"it's"

Sigh

I was in the later years of elementary school when the American school system really started to become grossly underfunded.

I repeatedly heard my teacher grumbling about copy paper and lack of supplies. A coupe of times, my teacher complained to ME! Expressing how they were stressed out about not being able to get all the stuff they needed to teach and didn't mean to snap at me like that. O_O

I really felt bad for them, they couldn't do anything to stop it.

Everyone is calling out "it's" but not bough?

I never appreciated this as a kid even though there was plenty of pizza to go around for everyone back then. If any teachers are in this thread reading this comment, thank you. Thank you. It does make a difference, even if it's a small gesture.

With it is own money?

I like how the pronoun suggests that the teacher is an actual cat.

I did a pizza party for the class that made the most improvement on a benchmark test. Paid ~$100 in my own money, tried to get everyone enough for two slices. It wasn’t the right kind of pizza, they were still hungry, I didn’t get the right soda… fuck me for not dropping that cash on a fat j instead.

Our class party's were always "bring a plate" type parties - parents would give the kids a plate of something to contribute

It was the best.

My parents were both teachers, so I feel this lol

why is the meme referring to the teacher as an "it"

Been there. In my secondary school, every week a class was selected for performing well (so good feedback for behaviour and homework sort of stuff) so the class got a tenner I think. So at the end of the year when we won so many times we had about 100 quid so the teacher wanted to see what everybody wanted to do and of course the class said party. So the teacher had to plan out how to spread 100 pound on food for a class of 30 and she used her own money too. My form teacher was a legend.

"it's" - nice touch to hint at the underfunded school system

It’s? Do you mean their?

"It's"?

This feels like it could be a new indicator for the relationship between economy and education... The Pizza Party Slice Index?

Some teachers deserve all the good in the world.

Why can't good people who want to do good work get paid for their time?

The super intendant of that school district is probably a millionaire, but doesn't do any of the work.

It seems like only the shitty teachers that hate children are the ones that remain as teachers.

this hurts my heart
