Distance learning is a thing that’s still happening all over the country, and with the way things are going, it’s likely to be a part of our lives for at least the rest of the 2020-2021 school year.
While parents are struggling – to help their older kids, to be home to assist their littles, to find enough booze at the store to keep up with it all and enough hours in the day to squeeze in a good cry – teachers are bearing the brunt of the pain.
They’re trying to teach 5 and 6 year old kids over the computer. They’re teaching kids how to work the internet and learn math. They’re dealing with frustrated parents, new rules every day, the threat of a serious illness, and the fact that many of their students don’t have access to all of the necessary tools.
If that’s you, you’re definitely in need of a laugh – here are 15 jokes that might make your day just a little bit better.
15. Oh, Wednesday.
You lovely, lovely day.
14. It was a beautiful time.
Hopefully it will come again some day.
13. Teachers are going to have a new resume entry at the end of this.
