Once upon a time, Brandon thought teaching would be “fulfilling.”
Fifteen years later, he’s grading ChatGPT essays about The Outsiders, divorced twice, and still waiting for God to text back.
Meet Brandon:
A Man with Regrets
The Book:
Glorified Babysitter
Part memoir, part cry for help,
Brandon’s recount tells the tale of one man’s tragic journey from “inspired educator” to “emotionally bankrupt caffeine addict.”
Expect dark humor, bad decisions, and just enough trauma to make you feel better about your own life choices.
Stories you wish
that you made up...

A “threesome” invite that turned out to be an exorcism...
A student who maybe, possibly, killed someone...
And the crushing realization that teaching is basically retail, just with more tears and paperwork...
​
Laugh. Cry. Judge. Then thank whatever higher power you believe in that you’re not him.
