Bad Teacher Tales: Real talk stories and advice for teachers and those who love them.

Welcome to a special bonus episode of Bad Teacher Tales where things get a little… chillier than usual. 🧊 Today, I’m putting my son in the hot seat — or frozen tent — and asking him questions about one very serious topic: if he could plan a field trip, what would it be? He chose Antarctica. 🧊❄️ I asked him to explain how they’d get there and his answers had me laughing way harder than I should have. You’re not ready for his Antarctica field trip plan. You do not want to miss this one.

✨ Welcome to Bad Teacher Tales

The storytelling podcast where teachers finally get to say the things they can’t (but want to) say at PD, staff meetings, or parent conferences.

Every week, we share real teacher stories that are funny, shocking, heartbreaking, relatable, and sometimes downright unbelievable. If you’re a current teacher, former teacher, student teacher, or someone who just loves a good “you won’t believe what happened at school” moment… you’re in the right place.

🎧 Listen to full episodes,
🎥 Watch reactions and breakdowns,
💬 Share your own tales,
and join a community of educators who get it.

We’re here for the burned-out, the overworked, the fine arts warriors, the elementary heroes, the SPED champions, and everyone in between.

Grab a drink. It’s story time.

In this episode of Bad Teacher Tales, Scara shares a teacher's experience with a lockdown “drill” that wasn’t. Teachers and students panicked, and the chaos was 100% real — even if the danger wasn’t. Scara breaks down the fallout, the frantic texts, and the moments that made everyone question the outcome.
