In this special "off-studio" episode, the Teachers After Dark crew wraps up 2024 in style—over a breakfast I was bullied into cooking! Teachers LOVE bullet points, so let's get into:
- The best (and worst) holiday gifts we got from students this year.
- That insane pre-break checkout list, complete with accommodations logs and the wildest parent/student requests we’ve ever seen.
- The resurfaced debate about school shootings: Should teachers really be expected to sacrifice themselves for their students? Plus, we share our thoughts on safety plans and why kids just don’t take them seriously.
- The latest drama from a certain special education “advocate” who’s actually a grifter stirring up chaos online.
- Texas-style makeup attendance hours: Chess club to replace missed Geometry? Only in Texas!
- A deep dive into parent entitlement (because they always keep us talking).
Finally, we reflect on the highs and lows of 2024, share our gratitude for you, our listeners, and welcome in 2025.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
