Because public education is already a punchline.
Truth from the Trenches
We exist to explore the underbelly of American campuses with humor, snark and satire, amplifying real voices by uncovering untold stories lurking in classrooms. We collect "Wait, what?" moments, prove insights come from trenches not textbooks, expose educational absurdity, and uplift teaching's spirit.
