People think librarians sit quietly and read all day.
Jess is here to gently… and accurately… destroy that myth.

From managing chaos to supporting students in ways no one sees, this clip breaks down what librarians actually do during a school day. Spoiler: it’s not silent, slow, or simple.

If you’ve ever underestimated a school librarian, or if you are one and feel wildly unseen, this episode will feel personal.

✨ Welcome to Bad Teacher Tales

The storytelling podcast where teachers finally get to say the things they can’t (but want to) say at PD, staff meetings, or parent conferences.

Every week, we share real teacher stories that are funny, shocking, heartbreaking, relatable, and sometimes downright unbelievable. If you’re a current teacher, former teacher, student teacher, or someone who just loves a good “you won’t believe what happened at school” moment… you’re in the right place.

🎧 Listen to full episodes,
🎥 Watch reactions and breakdowns,
💬 Share your own tales,
and join a community of educators who get it.

We’re here for the burned-out, the overworked, the fine arts warriors, the elementary heroes, the SPED champions, and everyone in between.

Grab a drink. It’s story time.
