Living for the weekend I don’t envy the workload teachers deal with.

25 teaching memes for the teachers that have to go back to school after their deserved vacation
Teaching can be the best, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t tiresome. Being a teacher can bring great moments, but it can also bring moments when you completely doubt the path you have chosen. I’m assuming all this. The closest I ever got to being a teacher was giving extra classes to kids who were …

Kindergarten teacher has 1 student every year who has never colored, written, or drawn anything with a writing utensil before: ‘They have to be explicitly taught how to apply pressure to write on paper.’
Should kids know how to write their own names before they start kindergarten? It’s no secret that many kids are getting left behind in the education system. When I was a kid, America was all about not leaving kids behind in this exact setting (when I was a kid, I thought that policy was about …

Teacher pressures mom to let her post pictures of her 5-year-old son on the school’s social media: ‘I don’t post my child online.’
What’s wrong with this teacher? Have you ever seen someone on a TV show with a blurred-out face and wondered why? When I was a kid watching What Would You Do, I was always miffed about why some random people in the background of the shot would have their faces blurred out. The reason for …

Florida teacher cries in class because her 12th graders didn’t know cardinal directions or the regions of the United States: ‘They are so far behind, some can’t even spell simple words.’
What should a teacher do in this situation? A lot of kids lack basic knowledge they should’ve learned in Elementary school. When I was in elementary school, we had a whole unit on reading clocks, but now that kids only use their phones to tell time, some schools don’t even bother, and the kids suffer …

Homeschool parents lie to their 15-year-old, telling her that public school costs money and is too expensive for them: ‘I dropped out of school in the 3rd grade.’
Some parents just don’t care about their children getting a good education. In some countries, the point of a high school education is not to ensure everyone gets the same basic knowledge, but to separate the academically inclined from the not-so-academically inclined and put both groups on paths better suited to their strengths and weaknesses. …

Employee refuses to help her new boss, whom she has trained, with something she’s taught her how to do 3 times already: ‘I’m sure you can figure that out. It’s above my pay grade.’
The new girl is not as great as her boss says she is. It’s easy for companies to get caught up in the potential of their new hires. It’s only natural, since new hires are much more likely to act as if they will do anything and everything for a company to prove that they’re …

Why would she be punished for getting the right answers? Have you ever cried at the dinner table with your dad, trying to figure out your math homework?
