Most schools are still closed and teachers have to continue educating their students remotely. While online tools like Zoom help educators out while we’re all social-distancing, teaching things online has its own quirks and can drive some people to tears with laughter.
We wanted to make you Pandas smile and to let you know just what distance learning is like from teachers’ perspectives, so Bored Panda has collected a bunch of hilarious tweets about it. Scroll down, enjoy, and upvote your faves.
While some teachers are enjoying teaching their students online, others are exhausted by how difficult some kids find it to follow even the simplest instructions on Google Classroom. Luckily, plenty of teachers have got a great sense of humor and find ways to crack jokes even when things go sideways.

... omg ... this had not occurred to me. The horror. Do you think it'll be balanced out by the ones just grateful to give use their sprogs back?!
Even though most students are still improving their noggins online, some countries have already relaxed quarantine regulations and are getting kids back in classrooms, step by step. Though every country has its own way of doing things. Denmark is already allowing children up to the age of 11 to return to schools and nurseries, the BBC reports.
Meanwhile, Germany is also allowing students back into schools, though they have to sit at separate desks to ensure that everyone’s social-distancing properly. Students in Berlin went back to class a couple of weeks ago to take their final exams, too.

well, i haven't done that with a classroom, but that sounds an awful lot like being a construction project manager too. If there's a difference between 45 year old men and 9 year old boys, i'll give you a dollar

It seems like no one uses any punctuation on social media at all so they over use it on signs around town. I cringe whenever I see a sign that says LUNCH SPECIAL HOT DOG'S
In Norway, high schools and universities are partially reopening while kindergartens have now fully reopened. France, meanwhile, has declared that primary school students will go back to class from May 11, but classes will have a maximum of 15 students. The Netherlands plans to do the same, though classes will be part-time; secondary students will have to wait until June 1 before they can go back to the schools they’ve (probably) missed so much.
But not everyone’s rushing to leave their homes. Even though South Korean schools reopened in April, they’re still almost entirely empty because it was decided that kids would be learning online. The only people in the classrooms are teachers who communicate with their students via the internet.

How sad that all those people somehow managed to get all the way through their school years not knowing how to spell, punctuate, and use the proper tense.

Isn't that true for most people who are essential in daily life? Instead, celebrities get praised who upload five videos of their mental breakdowns in theior mansions (could not decide which of the six bathrooms to use when taking a dump) and then raising money but selling an old t-shirt ("for corona charity").

One of my teachers have been doing this. It's quite interesting. Sometimes you forget that they know about pop culture

I agree, the last one that I did - imagine my horror to discover a few students missing and went looking for them, they were out back smoking, and one of them was my own son.

I really hope that parents are having a look-see to make sure their little precious offspring has at least made their bed and kicked all the dirty dishes out of sight.

I'm an introvert and really have to push myself in social situations. But as a Teacher's Assistant for Physics or helping tutor in the combined Math/Physics study room I had no problems because I was doing something I loved with other people that had the same interest.

My son spotted his teacher's car in a parking lot. Spent 30 minutes in the store looking for her afterwards.

Yeah. My English and math teachers have video chats twice a week where they answer questions and I don't think very many people come. I believe it the last time I went on one was week one or two and it's week 6 now. There were only a few other kids when I went.

I can relate. I can no longer physically do my job so mentor people on line. But it takes more energy to make sure everything is done correctly and you're focus 100%.

The teachers I appreciate are the ones who made sure I learned what they were teaching. They were tough, thorough, kind, and sticklers for doing things properly. Forget the gifts which have always seemed like bribes more than appreciation. My college English professor was so knowledgeable and made sure we all knew the material he taught or we didn't pass the class. He set up 20 minute meetings for each student in every class every week at which he would dissect that week's essay. I took his classes for all four years, grammar, composition, and literature and he required essays in all of them! I can't imagine how much time that must have taken but 50 years later I am still appreciative of his caring. He left my small college a couple of years after I graduated and moved to a large university. At the time, no one knew where he had gone, not even his colleagues at my college. Years later I was able to track him down and called him to tell him what an effect he had had on me. Con't.

My obnoxious upstairs neighbor let her 9 year old son stop doing the home schooling because he though it was too hard. So now he is just playing video games and watching TV etc. You are an adult. Help you child and make them do their schooling!!!

If my neighbors still had teens in high school, they'd be totally screwed. Neither one of them got past 8th grade. It took me ages to get the mom to learn fractions to she could learn how to adjust recipes that had 2/3 c. or 1/4 tsp in them....

I could tell the teachers are letting off steam yet at the same time there was so much frustration behind so many. For way too long teachers have been under paid and without adequate funds for additional supplies besides giving 3 months of their unpaid time to go to continuing education seminars paid out of their own money. They have to fight for decent pay but often having to forfeit something in return. Insurance & vacation pay is minimal at best.They attempt to teach in overcrowded classrooms without enough books in buildings crumbling and without constant plumbing., poor heating & no air conditioning. When Education for the youngest is not considered a priority to the United States Government, the USA will not be 1st in anything for very long.

As a teacher, I can assure you that yes, while we are able to do our work without having to change out of our PJ,s, our hours have increased as has our anxiety. I am on call for pupils and parents 7 days a week. I have just finished a 2 hour phone call with one struggling parent and it is 9pm. You have no idea what you are talking about.
