Every kid is different, and parents should know this better than anybody. That’s why it gets tricky when praising one child for something you wouldn’t praise the other for. If one kid is a diligent, high-achieving student, you wouldn’t praise them for getting a C in Biology. But if your kid struggled immensely with passing …

Daycare teacher refuses to feed 2-year-old applesauce because it’s ‘too messy,’ doesn’t tell mom until she confronts them about it: ‘A part of me understands. Another part of me feels like this is kind of lazy?’
Little kids are the messiest monsters that ever lived, and there’s nothing you or I can do to stop that. I do not expect a two or three-year-old to be able to fully cut their chicken parmesan and eat it without transferring at least 40% of the bird onto their shirt, and neither should you! …

25 Teacher Memes For Exhausted Educators Counting Down Until Spring Break
There’s something so wrong about how the spring semester is structured for nearly all K-12 schools. In college, the fall and spring semesters are the exact same length: 4 months.

Landlord provokes discourse by spending 7 years secretly setting aside rent money to put towards the education of her tenants’ daughters: ‘Why do you assume you know how to manage their money better than they do?’
Pretty much everyone who has ever rented has a horror story about a landlord, and far fewer have good things to say about the people whose properties they have paid to live in. Many would argue that a good landlord is an oxymoron, but that doesn’t stop some trying to do right by their tenants …

8-year-old student with anger issues destroys his 3rd grade classroom, teacher takes rest of the class into the hallway and lets him reek havoc without consequences: ‘Are schools not allowed to punish bad students anymore?’
The rulebook for disciplining kids in the classroom has been thrown out the window. Nobody wants to return to the days of Paddlin’ Peggy Hill for good reasons, but there has to be a compromise between spanking students for misbehavior and just letting it happen without consequence. Even the concept of an afterschool or lunchtime …

22 Teacher Memes For Educators Counting Down Until Thanksgiving Break
I do not envy the workload that teachers deal with. They have to teach kids all day, grade papers all night, attend administrative meetings, make new lesson plans, and deal with needy parents. I felt overwhelmed just typing all of that! Not to mention, they must manage and optimize productivity for the most distracted generation …

‘Oh the humanity’: Helicopter parents call their 5th grader’s educator a ‘horrible teacher’ because their star pupil son is getting straight A’s
Teachers nowadays are expected to wear a lot of hats–and not in the fun way that you’d expect. Being a teacher means that you’re a part-time parent, a babysitter, and an educator all wrapped up in a complicated, rule-bound package. With a curriculum to follow, angry parents to please, and a tenured principal ignoring your …

Lazy WHF husband constantly criticizes how his highly-educated wife homeschools their 2 kids, yanks pencils out of their hands and yells at her for having dishes in the sink: ‘He has made our homeschool a living nightmare’
Imagine being a student at an elementary school where the principal always looks over your shoulder, yells at your teacher, and tells her that she’s not doing her job right. It would be just as horrific for the teacher who is simply trying to give her students a good education. What can she do in …

18 Homeschool Memes for Mom Teachers Who Don’t Know What Grade Their Kids Are in
Homeschoolers get a bad rap in society. The public at large is always very concerned about homeschooled kids not being appropriately socialized or getting an insufficient education, but don’t do introspection about whether their own kids attending public, private, or magnet schools are also undersocialized and struggling academically. There have always been parents who use …
