Send us a textHave you ever wondered what elementary school students really think about their teachers? In this unique episode, we flip the script by interviewing our youngest guests ever - students from kindergarten through fifth grade - to gain their unfiltered perspectives on education.Our first guest Anna, a fifth-grade graduate with straight A's, shares wisdom beyond her years about academic success. Her advice to take time for projects "even if you have to take time from recess" reveals the discipline that helped her excel. When asked about substitute teachers, Anna delivers perhaps the most insightful comment of the episode: substitutes sometimes struggle because "we learn a little different than they did whenever they were learning." This gentle observation highlights the generational gap in teaching methods that many educators face today.Younger voices join the conversation too. Eli, having just completed kindergarten, appreciates teachers who "help you learn about what you don't know" and substitutes who are "kind and sometimes you already know them." Meanwhile, five-year-old Zachary, entering kindergarten, reminds us of the social importance of school, mentioning friends and games as his highlights, along with "giving hugs" to teachers.The episode concludes with a heartwarming revelation - all three interviewees are the host's grandchildren, making this not just an educational exploration but a family affair. Listen now to hear these refreshing perspectives that remind us why connecting with students of all ages matters so much in education. What young student in your life has shared wisdom that surprised you? We'd love to hear your stories!

Middle Ground with JLE L.L.C. “Where We Treat You Like Family” welcomes former Data Collector/Enumerator, Substitute Teacher, Author, Freelance Writer at Write By Steph, Owner of Malench Publishing, LLC and Owner/Publisher at Collinsville Daily News Stephanie Malench as she shares her journey from volunteer to Newspaper Owner.

Send us a textEvery substitute teacher knows that what works in one classroom might fail spectacularly in another. This revelation hit me hard recently when several teaching strategies I'd successfully employed with teenagers created unexpected chaos among elementary students.

Send us a textThe countdown to summer vacation has begun, with only two weeks of school remaining. As substitute teachers prepare to wrap up another academic year, the temptation to make certain end-of-year decisions looms large – but not all of these choices serve your long-term interests as an educator.

Send us a textEver wonder what life is really like for substitute teachers navigating classrooms in today's educational landscape? This candid conversation with Felice, a substitute teacher from the Houston suburbs, pulls back the curtain on this vital yet often overlooked profession.Felice brings a remarkably diverse background to her role, having worked as a Department of Commerce geographic specialist and an air quality planner before eventually finding her way into education. After five years as a certified elementary teacher specializing in science, she transitioned to substitute teaching for the flexibility and variety it offers. Her unique perspective bridges the gap between full-time educators and substitutes, giving her valuable insights into effective classroom management and building meaningful connections with students.Throughout our discussion, Felice shares the genuine rewards of substitute teaching—from witnessing those "lightbulb moments" when concepts click for students to the freedoms of choosing when and where to teach. She doesn't shy away from the challenges either, addressing head-on the post-COVID behavioral issues many students exhibit, the frustration of missing lesson plans, and the need for flexibility when suddenly reassigned to different classrooms. Her story of improvising a 20-minute motivational talk when technology failed illustrates the quick thinking required in this role.What makes this episode particularly valuable is Felice's practical advice for both new and experienced substitutes. From how she maintains classroom order with brain teasers and proximity techniques to her philosophy of treating each assignment as a job interview, her strategies translate across grade levels and subject areas. Whether you're considering substitute teaching, are already in the classroom, or simply curious about education today, Felice's story offers both inspiration and actionable takeaways for creating positive learning environments despite the inherent challenges.

Send us a textBreaking my own rule of "never below third grade," I recently stepped into a first-grade classroom as a substitute teacher and discovered a whole new world of teaching challenges and rewards. The experience was so transformative that I couldn't wait to share what makes seven-year-olds uniquely different from other elementary grades.First graders operate in a heightened emotional state that manifests in three primary ways. First, there's the crying – whether from playground injuries, perceived slights from classmates, or frustration with classroom tasks. I quickly learned to crouch down to eye level, acknowledge their feelings, and gently guide them forward without dismissing their emotions. Then comes the "creative storytelling" when they make mistakes. While my high school technique of "you'll get in less trouble for telling the truth" works with teenagers, first graders haven't developed that level of maturity yet. Finally, there's the constant neediness – a forest of raised hands, endless questions, and students hovering around your desk from the moment they arrive until dismissal.What surprised me most wasn't these challenges but how much I enjoyed navigating them. There's something refreshingly authentic about working with children who haven't yet learned to mask their feelings or needs. The connections formed are different than with older students – more immediate and unfiltered. Walking through the cafeteria to find students from various classes excitedly waving created a special kind of joy that made the challenges worthwhile. So much so that I immediately scheduled more first-grade assignments in the coming weeks.For substitute teachers who typically stick with older grades, I encourage you to step outside your comfort zone. You might discover, as I did, that the youngest learners offer unique rewards that change your entire perspective on teaching. And who knows? Maybe my upcoming kindergarten assignment (in my grandson's class, no less!) will provide even more insights for next week's episode.

After a substitute teacher was caught encouraging students to fight

Send us a textSubstitute teaching comes with unexpected social dynamics that we rarely discuss openly. What happens when students loudly proclaim you're their "favorite substitute" while another sub stands nearby? Should you feel proud or guilty when teachers request you instead of other substitutes? Today's episode dives into these delicate situations and explores the sometimes awkward relationships between substitute teachers.I share personal experiences from my recent months in the classroom - moments when students approach me in hallways asking which class I'm teaching, teachers who express their preference for me over their assigned substitute, and the subtle (or not-so-subtle) tension these interactions create with other substitutes. Rather than feeling guilty about these moments of recognition, I've learned to appreciate them while remaining sensitive to how they might affect my substitute colleagues.The reality is that substitute teaching can sometimes feel like a competition, with certain subs developing reputations as the "cool" or "preferred" options. Like my past experiences as a volleyball referee, I've noticed how quickly this can create a hierarchy that breeds resentment. Instead of participating in this dynamic, I suggest focusing on building positive relationships with students, teachers, AND fellow substitutes. Remember that different personality types can be equally effective in the classroom - your authentic approach matters more than trying to be the most popular sub in the building.Looking ahead to summer, I'm excited to announce a new interview series featuring substitute teachers from our Facebook community! We'll gather perspectives from across the country (maybe even worldwide) to learn from each other's experiences. Make sure to follow the podcast so you don't miss these upcoming conversations with fellow subs who understand exactly what you're experiencing in the classroom.

This deeply reflective episode explores the delicate art of addressing student conflicts while maintaining dignity for everyone involved.Drawing unexpected connections between spring break viewing experiences—from 1970s home movies to the Minecraft film—Greg Collins shares powerful insights about witnessing and addressing student mistreatment. The episode reveals surprisingly effective intervention strategies tailored to different age groups, from the simple yet profound question "Do you feel good about yourself right now?" for elementary students to the strategic chair-placement technique that works wonders with high schoolers.

Started off with an American YouTuber arrested for landing on uncontacted tribe island, then talked about Israel caught lying about the murder of aid workers. Plus the South Korea president finally removed, French politician barred from seeking office, tons about the Trump tariffs, and an 81 year old substitute teacher caught pleasuring himself in an elementary school classroom.

Send us a textTeachers and substitute teachers never truly turn off their "teacher brain," even during spring break. Like comedians and songwriters, educators are constantly collecting experiences, images, and stories that can engage students and improve classroom learning.• Spring break provides opportunities to gather visual aids that capture student attention better than lectures alone• Personal photos from places like the Alamo or experiences like holding a sloth create immediate student engagement• Sharing vacation mishaps (like losing passports or falling in public) teaches students that everyone makes mistakes• Real-world examples and personal stories create memorable learning moments students remember• Visual elements help regain attention when students inevitably get distracted• Even unplanned vacation experiences can become valuable classroom resourcesKeep your mind open during spring break. Look for photos, stories, and objects that might enhance your teaching—but remember to enjoy your well-deserved time off too.

Send us a textFinding the sweet spot between following a regular teacher's lesson plans and bringing your authentic self to the classroom—that's the balance every substitute teacher must strike.

Send us a textPhysical boundaries in education have always required careful navigation, but today we're tackling the subject that many teachers hesitate to discuss openly – classroom hugs. Drawing from seven years of substitute teaching experience across elementary, middle, and high school settings, I'm sharing personal observations, experiences, and guidelines that have shaped my approach to this sensitive topic.

Send us a textHave you ever caught yourself rambling to a classroom of increasingly glazed-over eyes? You're not alone. Inspired by Henry Winkler's candid admission about losing acting roles due to excessive talking, this episode dives deep into the complex world of classroom communication. As someone who self-identifies as verbose, I share personal strategies for managing my "gift of gab"—including the somewhat humbling practice of giving students permission to call me out when I talk too much. But this isn't just about those of us who can't stop talking; it's equally relevant for the quiet educators who might need to step further out of their shells.Throughout our conversation, we explore both ends of the communication spectrum, from the rambling storyteller to the terse responder, examining how each approach affects student engagement and comfort. I share revealing anecdotes about student interactions, like discovering fourth-graders prefer substitutes who use their generation's slang, and how my tendency to launch into tangential stories sometimes leaves students more confused than before I tried helping them.The goal isn't to fundamentally change your personality but to find that elusive communication sweet spot where students feel both guided and respected. Whether you're naturally talkative or reserved, achieving the right balance makes you both approachable and efficient—the hallmark of truly effective teaching.Ready to reflect on your own classroom communication style? Listen now, and maybe catch yourself before your next five-minute explanation turns into a fifteen-minute monologue that has students wondering what the original question was!

This old school educational trick could change your classroom… Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon are meeting in the dojo on this week's episode of Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers. In a world so focused on grades and tangible achievements, we often forget to ask what's best for education? This week they are going to go over odd classroom tendencies that teachers claim are absolute game changers for education.  Now we all know that education is hyper focused on subjects like math and science, but do you think that it would be more beneficial to focus on encouraging creativity to shape their young minds? Today our hosts are going to be discussing the pros and cons of sending your kids to a specialized art school and how it can impact their overall education. Speaking of alternative ways of teaching, we got news of one teacher who decided it was a good idea to teach karate in their classroom. Now we don't want to give away too much, but the results were interesting to say the least. Not only does it teach valuable skills, but it also helps release their built-up energy (and maybe some frustration, too).  Finally, have we strayed too far from tradition? Far gone are the days of using pen and paper and looking at physical report cards. With the rise of technology, are students and parents losing valuable skills, or is technology innovating education? Tune in to hear our take!   Support the Podcast on Patreon: patreon.com/cryinginmycar    Follow Devin at http://DevinComedy.com  https://www.tiktok.com/@devincomedy?lang=en  https://www.instagram.com/devinsiebold/  https://x.com/teachercomic    Follow James at http://JamesYon.com  https://www.tiktok.com/@jamesyoncomedy  https://www.instagram.com/jamesyoncomedian/    Jump right in! 2:15 – Unlocking Success Through Arts 7:30 – From Karate Kid to Master 13:45 – Substitute Teachers' Classroom Revelations 20:20 – Comic Relief for Teacher Burnout 28:30 – Creative Sparks in Education 34:50 – Navigating Student Behavior   So grab your gi and make sure your white belt is on tight because you'll need it on this week's episode of Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers.  _________________________________________________________ Crying In My Car Podcast with Devin Siebold & James Yon

This episode contains: Ben welcomes a special guest host: Flint Lawless. Steven and Devon are off dealing with family illness and work commitments, so you know what that means! Well, we don't actually talk about video games at all this one (I know, right?).   Future or Now:   The Magic Eye: Remember autostereograms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostereogram)? Stereograms are 2D images that create the illusion of a 3D scene by exploiting the way our eyes perceive depth. "Magic Eye" images are a popular form of autostereogram. Learn how to see Magic Eye images here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdWNYdk-vWY.   As a kid, Ben would spend hours looking at Magic Eye books, and it felt like magic because most everybody else didn't see them. He was like a wizard. Recently, he came across an article about using Excel of all things to create Magic Eye images (https://divisbyzero.com/2024/11/30/make-a-magic-eye-image-using-excel/) but guess who has two thumbs and doesn't have Excel? This guy! Turns out there's an easy to use free online tool for making autostereograms (https://www.easystereogrambuilder.com/). He also found a music video that was a moving stereogram (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AKtp3XHn38). Flint was curious, but completely perplexed because he doesn't know how to see them yet.   “Book Club”:   Next week: WHERE RABBITS COME FROM, a French animated short film that's being shopped around for awards this season.

It's good! And we start comparing it to Farscape, Star Trek: Prodigy and One Piece. It's a sweet Goonies-like mystery. The Republic likes to hide planets for some reason… maybe they're not exactly the good guys? Flint and Ben discuss the morally gray areas of stories where the “forces of good” make questionable decisions that lead to positive and negative consequences.
