About this podcast
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.
