Standardized Trauma T-shirt | Graphic Tee for Academia

A t-shirt that explains what is really going on

For teachers who care too much in a system that doesn’t care enough. Brought to you by the Department of Unrealistic Expectations.

From grading mountains of meaningless assessments to watching creativity die at the hands of district-approved rubrics, this funny t-shirt is for the educators who’ve been through it — repeatedly, annually, and with mandatory PD hours to boot.

The "Standardized Trauma" graphic tee speaks to the faculty-wide fatigue of turning passion into paperwork. It's the burnout from data-driven everything. It's the emotional scarring caused by being asked to “just teach to the test” while also “fostering lifelong learners.
