It’s that time of year when students just ended a long and blissful summer and need to make their way back to school to reconnect with their teachers.

Teachers are our unsung heroes. They need to have the smarts of a scientist, the liveliness of a talk show host, and the patience of a saint. They may lose their mind sometimes, but their days can be full of funny stories among fellow teachers and their beloved students.

We collected some favorite school memes and memes for teachers to highlight our educators’ incredibly challenging and sometimes laughable dedication. They are guaranteed to score some extra classroom points.

We had to go to a conference once because of my son yelling at classmates, "She just gave you the directions AND they are written on the board!" I was in school myself at the time, later became a teacher and wished that would happen in my class.

How to Find the Best Mentor-Teacher for You

Whether you’re still in school or have long graduated and are now building your empire, having someone you look up to and respect can boost your success tenfold. 

Liz Elting, a billion-dollar founder and contributor for Forbes, writes that finding a mentor is crucial to building your career and future (Forbes, 2023) (1). Elting says that a mentor isn't just an advisor and teacher but also an “ally, an advocate, and even a confidante and friend.” 

Finding a champion with similar values ensures you agree on career aspirations and what it takes to get there. If you aren’t aligned with those fundamental factors, you risk getting it wrong as you maneuver your way to success. 

In addition, friendship is fertile ground for effective mentorship. Elting refers to the “ineffable ‘it’ factor” you share with someone who clicks. Choosing the right mentor-teacher will reward you with invaluable relationships and a fulfilling future.

In the second image, she has her hand covering her face in embarrassment, with the caption, "In front of 30 13 year olds." The meme humorously captures the awkwardness of a common teacher mistake.

Teachers Get Significantly More Vacation Time Than Most

If you want an occupation that has most summers off, then you might want to consider a teaching career. 

According to a circular published by West Governers University in 2022, teachers have the nice perk of getting most of the summer off and slightly longer winter and spring breaks (2). This doesn’t deplete their salaries because of the forced holidays. 

Instead, most salaried teachers have their paychecks stretched out over the entire year, meaning their pay stays the same year-round — even during mandatory time off. It’s certainly a good reason to join the noble ranks of teachers.

Family Is the Support Teachers Need

Schools have been working hard to boost the number of teachers and curb student absenteeism. However, a 2023 study by Harvard University researchers and The New Teacher Project stresses the importance of keeping parents involved (3). 

When the families were actively engaged in their kids’ education and supported the teachers, the study observed a 6% increase in kids staying in school. The results clearly show that teachers shouldn’t be solely responsible for educating kids. It takes a collaborative effort from the community to keep them in school.

Last year in my son class a mother went mad (and insulting)against the teacher because she asked to talk about the kid's behavior (rude, violent, always dissipated). The teacher was polite, the mother was'nt, refused to talk in private so that all the school withness the scene and knows about the kid's behavior. She changed him for another school arguing that the kid was nice and was only bold with this teacher so that was her fault. Met her a few times this summer while at the park with my own trolls. Last week she was upset hollidays were hell too long and that her kids was driving her mad, teachers were overpaid and didn't deserve so much vacations. So I told her she should stop bad mouthing about anyone who accept to deal with her monster and 25 other kids all day long when she was fed up after few weeks. She probably will never speak to me again.

I taught grades 4-8 during my career. I used to have a black shoebox with a tombstone on the top of it. The tombstone read, Here lies papers without a name, unloved, ungraded, what a shame. The student(s) missing work had to do it over. The students all thought that was hysterical and wanted to be the one who buried the paper. The weird thing was, I never had one parent complain, they obviously never told them about the paper graveyard.

I did that in math class. I just knew the answer but never could figure out the work involved, that part always messed me up. My brain just took over before I could put down the first number or letter and gave me the answer. The teacher was always upset with me. Now days I would have been one You Tube. Can still do it sometimes. Freaks my husband out and I can't even tell him how I do it. LOL

Once my schools vice principal came into my class to watch our maths lesson and she was calling some of us over to ask questions. Now, I have dyscalculia. The vice principal calls me over for a 'special needs interview'. I answer the questions like how does the teacher handle it, are the lessons easy to understand, ect. When I'm done and heading back to my seat my teacher whispers into my ear "I knew I liked u from the beginning."

Used this in class before. Got laughs from the diligent students, grumbles from the lazy ones (who subsequently ask if they can skip the next homework assignment).

I was testing out a few subjects about human right and had my students (5th gr) do a little research on child labor. I planned to have them share there findings the next. I thought the conversation would be about how awful it is that there are children around the world that have to work for a living and that working conditions can be horrible. Instead, most kids were ready to talk about kids having babies. Lol

Never changes, even in upper-level college. -_- Neither does the whispering during class. I can hear you, you're not that quiet.

Actually, Wikipedia is a good way to start. The problem is, it's not enough. And of course, too vague to be cited as a source. Especially when Wikipedia itself cites the sources used for each article.
