This week on Teachers Off Duty, Brian, Jess, and Leslie dive into one of the hottest (and most hilarious) debates in education right now: Should we ban cell phones in school?

From brutal bathroom fights and TikTok trends to mental health and emergency safety concerns, the crew tackles it all, sprinkled with their signature chaos and comedy, of course. Leslie shares how Virginia’s new statewide ban is unfolding, Jess reflects on her own screen-time parenting struggles, and Brian confesses to being personally victimized by the comment section.

Plus, they talk about kids turning teachers into memes, the dystopian rise of Life360, and the awkward silence that comes when everyone has to put their phones away—including the teacher.

As the gang debates classroom control, digital addiction, and how to parent (or teach) through the noise, one thing becomes clear—there are no easy answers. But with a lot of empathy and a little humor, they explore how teachers can create healthier boundaries with tech while still preparing students for a digital world. Oh, and spoiler alert: stretchy jeans, nostalgic field trips, and Candy Crush all make a surprising appearance too.

Whether you’re Team “Lock It in a Pouch” or “Let Them Listen to Music,” this episode is packed with laughs, reflection, and some real talk about tech, teaching, and the world our kids are growing up in.
