About Bad Teacher Tales: Real talk stories and advice for teachers and those who love them.
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to Bad Teacher Tales, where each week we share the good, the bad, and the “what the hell?!” of daily teacher life. We’ll expose workplace woes that range from unrealistic to impossibly…
asinine. We’ll postulate on parental problems and admin antics. We might even learn a helpful tip or trick, and while we may be “Bad” teachers, we will always leave remembering our Why…those beautiful, bright, baffling, students!
