I'm your host KC Mack, and with me are the ever-entertaining Jay Yoder and Bri. Buckle up, because we're about to unwrap the honest and darkly humorous reality of teaching during the holiday season. We've got stories about our desperate attempts to keep the peace by playing movies, the interruptions from never-ending assemblies and school plays, and the heartfelt, and sometimes quirky, second-hand gifts from students. Join us as we paint a picture of the arts and crafts pandemonium, where glitter becomes a part of your DNA, and the Elf on the Shelf is more like a spy on a mission. Plus, we'll celebrate those rare, magical moments when grateful parents show their appreciation with thoughtful gifts, understanding the true hustle of holiday teaching. But that's not all. We'll also share the inside scoop on admin's pun-filled gifts that make you groan and smile at the same time, the mystery baked goods that appear in the staff lounge, and, of course, the infamous staff holiday parties. And let's not forget the universal teacher countdown to that sweet, sweet winter break! So grab your favorite holiday snack, get cozy, and tune in to Teachers Off Duty and join us, as we share our tales of holiday hilarity mixed with a dash of heartfelt moments!
