Ah, the life of an English teacher: grading essays at 11 PM, explaining the difference between 'their' and 'there' for the thousandth time, and watching your paycheck evaporate faster than a student's interest in Shakespeare. This tote bag is for the educator who has mastered the art of loving their job while questioning every financial decision they've ever made. The slogan, 'Red ink stains my empty bank account,' is the kind of darkly humorous truth that only a true grammar warrior can appreciate. It's roomy enough to haul a stack of ungraded papers, a well-worn copy of *The Great Gatsby*, and maybe a coffee that's seen better days. Whether you're heading to a staff meeting, a book club, or just trying to look like you have your life together, this bag makes a statement without saying a word. It's a nod to the passion that keeps you going and the paycheck that doesn't. If you know an English teacher who deserves a laugh (and a little recognition), this tote is the perfect way to show you get it.
