Now that June is coming to a close, most schools have officially wrapped up the end of the school year, which means students can enjoy their much-needed summer vacations. But if there's anyone who deserves that vacation more, it's obviously the teachers. Anyone with even the slightest bit of self-awareness knows that teachers have it rough. Not only are they obviously underpaid and overworked, but also you know that whatever you think teachers have had to put up with in their careers, it's probably worse than you could ever imagine.
As the child of a teacher, I have to say that I've seen how that level of tolerance for absolute nonsense slowly but surely gets smaller and smaller. Over the years, I would watch my teacher parent's bandwidth go from "I can deal with anything the system puts in front of me" to "I actually can't take anything anymore." It's a curious physical, emotional, and psychological decline, but in some ways, it's also kind of empowering at the same time. Watching a teacher be honest about the amount of BS they have to deal with every day from students, parents, administrators, etc. makes them all the more human.
So if you still have the chance, go and thank a teacher before they go off on a subpar summer vacation that only their subpar salary can afford. For more compilations like this, take a look at this collection of weird facts as well as this list of ridiculous and laughable questions.
