After years in the classroom, and I can tell you two things for certain: teaching is the most rewarding job I know, and it runs entirely on coffee, patience, and a sense of humor.
Somewhere between grading stacks of papers, chasing down missing assignments, and hearing the most creative excuses imaginable (“my little brother used it as a coloring page” is a personal favorite), I realized something. Teachers are some of the funniest people out there. We have to be. And yet when I went looking for t-shirts that actually spoke to our world, I kept finding the same things: apple graphics, “teach, love, inspire” slogans, and designs that just didn’t sound like me or any teacher I know.
So I decided to make my own.
So whether you’re a first-year teacher surviving on enthusiasm or a veteran who’s seen every excuse in the book, there’s a shirt here with your name on it (or at least your sense of humor).
Thank you for supporting a small, teacher-owned business. Now go enjoy that cup of coffee while it’s still hot. We both know it won’t last.
