Bad Teacher Tales: Real talk stories and advice for teachers and those who love them.
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!
Bad Teacher Tales: Real talk stories and advice for teachers and those who love them.
S.1 - Ep. 6: Will You Smell My Hand | Re-Teach
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What do you do when a student proudly hands you a baggie full of coins for the class party… but there’s something else inside you never expected to find?
At first, it seems like a simple bag of coins. Loose change collected from pockets, couch cushions, maybe even weeks of saving—just so they could have some pizza.
But then you open it.
Something mixed in with the coins that doesn’t belong. Something that has a distinct... odor. Something that instantly turns an ordinary school day into an experience you’ll never forget.
✨ 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.
