We referring to teachers as "it" now?

Damn. Underpaid and dehumanized all at once. That's gotta be rough.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pfft, rest of the world should start following Finns on this and call everyone and everything 'it'! Except pets for some reason.

I know a guy who calls people "se" and things "hän"

Trap em with a bunch of nazis, minorities disproportionately penalised for minor infringements, throw in some beatings and torture and you pretty much have the American prison system!

"it's" own money? I'm assuming you meant "its" but even then your teacher is an object?

It's an ancient meme that OP didn't make. I don't know why someone in the massive chain of reposters hasn't fixed it, but I guess reposters do kinda be like dat doe.

Anyone who thinks this has never hosted a birthday party for a bunch of grade schoolers. I get enough pizza so they can have a couple of full pizza slices each, they take a few bites, then immediately go back to goofing around with their friends.

Then I have leftover pizza for a long time. XD

I think the joke is that a lot of us were little shits that didn't appreciate some of the only adults that cared to see us succeed.

True words, yet probably applies to every generation.
I have a handful of teachers who have had a great influence on my life and they were very happy that I reached out decades later to tell them so.

It's all about the intentions. Not the quantity.

For some reason those school party pizzas tasted so much better than normal

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I feel like pizza always tastes a little better in social settings. Does anyone else feel that?

i have never seen a meme this sad before

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Kid me: Pizza is pizza.

Adult me: Pizza is pizza, unless it's Papa John's.

It‘s not much but it‘s honest work!

I learned recently that teachers in my area actually make decent money. Not like.. Tech industry money, but for my area they make $30/h on the low end, $43/h median, and $52.60/h on the high end.

That's a decent living that most people don't experience. I'm sure some places are awful for teachers though.

Based on the $ ima assume you're American and probably live in a high cost of living area, they get paid that much to compensate for high prices. They're probably as poor as the rest of us.

So are we now just reposting all the old memes from reddit?

[–] jimmyjoners 3 points 1 year ago

Well I don't go to Reddit so it works for me. Down vote if you don't like it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If you look at OP's profile, that is exactly what s/he's doing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was this not the top post of all time from reddit? Huh.

[–] Selmafudd 2 points 1 year ago

It's not much.

But it's dishonest work.
