edit data

Jane started teaching high school English in 2007 with stars in her eyes and hope in her heart, ready to inspire every jaded adolescent and save the world through literature. Within the first few weeks, she realized that the job was more than she bargained for and would probably lead to her early death.

To cope with the chaos, she started making sarcastic jokes about teaching on social media, and she was relieved to find an entire community of teachers who were also outraged and miserable in a profession that was nothing like they imagined it would be.

The Teacher Misery community has grown to over 450K followers across multiple social media platforms, and four comedic teaching memoirs in print.

Quotes by Jane Morris (?)

“When this job feels overwhelming, remind yourself that one day you will die!”
― Jane Morris, Teacher Misery: Helicopter Parents, Special Snowflakes and Other Bullshit

“I’ve been doing this a long time and the best advice I can give you is to treat every student like a sack of shit, and then they will respect you.” At this point, I wasn’t going to argue with her.”
― Jane Morris, Teacher Misery: Helicopter Parents, Special Snowflakes and Other Bullshit

“If a parent is willing to call their adult child’s workplace to advocate for them, it is no surprise that they had harassed teachers and administration until they got what they felt their child deserved. It is a cycle of never-ending entitlement that leads to mediocrity. It starts with a parent pestering a teacher to get an undeserved grade for their child. Then they manipulate their kid’s way into college, or they get into college with grades they didn’t earn. Next, when the kid gets a job for skills and education that look good on paper but weren’t actually merited, they end up losing their job. And so far, parents cannot save a kid from being fired for poor work performance… at least not yet.”
