Being a teacher is one of the most important jobs in our society. Each day, teachers mold young minds, turning them into the sort of critical thinkers who will one day rule the world. Yet in many ways, being a teacher is also one of the most thankless and tiresome ways that one can earn a living. Teachers have to deal with other people’s kids as they traverse through childhood, puberty, and into young adulthood, all while barely making a livable wage.
Thanks to the internet, we can now poke a little fun at the stuff that makes teaching such a tough job, especially the silly things students say and do to rankle their hardworking teachers throughout the school year. From turning in assignments late and then asking for extra credit to spending the entire class period in the bathroom with their friends, most teachers have seen it all. Luckily, these funny teacher memes exist to help us laugh our way through the more irritating parts of the job.
