About this listen

Teacher Misery perfectly encapsulates the comical misery that has become the teaching profession. Jane Morris's strange, funny, and sometimes unbelievable teaching experiences are told through a collection of short stories, essays, and artifacts including real emails from parents, students, and administrators.

From the parents who blame their son's act of arson on the teacher for causing him low self-esteem, to the student who offers to teach the teacher how to sell drugs so she can pay her bills, to the administrator whose best advice is to "treat kids like sacks of shit", one story is more shocking than the next.

An important audiobook for teachers and non-teachers alike, Teacher Misery paints an amusing and thoroughly entertaining picture of what has become of our education system, without detracting from the overall point that what teachers have to put up with today is complete, utter, unacceptable insanity.

Hilarious and accurate account of teaching

Lots of great stories about teaching and what it is really like. Being a teacher myself, a lot of her stories were very relatable. However, I didn't always agree with her opinion on certain situations or topics. Although I would have handled some things differently than the author, overall it was a fun listen. Amazing narrator!

Feel less alone in your own misery.

The experiences shared seem outrageous and sadly would ring true to many educators. Loved it!
