts, Devin and James, back on the mics, and we've got a treat for you! Ever feel like the supply closet in your classroom is just a sad metaphor for your bank account? Well, you're not alone. Turns out 94% of our American teaching comrades are swiping their own cards to fill those shelves. But worry not! Devin's on a mission, one fundraiser at a time, to transform that "empty shelf" frown upside-down! Speaking of fundraisers, we've got tales of teachers – from the heroic to the downright hilarious. Ever heard of a teacher championing not one, not two, but 23 different online campaigns? No? Well, buckle up! And, psst... (whisper) they made the national news! Speaking of making the news, let's talk teachers in the news as "Double the Teacher, Double the Fun!" became a Dayton Public Schools' mantra with their groundbreaking two-teacher-per-room setup. Spoiler alert: it was a hit! Until...well, the budget said, "Thank you, next!" Ah, the classic two-teacher trap. Cheaters never prosper, especially not when they tangle with teachers. We've got a story that will make you gasp... or laugh... probably both! And, oh boy, Broward County, FL is cooking up something spicy with a vow to sprinkle some big bucks on their teachers' paychecks. But wait, there's a catch! Devin and James dive deep into the intricacies of tenure, seniority, and the influential impact of our veteran teaching stars! While James suns himself on vacation (jealous, who? Us?), he's got a veteran parent story that's bound to tickle your funny bone. And speaking of vacations, Devin gets real about the true meaning of a teacher's "staycation." Just before we sign off, have you ever dreamt of a vacation without any kids? Yeah, we thought so. Enter: The Virgin Cruise Line, with a whopping SPF rating of 50 (Student Protection Factor, of course). Major props to Laura Poe for shining the spotlight on this absolute gem!

We get some wild comments we get from teachers on the Bored Teachers Comedy Tour. Let's just say, they give us a run for our comedic money.

Have you ever thought about being paid based on test scores? Houston's on it, and let's just say, we have thoughts. And speaking of money, what's up with the vanishing paychecks in Mobile, Alabama? Find out in our closing story for the segment. We wrap things up with a humorous glance at our desert-teaching fiends. Teaching amidst cacti and scorpions is hard work, but maybe there's an off chance YOU could stumble across a magic lamp that will bring the magical wonders of teaching to life? To close things out, Devin's got the top ten signs that you might just be, in fact teaching in the desert.

Going All In As A Teacher

E

Devin Siebold, and the ever-entertaining James Yon are jumping into the world of teaching and beyond. First up, ever thought about a career change? Let us pitch to you the unmatched joys of teaching. Job security? Check. Wild tales from the cafeteria trenches? Double check. (I mean, who knew lunch ladies had beef with adults over kid-sized portions?) Speaking of pleasantries, gather 'round as we wax poetic about the saints of the school hallways. Yep, those eternally optimistic, apple-for-the-teacher-giving sweethearts. Hint: They're not just in fairytales. In our sizzling Teachers in the News segment, we chew on the tale of a heroic educator who gobbled down 50 hot dogs at the national hotdog eating contest. Joey Chestnut, watch your back! Plus, there's a bit of a pickle over in San Francisco – teachers are itching for a pay bump, but the city's coffers are feeling the pinch. Fresh from his Compton sojourn, Devin is dishing on everything from street cred to classroom inspo. And speaking of things that need a little inspo, let's talk Congress. They're great at pointing out education issues – actually fixing them? Not so much. As we parody political speeches, remember: we laugh to keep from crying. And for our grand finale, ever wondered what's on Devin's watchlist while on a casino hotel treadmill? (No? Too bad.) In its place, Devin gives us his top ten teacher-approved gambling tips.

It's A Sad Teacher Summer Out There

E

Grab a box of tissues (and maybe a tub of ice cream) as we ride the rollercoaster of emotions on this episode of Crying In My Car with your teary-eyed hosts, Devin Sieold and James Yon. It's a Sad Teacher Summer out there and starting us off, we dissect a teacher's journey of weight loss. Between structure, plans, and having unfettered access to that ever-tempting teacher's lounge vending machine, we find ourselves deep in the heart of snack dilemmas. Then we delve into a lesser-discussed struggle: teachers trying to find purpose during summer. Ah, yes, that confusing 'vacation' that leaves us teachers feeling like a mime in an invisible box. We wish more educators would shine a light on this seasonal affliction. Up next, our 'Teachers in the News' segment has us crying into our morning coffee (and it's not just because we're out of creamer). Is Tennessee putting up barriers for teachers' union dues? Oh, the drama! There's a company in Virginia treading the digital waters, attempting to fill the teacher shortage with online training platforms. And what's with summer reading lists for educators bypassing gender issues in the classroom? Do we need to pull out the 'diversity and inclusion' flashcards again? But the real tearjerker: an innocent substitute teacher in India becomes the victim of a manipulated audio recording. Brace yourselves, this one's a doozy. And just when you thought we were done, we plunge down the Reddit rabbit hole, revisiting a thread about teacher tenure and contracts. Ever wondered what tenured teachers get away with? Well, you're about to find out. So buckle in, folks. This episode promises to be as emotionally tumultuous as grading a stack of essays the night before report cards are due.

Get ready for an episode full of eye-opening revelations. First off, Devin spills the beans about a platform that lets enthusiasts teach their passion to eager learners online. And to our Civil War-obsessed history teachers - come on, there's more to history than General Lee and Abe Lincoln! Then, we dive into the episode's heart: prison education.

In everyone's favorite Teachers in the News segment, we uncover a golden opportunity for teachers to earn a free Master's degree in English Language Learning, we celebrate a three-time cancer-surviving former teacher turned equestrian champ, we grapple with a Georgia teacher's firing over a gender identity book, and discuss a parent who took the anti-bullying message a little too far. Expect a heated debate over an email James shares, sent from a distraught parent to their child's teacher upon learning about their failing grades. Is this the time for a helicopter parenting discussion? James says, "YES"! Lastly, parents, brace yourselves: James is coming at you with his list of the Top-Ten Most Difficult Types of Parents to Deal With in a School Setting. We promise it's all in good fun (mostly).

The Truth About Unhealthy School Lunches

E

Welcome back to Crying In My Car, where your favorite comedic educator, Devin Siebold, and resident parent James Yon, tackle a subject close to our hearts, our stomachs, and our school cafeterias - "The Truth About Unhealthy School Lunches." To kick things off, James tells all about his fresh off-the-stage experience performing for a crowd of teachers and a whole lot of love on the Teachers Do Standup Comedy Tour. A Meanwhile, Devin makes the ultimate sacrifice in the name of comedy. With a throbbing toothache and a sudden appointment with the Tooth Fairy (also known as an oral surgeon), he gets his wisdom tooth pulled before stepping on stage. We're not just about the laughs though. Devin starts getting serious - about salads. After shedding 18 pounds, he's now leading the charge for healthier choices in our Weight Loss Group. And James? He's here to make sure that the journey from fries to fiber is as fun as possible. In our hot-from-the-blackboard Teachers in the News segment: a teacher takes a hard stand against unhealthy lunches, the University of Harvard welcomes an AI professor, a memorial scholarship makes a major financial impact, Las Vegas hires a data research firm to investigate the mystery of teacher vacancies, and a student makes a rather painful discovery about the perils of DIY motorcycling. Then James takes us on a deep dive into the politics of school boards and the role of parents in learning beyond the classroom. Spoiler alert: It's a bit of a drama fest. Finally, we navigate the virtual maze of social media and its impacts on teacher self-esteem. (Pro-tip: No, that Instagram-filtered, color-coordinated, Pinterest-perfect classroom is not the norm!) So buckle up and get ready to chow down on a hearty serving of comedy, insight, and just a dash of wisdom (tooth not included). Here's to laughing until we cry...in our car! -- Follow Devin at http://DevinComedy.com https://tiktok.com/@devincomedy http://twitter.com/devinsiebold http://instagram.com/devinsiebold Follow James at http://JamesYon.com https://tiktok.com/@jamesyoncomedy http://instagram.com/jamesyoncomedian

Devin opens his personal vault of memories, reminiscing about an ex who mastered the art of finessing grades in nursing school.

The Ten Commandments of Teaching with Dr. Keri Whaley

E

Devin Siebold and James Yon welcome the multifaceted powerhouse Dr. Keri Whaley to the latest episode of the Crying In My Car podcast! Keri, a college professor, comedian, and writer with a knack for media, entertainment, and film, comes armed with tales that could only emerge from the chaotic convergence of comedy and academia. Find out how a screenplay born from a joke has landed Keri a spot in the Rhino Comedy Shorts Film Festival in New York. She dives into the age-old teacher mantra, "If you give a student an inch, they'll take a mile," and how it, unfortunately, has driven many an educator to consider a cocktail (or two). Keri gives us her candid and hilarious insight into the transition from teaching high school to navigating the more 'mature' minds of college kids. Spoiler alert: the importance of maintaining a hardass attitude with college students is paramount! She also dishes on the nuances of being close in age to her students and also the (sometimes) glorious differences in schedule. Our 'Teachers in the News' segment covers the feel-good tale of a Florida teacher crowned the "chalkboard champion," and the unflagging determination of a 91-year-old teacher who flat-out refuses to retire after 63 years. But not all news is good news, as we find out about the transphobic vandalism of a parent's truck and the curious bill passed in Texas mandating the display of the Ten Commandments in every classroom. To counter this rather perplexing law, Devin shares his own hysterical rendition of the Ten Commandments – but designed exclusively for teachers! You'll be wiping away tears of laughter before he gets to Commandment Three. Promise.

Devin shares his personal experiences with the ever-evolving landscape of school safety, and the immense responsibility teachers bear for their students.

But it's not all scandals and shockers! We also highlight a teacher's innovative fundraising through recycling for a Tanzanian school and the tale of a kindergarten teacher whose influence inspired a student to become an incredibly talented painter.
