Thank you so much for this episode. I really needed it..

He shaped the podcast and kept it going POSTpls

I think I’ve found my kindred spirit in Jess.. like East Coast meets West Coast in the teaching world! I just came across this podcast and knew it was love at first listen! I seriously could’ve titled this myself as I’m constantly telling my inner circle not to mind me and my shenanigans because I’m the conductor of my own #hotmessexpress, then add in the teacher element, and BOOM, insert this podcast!!! Jess keeps it real, doesn’t sugar coat what the job is, and has become in the post-covid classroom, but still portrays her love of the job through humor and sad realities. Gearing up to start year 19 and digging deep to rally to just get into the classroom to set up, Jess reminds us that we’re not alone in the wild, crazy ride! THANK YOU!

I wish I had this while active teaching . Jess is amazing as well as Vinnie ( he was super funny) and their banter was enjoyable! But I’m super glad that Jess will Continue while Vinnie is on to other ventures. Her content is spot on . I highly recommend this cast for all educators 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is one of my absolute favorite podcasts! Keep them coming!

I have only recently found this podcast and I’ve totally binged it to catch up. I love listening and the banter reminds me of my husband (he’s British too!) and I when we talk about the differences in the US and the UK education system. Thank you for bringing quality discussions about teachers and education to the table. Love, Love, Love!

I have listened to several episodes, and I really enjoy listening to Jess. I’m unfollowing for the moment though. Only till Vinny is gone. He’s hilarious, but whines a little too much for my taste.

I was a huge fan of the show. However, the latest episode is bothersome. Vinny comments how some TPT sellers who left the classroom are “exploiting” themselves by making money off teachers. That is harsh and ironic coming from someone who has made money off teachers on a podcast and comedy tour. I agree that fake staged classrooms is wrong, but what is wrong with teachers earning an income helping other teachers by providing them with resources that make their lives easier.

A conversation between two people just doesn’t seem as dynamic on the comedy front. However, all of the stories are very relatable if you are a teacher.

I have followed Bored Teachers on social media for a while but becoming a librarian made me connect even more and listening to Jess’ podcast is the best way to unwind after a day of being a hot mess teacher express!

I’m immediately finding you on all the social media and becoming best virtual friends. Jess makes me feel better about my own hot mess, while actually being so inspirationally put together. SHE GETS IT! 10/10 would recommend.

This show is so fun to listen to as a student because I learn how teachers feel, and I’ve only ever had one teacher who has been real with me. I love getting a look at a teacher’s point of view, and what they have to put up with.

I’m a nurse turned teacher and attending Liberty University. Your show is so relateable And I’m reference to your first episode... thank you for telling me I won’t have to write 10 page lessons plans in the real world 🤪 also I should have been a teacher a long time ago as well... but I was running away!

I’m only on episode one and I love it Also you should change your podcast name to Jess’s hot mess teacher express!!!!!! Thanks for making my fall asleep easily And for making the podcast!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks

My first time listening to this show and it was such an amazing episode for me. This second to last week of school with so much piled on us is so draining, then the tragedy in Texas breaking us. Thank you for this reminder💕

I cannot even put into words how this hit me! Please, interview me one day. I’ve been teaching for over 25 years. Currently in my place of 16 years with 4 year olds. I have SO much to say! LOVE this pod cast, LOVE you! It’s not always sunshine & rainbows !!

I love teaching and I love this podcast. Jess keeps it real and keeps me laughing. I typically listen to this podcast when I go for a walk. It’s my form of self care!

I love how REAL this fancy lady is; what a great reminder for us all! We all have hard days, great days, meh days. Jess highlights the joy in all and allows us to find someone else who… “Oh ya, I’ve done that.” Thank you, lady. You are such a blessing!!!

Absolutely LOVE this podcast! It brightens my day and gives me the fuel I need to keep on chugging along! If you are a teacher (or friend/relative/spouse of a teacher) and you haven’t listened yet, get yourself a ticket to this hot mess express! You won’t regret it!

I love listening to Jess! She’s great, has fantastic ideas and is so real and down to earth. I feel like we’re chatting on the phone while I listen to her podcasts. She’s sassy and silly and oh so real. She’s the best teacher friend you’ll ever have!

I’ve been a follower of Jess on Instagram for a long time and have used her TPT resources for even longer. I am going into my 9th year teaching and having a podcast to listen to that speaks to the hardships of teaching and the importance of self care has been such a huge breath of fresh air!! All aboard the hot mess express!!

The first episode I listened to was #5. As a second year teacher going into my third year this episode spoke to my soul. It is a relief to know that I am not alone in my feelings! I knew teacher burn out was a thing but I did not expect to feel it my second year in. Thank you for bringing this issue to light and letting other teachers know they are not alone!

I’m about to start my first year teaching in August 2021. I am so excited, and this podcast has given me great insight to the fun and struggles of what teachers experience. Can’t wait for more episodes, and more tips as I start my own Spanish Teaching journey!

I came into my first year teaching in January of 2021, and it was a roller coaster. There were so many ups and downs, but I learned so much. I happy that I found this podcast. Jess is so funny and her guests are great. 💛

Teachers unite! The host, Jess Smith, wants teachers everywhere to know that they are not alone in the hot-mess-express known as teaching. In the first episode, "Hot Mess School of Education", Jess reflects on her path to teaching and some of the frustrations of the past year. She also comedically gives a lesson on how to perfect the "teacher-student staredown", the "art of the nod", "bladder control", "thriving through procrastination", "disguising the tired", and more. If you are a teacher and looking for a relatable podcast fueled by humor, give the "Hot Mess Teacher Express" Podcast a listen.

FINALLY a teacher podcast that is relatable. I give it the biggest gold star. ⭐️

I love Jess’s videos and this is one more way to laugh and know we’re not alone.

With the 2020-2021 school year being what it is/was, this podcast I needed in the worst way. I have laughed so hard and it makes me feel so much better becasue I no longer feel alone.

Love this podcast.....whether you are new to teaching or have been doing this for years, this podcast will have you rolling on the floor laughing (just make sure it’s not your classroom carpet...Eeww) CANNOT WAIT for more episodes!!!

I’m in school to get my degree in Elementary Education and this podcast has me in stitches. I loved the mandatory classes Jess thinks all new teachers should take. Ha!

Let me adjust my messy bun. ...... loved it. Relatable

Loved this first podcast! It’s relatable, I don’t feel alone in my teaching experience AND I feel like I know Jess even without meeting her!

This podcast is wonderful! It’s honest and amazing. As a second year teacher this is honest and fantastic

After watching you on YouTube I have to tell you, I have such a profound respect for your profession. And it is a profession with professionals doing a thankless job. I wish that I had such a great teacher like you back in the stone age when I went to school. You really are good at what you do.

I am a new teacher (just graduated in 2020!) and this is such an awesome show so far. I can’t wait to hear all the tips and tricks about teaching!

I love to listen to the stories...so real and relatable. I sit here and laugh and love the honesty.

I love the honesty and that you keep it real.

Bored teachers helps me get through the tough times of teaching! If I’m not laughing I’m going to cry... episode one again helps us teachers laugh about things that could make the lesser teachers cry!

Jess occasionally pops up on my social and as a first year teacher I love to listen to the humor and compare to my own experience through deciding to be a teacher!

Jess is hilarious, and I found myself nodding along the entire time! She really finds a way to take what we love to do and find the humor in it.

I am an up and coming teacher and love how honest she is about teaching. I can not wait to here more.

I relate to EVERY word, Jess!!!

I love the memes and can totally relate. Can’t wait for this to begin!

Have a feeling this is going to be my new favorite podcast!
