These Tweets Are Proof There’s No Tired Like “Teacher Tired” Before Winter Break

Only 1 week left of school until the long-awaited winter break arrives. It’s all about crowd control until then and “teacher tired” is at an all-time high. But don’t take our word for it, here’s the proof on Twitter…

1.

Just checked my stash – I have *4* unsharpened pencils left (and they’re Ticonderogas!!), and 5.5 days until #winterbreak. Can I make it without a trip to Staples before next Friday?? ?✏️

Student absent from last class: “Did I miss anything?”

Me: …*reflective silence…

Me: “Nah bro. We were so distraught by your absence that we watched a TedTalk about how to handle loss and then played checkers for the remainder of the class.” #TeacherLife

Studying a novel with 3rd years, that has an elderly man.
Student: “I wonder what it’s like to be old”
Me: ‘yea it must be very hard for people!’
Student: “no Miss, I’m asking you. You’re old. So, what’s it like to be old?”

One of my kiddos today:
“This book is black and white like from the olden days.”
Me: “Huh?!”
S: “You know, like in the 80’s when there was no color!”
Me: ?”I’m from the 80’s” ?
S: “Wowwwwww!”

In life they say if you pick up a piece of garbage off the ground and throw it away, it’s good karma.

So … I wonder what picking up pencils does? How many of them did you pick up today? #teachertwitter #shrinkthelist #teacher #education #WednesdayVibes pic.twitter.com/4sMju0yqhE
