You take a deep breath as the projector hums to life, bathing the room in the soft glow of a colonial map. You push aside the stack of ungraded essays threatening to topple over on your desk. Today you are going to talk about the American Revolution, a topic drier than yesterday's whiteboard marker. You clear your throat and ignore the confused murmurs and glares of students who probably wish they were anywhere else.

'Imagine yourselves transported back to 1775, Boston' you begin to ramble on, even boring yourself. Every few minutes one of your students starts to talk, and you find yourself repeating yourself, going over questions, and once again, repeating yourself. If only they would listen. As the bell rings, signaling the end of class, you can't help but smile. They may not memorize every detail from the textbook but they are, in the end, good kids.

Scroll down for the funniest teacher memes of the week and then check out this employee who cleaned the printer… with water. Then she approached IT and failed to mention she had completely soaked it.

Your daughter was baiting seagulls into the playground with gummy worms and actually caught one; Like in her arms.

    Tom Savagar @TomSavagar A thing I've started doing with my class is giving them a 'secret mission', where they have to do something and if another staff member tells me about it the whole class moves up my rewards chart.
