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.
