So, Teacher Goals is a hub for educators that offers courses, books, podcasts, conferences, among many other things, including hosting an Instagram page dedicated to memes on all things teaching.
Bored Panda had a chat with founder and CEO of TeacherGoals, Brad Weinstein, who elaborated on what TeacherGoals is all about:
"TeacherGoals is an organization dedicated to helping educators through the good times and the hard times through inspiration, innovation, and some humor. We truly believe that sometimes we need to laugh so that we don't cry in such an important, but demanding profession."
"TeacherGoals started out as a Twitter page back in 2014 when I wanted to create an account dedicated to making each day better for educators. I was a teacher at the time and experienced firsthand how frustrating being an educator can be and how educators also had little support," explained Brad.
So, Brad started posting inspirational content with the purpose of celebrating educators and the impact they had on students. This also served as a safe way for educators to vent their frustrations as teaching isn't the easiest of jobs.
"This is when I started posting humorous content that really connected with educators because of how relatable it was to their everyday jobs. Once I found the right combination of posting content that is funny, frustrating, and fantastic about teaching, the account started to grow at a quick rate.
Since then, Brad moved on to create a TeacherGoals account for Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and TikTok.
As of this article, the Instagram page boasts over 10,800 posts that have drawn in 225,000 followers, with the top posts racking up upwards of 250,000 likes, so you know this is the real deal. Among the sprinkles of website marketing material and some inspiration, the page consists mostly of some of the most spot-on memes about teachers.
Speaking of memes, there’s tons of them, and they seem to cover every corner of the educator profession.
Professional pains? You've got the pain of grading assignments, the pain of not being able to find a functional stapler, the pain of dealing with politicians' decisions regarding classroom sizes and other pressing issues, among many others.
But there’s also happiness to be found, like when you overhear someone say you’re their favorite teacher, or when you get a portrait of you some kid drew and you’re re-evaluating your life choices, and the joys of Spring Break.
Well, you've got the chapter on the explosion which leveled a city, the protest riots, a paragraph or two on murder hornets, fires, floods, and the *start* of war. They might mention some pneumonial infection at some point too if there's any space left.
Don't forget about when terrorists stormed the american capitol.

If men of war continue to act like this,there will be no one left to read anything in 2050
Come On! We also have the Webb Telescope and Stephen Colbert. It ain't all bad!
2050 teenager: there is no way all this happened in a 4 year span 2050 teacher with a haunted look: i assure it happened i was there
No worries. Once it's white washed and re-written it'll all seem like it wasn't so bad. Because that's what we do🤫😏
Poor Baby is crying. I HATE TO SEE THAT!! It makes me want to reach in & comfort her & go after whoever did it!! Detention, Detention, Detention, Detention
I feel sorry for those poor kids who will never be blessed to enjoy the legendary all around sweetheart who was Betty White except in reruns and memes.
Oh my, we can't explain it to ourselves. How are these poor children going to understand?
I hope not. So far the pandemic and the Russian invasion are the worst happenings.
Oh gosh poor things I can only imagine what are they gonna gloss over
Doubt that will be in the curriculum, I mean in the early 2000s we still ended at world war 2. So maybe if even then they'll learn about 9/11
The collective, generational trauma this current reality is leaving in its wake is vast. 😢
The chapter on how the guy with dementia, whose rallys couldn't fill a minivan, while the other guy constantly filled stadiums, had thousands of election irregularities, tens of thousands of photocopied ballots, a terrorist van explosion that destroyed ONLY the forensic evidence for the voting machines, was deemed the unquestionable winner of an American election. Known as the sheeple don't question when reality doesn't fit what they believe chapter.
🔛 the other hand... A good movie-it's already unbelievable so that's ½ the plot.
To assume American kids will be studying anything at all in 2050 suggests a complete ignorance of the devolution of our K-12 system over the past two decades. Having hovered near the bottom for years, in 2021 the US vanished from the UN's list of the top 30 K-12 systems entirely.
The fact is these will be in history books. We lived through it first hand. We will have to our kids what we know of those times.
Last time I checked, it's March..which is the 3rd month lol

"The content on TeacherGoals is fueled by my experience as a coach, teacher, principal, and curriculum director. I still have a lot of friends and families that are educators, in addition to still working very closely with educators and students at schools," elaborated Brad.
"Our original content is inspired by the TeacherGoals community, personal experiences, and what is currently happening in schools and the world. We also spotlight and share content from great educator accounts around the world."
thats very smart. best way to stop kids from taking all the pencils.
Brad believes that memes are key in capturing the amazing things that educators do and also one of the best ways to vent frustrations.
"Memes are a quick, yet impactful way to see that educators around the world have so many things in common that they go through, no matter where they teach. Memes are also an escape where we can shut our brains off a little and consume content in a quick and easy format," said Brad.

The snapped leg threw me. But I actually broke my chin at recess, and that was all the advise I got. My mom, who was a HS teacher, worked across the street, but was never notified.
Unfortunately it's the same at our fire department. Mandatory overtime is through the roof!
For me it's the opposite... the class does what they want until the lesson is observed, then they immediately turn turn into perfect but silent/shy students.
I think one of my biggest NOT-regrets was joining the teaching profession full time in state schools. I did a lot of private teaching, college teaching, special needs teaching and tutoring, as well as engaging in many state school remedial programs. But I am so, so glad that I never bit the bullet and joined full time. And the reason I didn't is because I had to get some of my non-US qualifications assessed at a company in New York before I could start work. And that company was in downtown Manhattan. And it was mostly destroyed and the contents lost in a fire. That was caused by the attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11. So terrorism saved me from becoming a full time teacher in the USA.
Aw, sounds like you were plenty involved anyway

The kids hate school as much as the teachers do. It’s a lose lose situation. The education system needs a complete rethink. Take the kids outside and teach them useful things like how to grow a vegetable garden and how to love and respect and work with nature. Not how to grow up to be a robotic slave to the capitalist machine.
