Gotta love that the meme is pointing out how under appreciated the teacher is but then refers to the teacher as “it”.
The disrespect is real.
If I had to guess, the meme was probably made by someone who likely has English as a secondary language. I doubt there was any disrespect intended.
Playing devil’s advocate here: maybe they were trying to be inclusive by not specifiying gender but haven’t heard of they. The US education system is a joke in a lot of places so the (hypothetical) teacher may have to think twice before suggesting they change the it’s to their. But hey, at least the apostrophe is where it should be and I’d take that as a win for education.
But there shouldn’t be an apostrophe there… it’s = it is, its = posessive.
The neat part about the internet being that do this on purpose to generate comments.
The other neat part is people are lazy and some suck at English or barely speak it lol.
Maybe they aren’t from the US ?
I used to prostitute myself in class for people’s slices
Sex buys
a slice a suck I used to say
First I was mad, then I was sad.
It’s
Oof
I volunteered at a summer camp in college and we had a $30 budget to feed 15 kids + 1.
I bought four Little Caesars $5 dollar pizzas, some dollar store big sodas, and had enough money for big bags of chips.
We made it work! 😭
It’s.
their
it’s
Haha what?
legit I’ve had people get angry at me for using “they” the same way everyone normally does
I think it tastes better this size I will fight you on this
No, there’s definitely a science to this. It’s the same reason sandwiches taste better if you cut them in a triangle. The sharp points make for the perfect bite size.
um actually square sandwiches taste nicer 🤓
Growing up, my mom always, always cut my sandwiches in half to make two rectangles. I asked her why at some point, and she said when she was growing up, her mother always cut her sandwiches into triangles, and she hated it. So when she moved out, she basically vowed to only cut sandwiches into rectangles.
I hated the rectangles growing up, and cut all of mine into two triangles now that I’m on my own. 😆 Funny how the world works, hahaha
And one day your child will grow and cut theirs into rectangle, the circle of sandwich life continues.
PersonallyI I cut mine into irregular polyhedrons.
I think I’ve seen this same “meme” reposted several hundred times. On top of this a meme is supposed to incite laughter. I’m failing to see what’s comedic about this?
First time I’ve seen it.
I don’t think memes have to evoke laughter.
It’s funny because it’s true, which makes me incredibly sad. I’m talking about real teachers, who are degreed and actually care about their students.
I tell you wot m8 I’m going download this bloody image and place it into google search images and then I’ll have a gander and see how many similar posts there are
Ooh would you look at that aye
I don’t no what your bloody banging on bout don’t look like a repost to me
Hey here’s an actually funny joke non this weak shite m8 (if you have a good sense of humour) what’s the difference between a dead hooker and blow or Lamborghini
Go on guess the punchline.
We got all day at this rate
There could be 10 million, but it wouldn’t change the fact it is new to me.
That said I don’t really spend a lot of time looking at memes rkid.
That said I don’t really spend a lot of time looking at memes
And? Me neither
Clearly more than me. If you’ve seen this on so frequently.
I’ve only seen this a couple of times but I recognize it
I don’t think you know what “meme” means… it doesn’t mean “thing that gets posted once and never again” actually it means the exact opposite
Maybe you look at too many memes?
I’m glad that my nephew’s teacher last year sent out a message to allow family to donate to those parties. I’ve paid for a few.
I’m also sad that it has come to that.
Much love for these teachers. They are not paid nearly enough. I hate the corporate pizza party, but not the public school one.
Edit: I wonder if the difference in financial burden between a corporate pizza party and a public school one is a good metric
In my country they are not underpaid but overpaid. Govt just pay them for sitting in class and eating in canting(More than Avg Income)
What country
India
I think the “underpaid teacher” thing isn’t necessarily rooted in reality,. especially outside of the US. My wife is a teacher in the UK, and she’s a head of her subject. For many years her pay was similar to mine as a software engineer, but everyone often treated her as if she was poor and that I was rich.
In Australia I don’t think teachers are underpaid, but schools are absolutely underfunded. Which can often mean teachers end up spending personal money on school resources, which means their actual effective pay isn’t as good as it looks from the outside.
They also work way longer hours than is reflected in their contract.
I’d like to introduce you to eastern europe
Or France
French teachers get payed more than 2000€ not ~500€ (still low but you can get by)
I just looked for secondary school teacher jobs in Manchester and they start at $30k for some. Many had day rates. Less than a labourer would get.
Its. Teacher is a cat, this checks out.
Someone needs to teach me this trick of buying pizza with the pizza’s own money.
“Dominoes hates this one weird trick.”
No, you see the joke is that teachers aren’t people.
I think the joke is teachers are Italian but I don’t get this joke it’s too sophisticated for me
Do a curbside pickup. Get there early. Park somewhere out of view. Wait for your order to get marked ready then count to 20 to give them enough time to put the tablet down and get to working on other pizzas. Then check yourself in.
This is why there are spaces clearly marked for curbside pickup. If you’re not in one of the designated spaces and try to pull this you will not get free food.
Don’t you usually pay ahead of time for curbside pickup?
They’re saying that if you time it right, they won’t get/hear the notification that you’ve checked in and you can slide into the right spot. Wait awhile and then you’ll get refunded because you were “waiting so long”
Which it can work TBH, it just won’t be a reliable method by any means
The apostrophe actually makes it a contraction, not possessive. So they’re really saying “the underpaid teacher who bought it with it is own money”. I know not everyone cares, but that’s how our weird language works…
You can do this with the amazing power of gun and balaclava.
Oh, it wasn’t bought… It was bough
And, to this day, I still crave that super thin wedge of pizza once in a while.
They’re good for those times when, you know, you want to eat 2,000 of something.
