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.
I don't think I was in a class that had less that 30, maybe a shop class or volleyball/badminton.. .. largest was 7th grade English with 42, we did read Hitchhiker's guide that year as well.
Load More Replies...actually thats pretty realistic for a rural area just not a suburban one like where magic school bus is set
I was in a public school with a class of 8! And 3 of us had the same first name...Really confusing
My school was built a few years ago so my class has just 9 people including me
Back in 1950-1958 my elementary school class size was between 58 and 62.
My school is a school for kids that are different (autism, diabetes, bad past, etc) and we have class that are size of 8-10 students and one extra teacher
Nah nah... My class can have from only 8 to 30 depending on if students even want to go to school!
My graduating class had 7 and it's a public school. Small rural School in the middle of nowhere Texas
My 7th grade class who has 15 people in it, there are a total of 37 students
Hell i was in special ed which had the smallest class and we still hit double digits
Growing up in a rural area, I know of MANY public schools that have 8 students in the entire school!
It's a TV show-you didn't expect reality, did you? 1 tchr:8 children... Hahahaha-Yr just kidding right? Even 16 would be great-the teacher could actually enjoy the art of teaching & the students would flourish!
When I was in public schools class size was usually around 30-32 kids
I had classes with a minimum of 35 and even 70 in combined classes
I was in a class with 16 kids once, it was really fun because you knew everyone well! All my other elementary classes were 20+
Wait the Magic School Bus uses magic which is not science to teach science
My school had grades k-12 all in the same building. There were only eight kids in my senior class. I grew up in a super small town though, and having less than 15-20 students per grade was normal. I consider myself lucky.
And that a class spends all day, every day engrossed in fun science activities.
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
Load More Replies...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.
