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."
I'm not qualified to be a teacher but WHO CARES?! KIDS LISTEN YOUR HOMEWORK IS TO PLAY VIDEOGAMES FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AND YOU ACE MY CLASS!!!
I saw 'lost veges' when the kid clearly meant Las Vegas. One day we'll find those veggies.
For the second part you can also read it if you're a chronic alcoholic.
Haha I have a second grader and the phoenitic spelling phase is such a true joy. His shopping lists are the cutest.
I didn't even have to read it; I knew what was coming next. Also, I have read my sisters work and my own work from when we were younger. This wasn't super hard.
Woo to my dyslexia, I can read that flawlessly. Guess I'm a teecha.
Then teach someone to read! Just because you can read, that doesn't mean you can teach.
I'd you wrote the half before ...AND, thank and appreciate your teacher and parents for giving you education. If you wrote the second half... GET OFF YOUR FAT ASS AND DRAG IT TO SCHOOL AND GET EDUCATED and learn to write as well...
I KNOW this is supposed to be funny (retired teacher here). There is however a type of spelling lesson where K -1 kids are taught beginning spelling like this. I just can not remember what it's called. I was trying to explain it to my daughter. (It's done with individual white boards. Teacher says word, kids write what they hear. Class compares and discusses)
Mom’s are teachers, too :) (and nurses, of which I am both, thankfully!)
yas I'm not qualified to be a teacher but WHO CARES?! KIDS LISTEN UP YOUR HOMEWORK IS TO PLAY VIDEOGAMES FIR THE REST KF YOUR LIFE!!
Not a teacher, just dislexic I used to wright like that a lot, only my hand writing has got better ;-;
If you can read this, you likely taught yourself how to read, and survived the detrimental public education. Teachers do no know how to teach. Children know how to learn, innately. Read John Holt, about how children learn, and fail. Natural curiosity is crushed in the public school system.
"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.
"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.
