Joey recounts a chaotic teaching disaster involving false credentials, bizarre behavior, and a co-teacher who couldn’t keep reality straight. Chris shares the heartbreak of being “scarlet-lettered” by a school adviser after being asked if he was gay, and how the fallout affected his DECA team and college years. Alexis tells a shocking story about a charter school biology teacher pushing pseudoscience, undermining medication, and crossing major boundaries with students.
