“Homeschool day 4: forget about the War of 1812, today we are learning about the East Coast/West Coast war of 1996,” read a meme Melissa posted on her Story, which included a side by side photo of Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G.

All jokes aside, Melissa actually is a certified elementary school teacher, which she revealed during an episode of the Season 9 After Show

“I’m certified K-3,” Melissa explained. “When I graduated college, I got hired for a third grade classroom. You know, [Joe] was kind of persuading me to not accept the job. He was like, ‘We don’t need you to go to work, and when I want to go on vacation, you don’t need to have a boss telling you you can’t.’ And I was like, ‘OK you know, you’re right, we’ll grow our business.’”
