Untidy Teacher

I’m sharing a story that genuinely melted my heart and reminded me why I love teaching so dang much.

A new student joined our class, and what happened next was one of the purest, sweetest displays of kindness I’ve ever seen. My second graders stepped up in ways that made me stop, watch, and think, “Wow… kids are truly better humans than us.” Their empathy, their excitement, their instinct to include... Honestly, adults could never.

If you need a little faith-in-humanity boost or a reminder of the magic inside a classroom, this episode is going to hit you right in the feels.

What is Untidy Teacher?

Welcome to Untidy Teacher—your backstage pass to the wild, messy, and meaningful world of elementary school. I’m Mrs. Harrison, a second-grade teacher spilling the real tea from inside the classroom. It’s chaotic, it’s honest, and it might just make you laugh, cry, or want to hug a teacher.
