Book Reviews

After I quit teaching, I realized I had a lot of trauma around the profession. From parents, administration, and even the students. I taught for 12 years through good times and bad. Through amazing and challenging students. Through different teaching philosophies.


I started my blog: SCANDALOUSTEACHER as a cathartic way to navigate my trauma, to remind myself of the good things, and to teach about the Behind-the-Scenes in a classroom.
