The Teacher's Lounge Unedited

Teaching is hard. Every week, Chad and Mike dive headfirst into the crazy as we share our unedited stories about the struggles, the triumphs, and those fun/not so fun awkward moments we face in the classroom. Whether you're a fellow teacher, a parent, obvious t-shirts (endorsement welcome) or just love a good laugh, we hope you can relate.

Chad

Chad is a veteran middle school history teacher with over 20 years of experience wrangling hormonal tweens while passionately sharing stories of the past. A die-hard Chicago Cubs fan and loyal supporter of the Iowa Hawkeyes, Chad can often be found yelling at the TV during games—or muttering about the "good ol’ days" of sports.

When he’s not in the classroom or cheering on his teams, Chad is spending time with his wife and their three kids, who still somehow manage to keep him on his toes. With a knack for turning history into hilarity, Chad brings a unique blend of wisdom, wit, and world-class dad jokes to every episode of Teachers Lounge Unedited.
