For students who studied and forgot everything, and the teachers who show up anyway.
School life runs on caffeine, deadlines, and the specific kind of humor that only makes sense once you've pulled an all-nighter. Our school rat collection was made for that exact energy — for the students who studied for hours and forgot everything the moment the exam started, and for the teachers who somehow keep showing up anyway.
Every design begins as an original hand-drawn sketch, not a mass-produced template. You'll find a rat buried in a stack of library books, one clutching a coffee cup like it's the only thing standing between them and finals week, and an overworked teacher rat practically drowning in deadlines and homework to grade. If school has ever made you feel a little unhinged, there's a design here that already knows.
These tees work for the classroom, the dorm, the library, or the couch during a study break that's lasted three hours longer than planned. They're premium unisex fits made from Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, DTG printed, true-to-size from XS to 5XL — easy to match with a study group, a graduating class, or a favorite teacher who deserves a laugh.
Yes — every design is clean and family-friendly, with humor about study habits and school life rather than anything inappropriate.
Yes — our Overworked Teacher design is made specifically to celebrate (and gently roast) teacher life.
Any of our school rat tees make an easy, affordable gift — pair one with a coffee gift card for an instant care package.
Every design is original hand-drawn artwork by ArtDesignByNora, printed in a vintage ink and watercolor style. Prices are shown in GBP as listed on Etsy; postage is confirmed at checkout.
