It’s that time of year when students just ended a long and blissful summer and need to make their way back to school to reconnect with their teachers.
Teachers are our unsung heroes. They need to have the smarts of a scientist, the liveliness of a talk show host, and the patience of a saint. They may lose their mind sometimes, but their days can be full of funny stories among fellow teachers and their beloved students.
We collected some favorite school memes and memes for teachers to highlight our educators’ incredibly challenging and sometimes laughable dedication. They are guaranteed to score some extra classroom points.

“When No One Has Questions”
Kim 7 years ago
We had to go to a conference once because of my son yelling at classmates, "She just gave you the directions AND they are written on the board!" I was in school myself at the time, later became a teacher and wished that would happen in my class.
Nicole Swanson 7 years ago
I was having a bad day at work and, on an endlessly useless regional conference call with about 30 other division offices, I spouted out "she just answered that question, you idiot". Turns out my coworker forgot to mute our phone, as required. Not my proudest moment.

Teachers are overworked and grossly underpaid. All too often they have to buy school supplies out of their own shallow pockets. Meanwhile, our bugnut education secretary wants to buy them guns, and the U.S. accounts for 47% of the world's military spending.

How to Find the Best Mentor-Teacher for You
Whether you’re still in school or have long graduated and are now building your empire, having someone you look up to and respect can boost your success tenfold.
Liz Elting, a billion-dollar founder and contributor for Forbes, writes that finding a mentor is crucial to building your career and future (Forbes, 2023) (1). Elting says that a mentor isn't just an advisor and teacher but also an “ally, an advocate, and even a confidante and friend.”
Finding a champion with similar values ensures you agree on career aspirations and what it takes to get there. If you aren’t aligned with those fundamental factors, you risk getting it wrong as you maneuver your way to success.
In addition, friendship is fertile ground for effective mentorship. Elting refers to the “ineffable ‘it’ factor” you share with someone who clicks. Choosing the right mentor-teacher will reward you with invaluable relationships and a fulfilling future.

Teachers Get Significantly More Vacation Time Than Most
If you want an occupation that has most summers off, then you might want to consider a teaching career.
According to a circular published by West Governers University in 2022, teachers have the nice perk of getting most of the summer off and slightly longer winter and spring breaks (2). This doesn’t deplete their salaries because of the forced holidays.
Instead, most salaried teachers have their paychecks stretched out over the entire year, meaning their pay stays the same year-round — even during mandatory time off. It’s certainly a good reason to join the noble ranks of teachers.

Teachers now days are heros. In Switzerland the are very well paid. Yet every year there are less and less students who embrace a teaching career. Why because most parents and kids have no manners. Teachers are no longer respected either by the parents or kids. It's no longer times when teachers were considered to be the pillars of society. Parents kids have little respect for authorities. There are still a few who have been well brought up
Family Is the Support Teachers Need
Schools have been working hard to boost the number of teachers and curb student absenteeism. However, a 2023 study by Harvard University researchers and The New Teacher Project stresses the importance of keeping parents involved (3).
When the families were actively engaged in their kids’ education and supported the teachers, the study observed a 6% increase in kids staying in school. The results clearly show that teachers shouldn’t be solely responsible for educating kids. It takes a collaborative effort from the community to keep them in school.

My uncle was a really bad student and a class clown, but my dad was much more quiet.On the first day the teacher ground her knuckle into my dad's back for no reason, leaving bruises because she thought he'd be like my uncle.

My youngest sister was the hard working one but had bad grades (until we found out how to help her) and she was a real solar kid.

Teachers shouldn't adjust everything to every students' culture and learning style. They have to learn at some point that schools and society don't revolve around them. Rather, on some level, they, and all of us, have to revolve around schools and society.

adjust maybe not, but if you don't understand where the students are coming from, it can be hard to figure out why they're struggling with a lesson or subject. in high school/college, yeah, they need to be responsible for themselves, but in like 1st-2nd grade learning to read and write and do simple math, it's more important that they have the basics.

Teachers Imagining Summer Break
Zenozenobee 7 years ago
Last year in my son class a mother went mad (and insulting)against the teacher because she asked to talk about the kid's behavior (rude, violent, always dissipated). The teacher was polite, the mother was'nt, refused to talk in private so that all the school withness the scene and knows about the kid's behavior. She changed him for another school arguing that the kid was nice and was only bold with this teacher so that was her fault. Met her a few times this summer while at the park with my own trolls. Last week she was upset hollidays were hell too long and that her kids was driving her mad, teachers were overpaid and didn't deserve so much vacations. So I told her she should stop bad mouthing about anyone who accept to deal with her monster and 25 other kids all day long when she was fed up after few weeks. She probably will never speak to me again.

Then your children must be perfect and with the exception of preschool or kindergarten, kids are at school much longer then 5 hours. Plus if your kid has extracurricular or after school programs and factor in the hours that they are asleep, then you aren't dealing with your child 19 hours a day. I raised 4 kids from birth thru college due to death, illness, deployments, domestic violence, etc., that aren't biologically mine and I worked a full time job at the same time, like a lot of parents that don't have the luxury of being SAHP. Since Mom and I both had to work full time to keep a roof over our head. I'm so damned grateful to every teacher, coach, tutor, instructor, babysitter and daycare worker that my kids had, because without them, we would have been up s**t creek without a paddle.

I'm 49 years old. I still remember rotary phones & when you had to share phone lines with your neighbors. They called them party lines. I didn't like party lines. As far as books, I was a voracious bookworm and I would read anything I could get my hands on. I read 2 different sets of Encyclopedias that my Meme bought about 8 years apart. I would run out of stuff to read, especially in the summer, and most schools had really good libraries back then. But during the summer you had to ask your parent(s) to buy your books. And that's really difficult for them to do when you live in poverty. But, my Mom worked her A*S OFF as a waitress to provide for us, and she would buy me used books when she could. My birthday is in August, and I would always ask for books. I read all my books over and over, especially the Encyclopedia Sets. I even got so bored at times that I read dictionaries, a thesaurus, cookbooks, everything. If it was a book I would read it. Even now, I have to have my books.

She set the desks into columns but he still talked to the nearest kids. She rearranged again and put him with 5 girls; now he had 5 more friends who would talk back!

I was a TA for a college professor. On one assignment, the instructions said clearly to round to the nearest 2 decimals, yet students wrote down whatever appeared in their calculator. The professor instructed me to take a 1/4 point off for each mistake. And it added up fast. When class was over, a first year student comes up all angry saying "this can't be right" pointing to the B+ on her paper. I confirmed that it was correct. She says "I graduated top of my class in high school. I never got a B in high school." I handed her back her paper and said "Welcome to college."

Well it just happens, kids are known bullies. If you can't handle kids bullying you, you are not fit for this job. Oh but not all kids are bad. No wonder educators are decreasing. Many kids are bullies and their parents are even worse. And we don't always get supported, especially when bullying on educators happen.

I remember teachers saying ain't IS NOT a word. Well, IT IS now, just go look in the damn dictionary.

@Kiki yeah but in that case you wouldn't ask "what do I have to do?", you'd say "I don't understand this part".

I hated it so much when the teacher said that. Why can't you simply say yes or no.

Use Wikepedia to find sources. Go to the article's citations, use THOSE sources.

Word Doc isn't helping by making the default Calibri 11 point with f*****g spaces after each paragraph. >.<
Wendillon 7 years ago
And that is why it's important to change those defaults once you know the format requirements.

Times New Roman 12 point font (12.5). Double spaced (2.3 spaced). Because every little bit helped.
Markus McCloud 7 years ago
Aside from Comic Sans, I think serif fonts look more refined and professional.

I did calibri and calibri light once...the teacher liked it so much, he changed the rules the next time...

So why isn't the meme written in Times New Roman? This one isn't even a serif font.
Susan Dodds 7 years ago
I hate times new roman...I ask my students to use something else in my class. :)

I've had a teacher who was actually a pretty decent guy, but he had very specific rules for turning in papers on the computer for some weird reason.
WillemPenn 7 years ago
Because things later in life have very specific weird rules. It's good practice. Screenwriting, law, copy writing, applying for grants, applying for jobs, filling out government paperwork, etc. all have specific formatting requirements. Best to learn that early.

This is idiotic. How did they get onto the flash drive, don't you use a submission platform with back-ups? Even email will save a copy for a while until you empty the recycling bin.

It's probably a joke about how she doesn't have time or isn't in the mood to read and grade them all in time (or at all)...so that's why she's happy about them disappearing ( or "disappearing")

you can tell what ones are made by teachers and what ones are made by students quite easily. I think that it's pretty funny.👌

I've had two very significant experiences with both types of teachers. One who was nurturing, went the extra mile to help whenever or with whatever I needed assistance with...encouraged a love of literature by inviting us to come over before school to read from her personal library, etc. The other... talked down to me constantly, told me I would never pass my exams and that I would never make good enough grades to get into the school I chose...ignored me in class and basically treated me like c**p because I wasn't up to the 'standard' of her preferred students. It's been over twenty years since I've left school and I remember both teachers as if it were yesterday. When I think of one...I wish I could have given her a huge hug and a million dollars before she died. The other...makes my skin crawl and a lifetime of insecurity. Teachers do make a difference... It's up to each individual the kind of impact they have on a child and how that affects them in their lives, going onward.

We had a nice and sweet teacher, but when we talked during her lessons she walked to the door opened it and slammed it very loud. You could hear it in the entire school building.
