Good call, my eyes fixed that for me without me noticing.

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.
Xanthrax@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Same experience. They’re trying to turn education into a pyramid scheme.

I like how the pronoun suggests that the teacher is an actual cat.
xorollo@lemmy.world 8 months ago
We confirmed the lawyer is not a cat, but not the teacher.

With it is own money?

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.
Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 8 months ago
Potluck is always the best way to have a party, everyone contribute something.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 months ago
I remember doing “stone soup” which was kinda the same thing. There’s just one big pot of soup and everyone contributes ingredients to it.
Wes_Dev@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
Potluck with friends: Great!
Potluck with strangers: Disgusting!
aeronmelon@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Potluck is best luck!

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.
Baku@aussie.zone 8 months ago
In my primary school they did it based on the cleanest classroom. Except all we won was a $2 Freddo frog. The teachers wouldn’t let us vacuum though, and rather than just not eat inside and not make a mess, we went around with tape to pick up all the carpet crumbs

“it’s” - nice touch to hint at the underfunded school system
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 8 months ago
No capital to start the sentence, no period, “bough” instead of bought. Yep.
TBF there’s a whole separate mindset of online communication that seems to demand shitty writing and spelling, like there’s peer pressure to not do it right. One would hope in a more formal setting the writer would do better. Maybe.
Furbag@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 8 months ago
My wife and I go out of our way to try to reinforce the fact that we, as parents, very very very much appreciate their teachers. We give them Christmas cards, end of year cards, we donate gifts to them, and any time they send home a letter saying they are running low on supplies we donate something with a thank you card. Hopefully this eventually becomes apparent to the kids that they should appreciate the teachers just as much.
jeffw@lemmy.world 8 months ago
My parents were both teachers, so I feel this lol

Filthy fat cat with two thin slices
andros_rex@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
spikespaz@programming.dev 8 months ago
Unfortunately, $100 isn’t enough to satisfy varying tastes, while also leaving out no one. Aside from that, kids didn’t recognize sacrifice, nor were most of them taught the manners to say “No, but thank you.”
Honestly, I think you probably should have known.
UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Then we teach them?? They’re not gonna know if we don’t be good role models for them, but doesn’t mean they can’t learn.
hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
why is the meme referring to the teacher as an “it”
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Everyone’s so scared of pronouns now, humans are now referred to as non-sentient objects.
hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
But “it” is a pronoun too.
WhoPutDisHere@lemmynsfw.com 8 months ago
Lol’d at this. Great job.
elliot_crane@lemmy.world 8 months ago
To further dehumanize it for not buying enough pizza of course. /s
Mirodir@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
Because it’s a cat.

rmuk@feddit.uk 8 months ago
In my secondary school we were expected to address all the teachers by name so I tended to use “Er…”.
hperrin@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s? Do you mean their?
usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
it is own money. What’s so hard to understand about that? /s
Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The fact that you feel the need to put an /s at the end of a clearly sarcastic comment says everything
cheerjoy@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Teachers are subhuman now, didn’t you get the memo? /s

Nonbinary teacher, I guess?
riwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
i think u did great with ur guess of nonbinary :3
one cant really infer gender from pronouns but i think for it/its pronouns, general nonbinary is as fair a guess as agender.
just because they/them is a more commonly used pronoun for nonbinary ppl, that doesnt mean they wont use whatever other pronouns they vibe with.
(source: i use it/its and they/them)
RealFknNito@lemmy.world 8 months ago
This is one of those memes like Tom and Jerry. The whole “I sided with Jerry as a kid but now that I’m an adult, he’s kind of a piece of shit to Tom.” Wisdom isn’t inherent of age but man, to those who pay attention it can hit hard.
jettrscga@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Same with Spongebob. I understand Squidward now.

This feels like it could be a new indicator for the relationship between economy and education… The Pizza Party Slice Index?
EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
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 made me feel sad and happy for a bit. What a strange emotion…
altima_neo@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
I remember the teacher would have us bring a few bucks and wed get a slice of pizza during the pizza parties, while we watched some movie on the TV. I guess it must have been some chill out time for the teacher after a long week or something?
RandomVideos@programming.dev 8 months ago
During grades 0-4, i had a special program where i would stay at school for 8 hours, but get no homework and had a 1 hour recreation break and big eating break(not to be confused with the shorter one), where we(my class) got served food(once we received moldy bread i think). Each friday we each got a pizza.

“it’s”
Sigh
MxM111@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Judging by the picture, it’s a cat.
Hootz@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
My cat likes pizza so I’m going to agree.
Allero@lemmy.today 8 months ago
OP, the correct gender neutral pronoun is “they”, even if we talk about one person.
But generally a very solid meme!
spujb@lemmy.cafe 8 months ago
this is definitely not oc, dates back to at least aug 2020. this is also showcased by OP calling the teacher “she” while OOP hit em with the ol’ “it”
prole@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Which is always fun to point out to the bigots who lose their shit about “they/them” pronoun stuff.
spujb@lemmy.cafe 8 months ago
its not as easy to get right as some commenters suggest. the authors of the constitution got it wrong too. the error has it’s own few decades of historical precedent. 🙃
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 months ago
