“I wish that I had known about that book when my husband went into teaching, and I wish I would have made him read it before he ever set foot in a high school classroom.”

In After 3PM, former teacher Kurt Michael Brundage offers a brutally honest account of the choices that destroyed his career, his reputation, and his freedom. Arrested, imprisoned, and permanently marked, he refuses to excuse or justify his actions. Instead, he takes readers behind the headlines and into the hidden aftermath — the shame, the prison years, the lifelong stigma — while asking the hard questions schools, communities, and teachers continue to ignore.

More than memoir, this book is a warning and a call to action. Brundage explores the epidemic of inappropriate teacher-student relationships with a unique insider’s perspective, revealing how distorted thinking develops, why schools often fail to intervene, and what practical steps can prevent future tragedies. Candid, uncomfortable, and urgent, After 3PM challenges educators, policymakers, and the public to stop treating symptoms and start addressing the root causes — before another classroom is shattered.
