Teaching takes more self-restraint than most jobs. As a former tutor of high school kids and the child of a teacher, I can attest to the fact that there are a million thoughts your teachers have about you and your classmates, and it takes absolutely every bit of their brain power to stop themselves from saying the things that they probably shouldn't.

Some of these thoughts include hot takes about students with bad body odor, students who have obvious crushes on their other classmates, and students with abysmal parents. Rest assured that your teachers see and hear all the things you think they're not picking up on in the classroom. You might think that the side comments you're making are inaudible, but just because your teacher is at the front of the classroom does not mean he or she is hard of hearing.

Keep scrolling below for the inner thoughts your teachers desperately wish they could voice to their students' faces. And as always, here's a friendly reminder to respect your teachers because they certainly aren't getting paid what they deserve.
