Description

Some days the lesson plan wins. Some days the couch does.

The Playing Hooky tee is a wink to every teacher who has ever eyed the clock and imagined a lazy afternoon instead. The graphic piles up the whole beautiful mess of the job: a cluttered desk, a well-earned coffee mug, the classic apple, and "Playing Hooky" arched overhead in bold graffiti-style lettering. It reads like an inside joke with your grade-level team, funny to the people who get it and harmless to the ones who don't.

It's built on the Gildan 64000 Soft Style T-Shirt, so it's light, breathable, and soft enough to wear through a double period or a full Saturday. The print stays crisp wash after wash, which matters when a shirt becomes a favorite fast. Pair it with jeans for a casual staff meet-up, a field trip, spirit day, or the first glorious morning of summer break.

Made for Educators by Educators?

Homeroom Humor wasn't started in a boardroom, it was born in a middle school. Brought into existence by an Autistic Support Paraprofessional and a Science Teacher who were tired of buying scratchy, stiff and uncomfortable tees with generic sayings. Our tees are Witty, Funny, Comfy and Classroom Ready. They will be comfy enough to not regret on a Monday morning and durable enough to last till Friday. You deserve a t-shirt that gets it.

Built to Last thru Friday

Built to last through every school year, every wash, and every "why is there glitter on this again" moment. Double-needle stitching at the shoulder, armhole, neck, waistband, and sleeves means this tee holds up to repeated wear without falling apart — unlike your patience on a Friday afternoon.

The quarter-turned seamless collar keeps its shape over time and stays crease-free, so it looks as good on week fifty as it did on day one.

And the tear-away label means no scratchy tag digging into your neck during a six-hour school day. You're welcome.

Free & Easy Returns

Love your tee or your money back. Simple as that. No essays, no rubrics, no partial credit — just a full refund within 30 days if it's not for you.

Every USA order is also printed and shipped right here in the States, because we're as American as a school bake sale and proud of it.

Three colorful graphic t-shirts for teachers are displayed in a styled flat-lay arrangement with school-themed props like pencils, a mug, an apple, and a notebook. The shirts feature various humorous and inspirational teacher slogans.

Comfortable Enough to Forget You're at Work

Our T-Shirts are made by Educators for Educators. So you can believe that they will be soft enough to survive a staff meeting. Sturdy enough to outlast the school year. Our tees are built for the person who gives everything from bell to bell — and still has opinions about the copy machine in the staff lounge that is too far away, always has a line, and is almost always jammed.

Wear what you love. Especially when what you love is making it very clear how you feel about Mondays.

FAQs

Where are you located?

We're a Pennsylvania-born company that prints every shirt right here in the USA.
Our tees roll off presses in North Carolina and Texas, straight to your door. No overseas mysteries, just good tees made close to home. You've waited long enough. Probably for a sub that never showed up.

Do you ship internationally?

Good news — we ship to all 50 U.S. states. In the future we have plans to provide shipping to our neighbors in Canada, because funny is funny no matter which side of the border you're teaching on. Our Shipping rates are set to free shipping for any order over $75.00, and a flat rate of $4.95 for any order up to $74.99, so pop over to our shipping policy page for the details.

When will I receive my order?

We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location. Most people receive their orders within a week. Fulfillment takes 3 - 5 days, and we ship Standard USPS shipping which takes 3-5 business days.

Will I get a tracking number for my order?

Once your order ships, we'll send you a tracking email with everything you need to stalk — er, follow — your package all the way to your doorstep. No refreshing required. (Okay, maybe a little refreshing.)
It's like a hall pass, but for your tees.

What materials are your products made of?

Our tees are made with soft, high-quality materials that can handle whatever the school day throws at them — and trust us, we know what gets thrown. Cozy enough for your couch, tough enough for the classroom, and gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin. Exact materials vary by item and color, so check the product page for the specifics. You know, like you tell your students, "read the directions."
