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

Scara

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!

What do you do when the tapping Just. Won't. Stop.
FINAL EPISODE THIS SEASON! I will return mid-January with an all-new season while you catch up on any un-played episodes! BUT... a special episode featuring information and opinions from three HISD, state-run schools will appear in the $5 Patreon and Buzzfeed feed soon! (See below for support links.)Today's Guest Host is... SLY!
Sly has been an educator for 13 years (as of 2023). She has taught elementary music and choir, ages PK-12. She first became interested in music in 4th grade when she was chosen to play the bell set for a song during the spring concert. This sparked a deep excitement to learn other instruments and join band. Continuing in college and realizing band was THE reason she showed up for school, Sly found her path. Taking her first job teaching K-8 music in the inner-city, never dreaming she’d end up teaching choir, but she is truly enjoying it! Sly loves her quirky middle school students, but when school is out, you can find her spending time with her amazing daughter and friends. When life gets overwhelming Sly likes to kick back with video games, baking, reading, puzzles, diamond art, or one of the other 643 crafts she’s started. She fully believes the sending memes, gifs, and funny videos to friends counts as a love language.
