16 Teachers Who Deserve A Raise In 2024, Either For The Crap They Deal With Or How Good A Job They Did

We reeeeeeeally need to pay teachers better.

1. The teacher who got this candle as a present from a student who is still learning English:

Person holding a candle tin that says "When this candle is lit, give me that dick"

2. The teacher who had to send this email:

"Hello, I gave [name redacted] lunch detention tomorrow for something inappropriate he did in class today; we were playing a review game and he gave himself the name 'Mass Debater'; a minor issue, but I thought I should let you know"

3. The teachers who got this, uh, beautiful and appetizing spread for Teacher Appreciation Week:

A bunch of cold cut sandwiches in three pans on a table

4. And the teachers who got a total of seven (7) Starburst candies and some bubble wrap for Teacher Appreciation Week:

Seven candies in a baggie next to some bubble wrap "for immediate stress relief," according to a note

5. The teacher who probably had a minor heart attack when a student turned in this drawing (it's supposed to be their family snorkeling, thank god):

Stick drawing of four people seemingly being hanged by the neck

6. The teacher who unfortunately had to put up this sign in their car:

Sign in the car window: "I'm a teacher with 4 jobs; please break into a Tesla instead &lt;3 There's nothing inside"

7. The teacher who got this "report card" from their very mean second-graders:

Very badly written, hard-to-read note with a grade of F- for, among other things, "yeelling," "being a snich," and "being the wost teacher"

8. The teacher who noticed a little too late what these "mermaids" look like at the bottom:

Drawing of a row of figures with wild hair, no arms, and feet that look like the base of a dildo

9. This poor, poor substitute teacher who had to try to get through a day with high schoolers while sporting this last name:

The teacher's name, "Mrs Stoner," written on a whiteboard, along with a lunch schedule

10. The driving school teacher who ended up in this predicament:

A "driving school" car sitting in the front yard of a house with a demolished fence behind it

11. The teacher who had to mark this as correct (because, technically, it is):

In a test question asking for two examples of solids, liquids, and gases, student answers "house table" for solids, "gasoline milk" for liquids, and "fart air" for gas

12. The teacher who probably banged their head against their desk a few times after reading this intro:

Teachers: "AI is a disaster, how am I going to know who is cheating?!"

13. The teacher who was so tired that they made a very simple "casserole" for the staff potluck:

An M&amp;M's casserole, consisting of 1 bag of plain M&amp;M's, 1 bag of peanut M&amp;M's, 1 bag of almond M&amp;M's, and 1 bag of peanut butter M&amp;M's, in a bowl; recipe card says DO NOT preheat the oven or grease pan; stir gently, makes 20 servings

Dang, it's hard being a teacher, huh? I'm stressed out just looking at these. So here are some feel-good ones to close us out:

14. The teacher who wholesomely stepped in for an absent student:

Teacher at the whiteboard looking at a phone and drawing a cat, next to the final version, "Cat of the Day: Snowball"

15. The teacher who pranks their students by writing paragraphs on their papers when they're in the bathroom, and waiting to see if they notice:

Three typewritten paragraphs about The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, one about how they've read up to page 40, and one saying how everybody only wears one sock because they lost the other in the dryer

16. And finally, the teacher who learned some new slang, and clearly deserves a raise for being this awesome:

Teacher asks, "Why do my students call me a goat?" because they have a good connection with them and they're good kids, and is "in tears" when they realize the students were complimenting them the whole time
