I will fight anybody who thinks teachers get too much time off. If anything, they should get even more time to do as they please because they are doing one of the most critical jobs in the world. They are the most essential profession, IMHO.

It's a common misconception that teachers only work during school hours, making their days shorter than those of us 9-5 schlubs. It's much more common for teachers to work around the clock: grading papers, responding to emails and preparing for lessons in the days ahead. I also think those of us who don't teach can't conceptualize how difficult it can be to manage 100s of kids daily. I can count on one hand how many coworkers I have to communicate with every day, and none are under 18! Teachers deserve so much more than they're given, so I hope that giving them these teacher memes is a worthwhile contribution.
