Everyone loves a good meme. They don’t always make sense, but they are a good way to get a good laugh out of someone. They mix a bit of silliness, a funny picture, and some odd humor, and then something great comes out. With the list that we’ve collected today, we have some memes that show all the things that teachers and students go through daily. This list is a mix of hilariousness and a bit of cringe. We hope that you’re comfortable because this list is going to have you laughing. Sit back, grab a good snack, and start scrolling.
Something Special
This photo sums up the feeling that you felt when the teacher trusted you to do something special. It could be leading the line, taking something to the office, or in the case of this photo, going to find another student. You would feel a bit like a man on a special mission. That’s what makes the Boba Fett photo so appropriate. You felt even better when you accomplished the mission.
These were some of the best moments during the school day. It took you away from boring school work to do something fun. We would trade in our job for another mission if we could.
Worst Fear
Science is an important topic to cover in school. Unfortunately, the words organism and orgasm are very close. So, we can feel this teacher’s pain. Seems like she feels worse than we ever could about the situation. Hopefully, most of the kids weren’t sure what she was talking about. But 13-year-olds are probably smart enough to know what an orgasm is. She is never going to be able to live that down.
We can only imagine how awkward it must have been for her to go back to school the next day. Those kids were probably waiting all night to make a joke about the situation.
Extra Credit
We’ve all been that student who waited till it was too late to do some extra work. And if we had just done the work we were given, we would have been fine when it came to grades. Seems like teachers have caught on to the game now. We can only imagine how many times they get students coming up to them and asking for extra credit or more time on an assignment.
Some kids will never learn. We just hope that these teachers are much nicer about the situation than the teachers we had were. That was a nightmare to deal with.
A Wish
This one hit right in the feels. It is true that the kids who get in trouble a lot are pretty smart. The trouble they cause may be because of their home life. We’re curious if this little note was written by one of the bad kids, or if a good kid wrote it. Either way, we hope that this note was able to change the teacher’s mind about some of their students.
All kids deserve a second chance in the classroom. Let’s hope that the kids that are labeled bad get a chance to show just how smart and talented they are.
Questions
The only thing worse than not knowing the answer is seeing questions about a subject that you never covered. That’s what this meme looks like it’s showing. That was the worst feeling. Some of the things that were on those tests and quizzes in 5th or 6th grade were meant for students in high school. How could they expect anyone to know those answers? Teachers need to teach what’s going to be on the test.
We always felt so hopeless when this happened to us. It’s the worst feeling in the world. We’d just circle the answer that was the most fun or looked like it would be right.
Funds
This is another meme that hurts a little bit. Teachers need all the help they can get when it comes to having supplies. They shouldn’t have to come out of their pockets. Luckily, the students always seem to love what they buy. It makes the classroom so much more fun when there are exciting things in there. We would have been learning in dull rooms had it been left up to the government.
Students need good environments to learn in. And those environments shouldn’t be built from the teacher’s pocket. At least those students will never have to worry whether their teachers care or not.
Be Nice
We know that this photo is of a classroom that teaches children, but this needs to be everywhere! So many adults can’t even understand these simple things. If people of all ages knew about this type of thinking, we’re sure that we would be in a much better place as a society. There is so much that people just don’t want to think about. Being nice is always a good idea.
This is a good thing to see in a classroom. Hopefully, those kids can absorb this message and remember it for the rest of their school years. It will be so helpful.
Chaos
Lots of people refer to teachers as superheroes, and there is some truth to that, but even they have their limits. We’re sure that a lot of people can probably remember a few times when their teachers stood at the front of their classroom waiting until everyone finally quieted down. They did it with patience, but we all knew that there was some anger behind that calm face they showed.
If you ever want to learn about patience, all you have to do is follow a teacher or a day and see what it is that they do. They’ve mastered the art of being patient.
Genius
This kid is either a smartass or a genius. We aren’t sure which one, but we know that he’s going to go far in life. Not only is this smart, but it’s also funny. He managed to get all the points for the quiz! The teacher probably got a good laugh out of this when they saw this quiz in the pile. Something tells us this kid will do this again sometime.
To be fair, the kid did do the assignment as the teacher asked. Nothing about the rules specified which five words he needed to spell. It just asked for five words.
Parenting 101
Everyone has experienced this before. You play around in class, you know that you need a good grade, and once the semester is nearly over, your parent has to beg to get you more work. Teachers probably dread this time of the year, but it’s funny to see this meme making fun of it. it’s also funny that kids, parents, and teachers are having similar scenarios play out all over the world.
This meme just proves that we are all the same no matter where in the world we are from. So many parents and teachers have probably had this same conversation before.
Safe Plan
Once again, we have another example of a kid being a bit of a smartass, as well as a genius. There was a question that he didn’t want to deal with, but instead of not answering it, he made it disappear completely. We’re going to try that at work. If we get handed some paperwork, we’ll just erase it and pretend it was never there. Seems like a safe plan.
It's obvious that this teacher caught on to the kid’s antics, but we have to give some credit to the kid for being so smart. This is a funny thing to do. We hope the teacher felt the same way.
Observers
Those teacher observers were so strange. We remember them, and we remember wanting to be on our best behavior for our teachers as well. We imagine it would make you feel a bit like Steph Curry if all your kids were participating, being on their best behavior, and not being the annoying little brats that they are every other day of the week. A lot of teachers probably feel the same way.
Students are interesting. Sometimes they hate you, and then sometimes they show just how much they respect you. This is one of the situations that must confuse teachers.
Summer Vacation
The end of the school must be extremely tough if teachers are making memes like this. From what we can remember during school when it hit May, we were barely paying attention. Our attention was already on the summer. It makes sense that teachers feel the same way about it. Look at the guy in this meme. He’s fed up with the lessons he’s been teaching the class.
We can’t blame teachers for wanting to run away at the end of the year. Teaching kids for that many months must make you feel a little insane after a while.
Bieber
If you’re a fan of Justin Bieber, then these pencils probably aren’t all that bad. But if you aren’t, then you probably hate your teacher more than anything else in the world when they hand you one of these. We don’t have any problems with Bieber, but we could understand how this would be so embarrassing. Hopefully, the kids in this teacher’s class start bringing their pencils again.
When we would forget pencils, our teachers would give us pencils that had been chewed on and had no eraser. We would have much rather had a Bieber pencil if it was an option.
Donut
To be honest, this kind of seems like a dream job to us. Not much effort, and not much interaction with the kids. But this is just a child’s summation of what a principal does. There are probably some teachers at this school that think the same thing. Maybe he needs to be a bit more present. Maybe then the students won’t think that he’s a recluse who hides out in his office.
Our principals were lame. They didn’t do anything but enforce rules and blow a whistle occasionally. That’s not too much better than a principal who just eats donuts each day.
Copying Machines
It’s good to know that copying machines are a pain in the ass for people in all sorts of professions. And while we’ve never been a teacher trying to fix one, we have been the student who has caused the jam a few times. Hey, pressing the print or copy button over 100 times is a lot of fun. It’s fun to see those papers just shoot out of there like it’s nothing. You can’t get mad about that!
We can only imagine the amount of ink that those teachers must have gotten on their clothes trying to fix those machines. Chances are that some nice clothes have been ruined over the years.
The Magic School Bus
This may be the truest meme so far. We’re sure teachers would absolutely love a class size that small. It would be so much easier to work with, and you probably could go on some fun field trips like the class from the Magic School Bus. But class sizes are huge now. There are usually 30 kids or more. That’s why teachers deserve all the respect in the world!
The Magic School Bus was awesome. We just hope teachers, no matter how big their class sizes are, are doing all they can to make their classes as fun as Ms. Frizzle did.
Five Days
Now, this is a good meme. It seems like something a teacher would make and post. The weekend must just fly by for them. Only two days seems unfair when they have to spend 5 days practically babysitting everyone else’s kids for about 8 or so hours a day. If anyone should get a long weekend, it should be the people who teach. They do so much for everyone else.
We’re sure some students would absolutely agree with this post. The week is so hard after that blip of a weekend. More time off, and less time looking at books for both teachers and students.
Besties
We have definitely been these students as well. You try to play it off that it’s just a coincidence that we are going to the bathroom at the same time, but it’s been planned out since the class started. And once you are in there, you do nothing but talk and play around. It’s funny to see that teachers have caught. It’s nice to see that things haven’t changed since we were students.
Teachers have gotten much smarter than when we were in school. It felt like we could get away with everything, but these memes clearly show that it is no longer like that anymore.
Brutal
Kids have become brutal over the years! We’re sure that the teacher was not expecting this to be one of the answers that she received after she gave this assignment to the students. Hopefully, she didn’t take it too hard. And maybe she should talk to that kid and tell him to stop being a jerk, even if he is correct. Ms. King is probably ready for summer break from these kids.
Kids call it as they see it. They have no filter on their words. If something comes to their mind, then they are going to say it. That’s exactly what this kid did!
Adults
Teachers are trained in specific areas. They know exactly what they are doing, and how to do it. But parents are usually the ones that come in and accuse the teachers of not being good enough and being the reason why their kid is falling behind. It’s a shame, but it happens. There are some good teachers out in the world. It would be nice if the other adults were just as good.
We see this too often. Teachers can’t do the job that they are paid to do because other adults get in the way. No one loses more in this situation than the kids.
MVPs
Substitute teachers are the MVPs of schools. They were always so calm and laid-back. You knew when your teacher was going to be out of class that you were going to have an easy day. Sometimes you wished that the substitute could be your teacher forever. They tried to do the lessons, but when that didn’t work, they just gave up and let the kids do what they want. Substitute teachers were the best.
Substitute teachers are like regular teacher’s much more chill and cooler sidekicks. They don’t get the recognition that they deserve. They made so many school days better when we were students.
Perspective
It does seem that teachers work around the clock. Yes, their hours are only Monday-Friday, but the days are so long. If you count sporting events they have to chaperone, grading papers, and then teacher and parent meetings, there is so much that they do during the week. It’s impressive that they can even find the time. We are starting to understand why they can hardly wait for the summer break to come around.
Summer break to teachers must feel like getting out of prison after doing 20 years. There is just so much that they must do during the school year. When do they sleep?
Can't Help It
This entire list is really calling us out. This was exactly what we used to do in science class. Especially if it was something that included cutting or fire. We never listened to instructions. We went straight to doing whatever we wanted. Teachers must be some of the most patient people on the planet. There is no way we would be able to handle all the silly little things that kids do in classrooms.
As adults, we can see why it’s important to listen to instructions, but as kids, they didn’t matter. We wanted to do what we wanted. Even if it risked accidentally burning down the school.
Why and Who
Who the hell made this paper? What were they thinking when they designed it? Those letters at the top are clearly penises! There is no way that teachers could hand these out. Not only is it inappropriate, but those students would be laughing too hard to get anything done. And we all know that kids take photos of everything nowadays. These would be all over the school in no time.
Maybe this was just some sort of mistake with the printer or copier that made them look like this. We really hope that the teacher just overlooked this and did nothing about it.
Math Teachers
Math should be banned if you ask us. If it were, then no one would have to deal with the scenario in this photo. Math teachers always have so much information to tell students in such a short time, and then they never have time to answer questions. This meme is almost too accurate. Notes, practice, and even homework don’t help with math trouble sometimes. Maybe math teachers don’t know the answers either!
We think that math is easily the hardest subject no matter what grade the students are in. Those teachers deserve a lot of respect, but they also could have answered our questions!
Winter Months
We can only imagine how long the winter month for teachers must be, and how short the summer must feel. They spend nearly 9 months teaching, and then only get the other three for rest. If we were teachers, the second the school year was over, we would be on the first flight to Mexico or some other warm place. We wouldn’t think about school until it was fall again.
Teaching isn’t for everyone, and this simple graph shows that not everyone is meant to be a teacher. A regular job’s schedule is already tough enough. This seems like torture!
Staff Shortages
We struggle when we don’t have enough people to work in the office, it must be hell when there aren’t enough teachers on staff to deal with all the kids. That would be so many loud, hyper students to tend to. We would not be able to deal with that. And for teachers to make a meme about the situation, it must happen often. This is one more reason why people call teachers superheroes.
We would probably call in sick too if we knew that other teachers weren’t going to be there. There is no way that we would be able to help with all those kids.
Veteran Teacher
That veteran teacher has probably seen all the bad things that teachers, kids, and administrative staff can do. There is a good chance that they have a good reason to be upset about stuff. And who knows how many years they have been working. That adds to the frustration they feel. But those are the types of teachers that students respect the most. They know that they can’t get away with anything with them.
If we were a young teacher, this is the type of teacher we would try to model ourselves after. We’d make those kids know early that we were in charge and not them.
More Brutal
These kids are getting more and more brutal. To be fair, they just drew a picture of how they see their teacher. It isn’t their fault that their teacher’s roots are showing in their hair. We’re sure when the teacher got the photo back from the kids they were taken back, maybe even a little hurt. Let’s hope she really does get to the salon to fix up her roots.
There is no way that we would ask the kids to draw a portrait of us. There is no way that that would end well. We don’t think that we are strong enough for that.
That One Kid
It wouldn’t surprise us if that kid who seems not to understand the assignment is doing it on purpose. There’s a chance that he is really confused, but kids also love to mess with teachers just to do it. We’re not saying that we were like that as children, but we are aware that it happens often. The real thing would be to see how those kids do on their tests.
Also, kids love to talk to their friends in class. The kids who don’t fully understand the assignment are probably one of these types of students. They should pay attention a bit more.
A Joy
Teachers love to tell parents that their kids are a joy to have in class, but this parent knows the truth. That line is probably used just to sweet talk parents so that no arguments break out. But parents would be the ones to know just how bad and annoying their kids can be. That’s why they are so happy to drop them off at school in the morning.
We were like these kids. We were good in class, paid attention, and did the right thing, but as soon as we got home, we were causing all sorts of trouble.
Daylights Saving
We’ve experienced daylights saving time for ourselves, and it sucks. It must be horrible for a teacher who has to teach rowdy children. They probably look at their alarm clock and want to toss it at the window. Who knows, maybe taking away that hour of sleep helps to calm the kids down a little bit. There is a good chance that they would be tired in class as well.
Daylight savings time has a weird effect on everyone. But teachers and other professionals who have to deal with people early in the morning probably have it worse than anyone else.
Method
Teachers absolutely hate it when you do this. They take all that time to teach you one way to do something, and then you go and do it another way. We can understand why they would be bothered by it. They must feel like they have wasted their time! But this meme is funny. It’s good to know that all these teachers have a sense of humor about these types of things.
Look, we think if they are getting the right answers time after time, why does the method matter? An A+ is an A+ no matter how you get it in our opinion.
Nightmare
This must be a teacher’s nightmare. There is just no way that those football players let her ever forget about that one. They probably laughed the entire rest of the class, and they definitely brought it back up as the school year went on. To be honest, we can see how that could happen. The words are very close together. You also have to wonder what this teacher was thinking about at the time!
It seems like an honest mistake, but a room of 18-year-old boys doesn’t care. They are going to make her regret ever saying that. Kids all over the school probably knew about it.
