"Kids these days," people say. But teachers deal with them every day and somehow still keep it together.

Well, mostly! Endless grading and (passive-)aggressive parent emails can test the limits of even the most patient.

To highlight what it takes to survive in the modern classroom, we compiled a list of memes created by educators about the highs and lows they experience at work.

When you're a student, you don't always appreciate the person in front of the blackboard — but later, you realize they deserve a medal for their efforts.

I teach English as a foreign languge. The assignment says in big bold letters it should be done in English. "Do I need to write English?" The assignment says it counts towards their final result. "What do you mean, this mark counts?" Rinse and repeat.

That seems to be the teacher’s problem. the teachers provide a service for the students so they should at least be competent enough to answer the students’ questions. This is why Trump cut the Board of Education, real genius businessman

We do not provide a service. We provide education. In order for that to work students have to participate and engage. You can't teach someone who doesn't want to learn. Which is why you are the way you are. Bless your heart.

    Teacher meme showing a calm teacher talking while chaos happens behind, illustrating funny memes for teachers who deserve a raise.

    clairesschoolsolutions Report

    Data collected by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) echoes many of these memes. For example, its ongoing School Pulse Panel surveys public K–12 schools in the United States on various high-priority topics, and the latest results show that 31% of public school students were reported to be behind grade level at the end of the 2024–25 school year.

    However, administrations across the country are trying to address the problem, and 64% of public schools that hired additional educators to provide more small-group and individual instruction reported that this strategy was “very” or “extremely” effective in supporting learning recovery during the current school year.

    I was just sharing with my 20 year-old granddaughter -- a manager at a boutique cookie bakery -- how difficult it can be for some people to respect and work under someone who might be much younger than they are. And... how closed minded they must be. Unable to see the big picture -- including education and struggles that the youthful boss endured to get there -- they often act childish and refuse to acknowledge the authority. I am 58yo and am the oldest in the medical/surgery clinic where I work. Frankly, I would rather be a warrior and not the chief. Thus, I am content to follow those who have book knowledge -- that likely exceeds my own -- more than experience. I also know full well that there are many things I can teach them too.

The competent people are doing all the actual work while those theoretically in charge just keep cheerleading the utterly outrageous ideas. The expectation is that lack of resources, excessive hazards, and unsafe conditions should have no bearing on the outcome...yup checks out.

    I had a friend whose handwriting was "poor", to put it mildly. Her idea of writing "neatly" was to write as small as possible, so it was almost impossible to read at all - the teachers had warned her about her handwriting, many times. One year, come exam time, for the first time, she got a fail! She lamented long and loudly to me "But I wrote SO NEATLY! Look how small the letters are!" and she shoved her returned exam in my face to show me. Readers, this girl had written the words so small, that I thought I was looking at a ruled line! I kid you not! She STILL couldn't understand that that was what had made her fail - the teacher would have needed, not a magnifying glass, but a *microscope*, to read her exam paper!

    A nationally representative survey released in 2024 by the RAND Corporation discovered that six in ten teachers (59%) experience frequent job-related stress — almost double the rate of the general working adult population (33%).

    Teachers were also more likely to report symptoms of depression, at a rate of 19%, compared to 12% of comparable workers. Additionally, 60% of teachers indicated experiencing burnout, compared to just 33% of comparable workers.

    Squirt bottles work on cats. Too bad we can't use them on children.

    Teachers reported working an average of 53 hours per week, compared to 43 hours per week reported by comparable workers.

    However, teachers reported an average base salary of $70,000, compared to an average base pay of roughly $88,000 for their peers in other fields.

    So it’s not surprising that, on average, teachers said they wanted a $16,000 increase in their pay and that teachers in all salary bands indicated that they should earn more.

    My high school history teacher (who happened to also be a PE Coach) used to give us a "pre-test" on Monday, go through it word by word over the next few days, then give us the test on Friday... that was word for word, the pre-test, with the SAME EXACT missing "fill-in-the-blank" spots to complete. Well, we all learned really quickly how to write in very small script, the single missing words in order, and where it was best to hide them during the test. Many of us aced the class... But learned absolutely nothing about history.

    We did the oral exercises going around the room. Then we did the introductory written exercises the same way. Then the math problems that need time and focus were assigned as homework, with about half the class time left. As they worked, I was there for questions and help. Most students had the assignment done by the time the bell rang.

    I have been stunned over the number of massive arguments online from parents raging about sending in school supplies. But not surprised. I mean the reason we need to ask for supplies is because they refuse to increase taxes to pay for the supplies. But they also want us to provide all the supplies.

    Where I live, parents do provide all supplies (except certain text books) anyway. Used to be the schools would give everyone a set of supplies with the money coming from school fees, now either you order through the school and pay separately, or buy them from outside (my mum always went for Kmart, mostly bought the year before when they were discounted).

    Note - this phrase is always, without exception, used in the second or third person . There is no documented evidence of anyone ever saying (or thinking) "If I don't study, I shall not pass". Study is for nerds, apparently, and full scholarships to top Colleges are for quarterbacks - at least, in the fervently held opinion of the athletic members of the class.
