1. Happy New Years! New Year, Same Students.
Every teacher can relate to this meme. Students are why people become educators. As much as teachers like to see their favorite students in the New Year, some students need a change.
2. When You Can’t Fully enjoy New Year’s because school is starting tomorrow.
Vacations are the best and most well-deserved for educators. Most would like a few more extended breaks, however.
3. How I imagined myself as a teacher; how I feel as a teacher…
Teachers have stories for days of how they started in the profession to where they are now. It’s not easy and will not be any more effortless in the job. As this meme suggests, at least teachers are learning skills they can take into a new career.
4. New Year’s Resolutions: Recover from winter break, look Forward to Spring Break, and make it to Summer Break.
5. Teachers pleading with the clock to stay at 11:59 PM on New Year’s Eve.
Many people can relate to this one. No matter how hard people try, time will continue to move forward. No amount of sincerity in Puss-in-Boots eyes is going to stop. But this meme can make anyone’s heart melt.
6. Not sure whether to be happy because it’s New Year or sad because break is almost over
Breaks are conflicting to the soul at times. After all the work, teachers deserve their breaks. And holidays are very refreshing when they come. Yet, the sooner a break comes, the sooner it’s over. This funny image conveys the feeling.
7. Teachers, at 12:01 AM New Year’s Night, Hold on to your butts.
A person’s mind switches gears once that clock hits midnight. Many teachers are back in the classroom in a day or two and have to wear their multilayered hats.
8. Let’s be serious here, people. I just wanna survive until Spring Break.
One of the few perks of a teacher is the many breaks that occur throughout the school year. New teachers, the best teachers, always look forward to the next holiday or the last day of school. Breaks from school have their calendar, and teachers monitor them closely as checkpoints to the end of the year.
9. My New Year’s Resolution: Pray for a snow day every day.
A snow day is a magical event for both students and teachers. Not so much for parents!
10. When another teacher tells me they’re “so” ready to go back to school.
Some teachers are excited to get back to the classroom. Breaks and vacations are there for teachers to recharge. Thankfully some teachers do have a hankering to get back to school. For other teachers, they are like, “not me.” We get it.
If our list of fun memes doesn’t quite hit the mark, maybe you might want to send some personalized messages to your co-workers…
