SCHOOLED: A Love Letter to the Exhausting, Infuriating, Occasionally Excruciating Yet Somehow Completely Wonderful Profession of Teaching
Laugh-Out-Loud Stories from a Teacher Who’s Not Afraid to Call’em Like She Sees’em
FEATURED WRITER + BESTSELLING AUTHOR
English teacher by trade, smack talker by nature, Stephanie Jankowski subscribes to the mantra: Life is too short, laugh! A mother of three in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she spends way too much time caring if her kids' socks match.
Stephanie is a freelance writer for We Are Teachers, published in the bestselling parenting humor anthologies I Just Want to Be Alone, The Big Book of Parenting Tweets, and The Bigger Book of Parenting Tweets, and co-directs the annual live-reading celebration of motherhood, Listen To Your Mother Pittsburgh. She also makes a mean ham barbecue, but unless you're a 'Yinzer,' that probably means nothing to you.
Her blog, When Crazy Meets Exhaustion, is full of hilariously sassy musings on being a woman, mother, and educator. Steph was famous for six seconds when her pieces I Put My Husband First and The Worst Mother I've Ever Seen went viral in 6 different countries and more than 10 languages. Her parents still think she caught the flu from the Internet.

“Stephanie is not only a hilarious and truthful voice in the blogosphere, but she is a complete dynamite, too. She rallied her audience in a contest to bring my book tour to her hometown, and managed not only to win the evening, but be a highlight of the entire tour. Her energy and enthusiasm is simply contagious and shines both on the screen, and off.”

“Reading Stephanie is like sitting down with your funniest girlfriend for a bottomless cup of coffee. Her writing is so authentic, sometimes I feel like I can actually hear her voice. I see big things in Stephanie’s future as a writer.“
