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 Listen now & don’t forget to subscribe!  Follow your hosts:  Briana Richardson @HonestTeacherVibes  Jess Smith @TeacherTalesOfMissSmith Cory Michaelis @corymichaeliscomedy Follow us on all platforms @TeachersOffDutyPodcast _________________________________ Teachers Off Duty - A Bored Teachers©️ Podcast
