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

Ep. 40 - Why Discipline and Admin "Support" Is Often Frustrating

Scara

One student. One year. Zero real consequences.

In this episode of Bad Teacher Tales, I read through an actual discipline record and unpack how “nothing happening” keeps behavior going and burns teachers out. If you’ve ever wondered why classrooms feel chaotic or why teachers are exhausted… this one explains a lot.

✨ 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.
