LAUGH
The last 3 to 4 months have been a whirlwind for teachers. We went from preparing for our end of the year festivities (in between test prepping, of course) to the longest long weekend of our educational careers. When schools were closed down for 2 weeks, and then another 2 weeks, and then the rest of the school year, the emotional rollercoaster that our life already was got transformed into an emotional rocketship orbiting into an unknown universe. Between homeschooling our own kids, transforming into remote teachers overnight, being quarantined at home for months, and now having NO CLUE what’s in store for school in the fall, we’re all feeling a little lost in space, still orbiting, just with toilet paper back in stock.
Here are a few teachers on Twitter sharing their space expedition experiences.

3. Easy peasy!
Admin in 2020: please be prepared to teach online, in person, both simultaneously, on a moving train, while juggling, in a burning building, under the sea, during a wrestling match with a T-Rex, as a hologram, and riding a unicorn. Also be safe and we value you.

4. *insert gag noise*
Officials who say schools can open by passing out a handful of masks and hand sanitizer, have clearly never had a student sneeze in their mouth. #TeacherLife #GermsGalore #ReopenSafely

8. “Zoom headache”
Watching 16 little boxes with 16 little people moving all over constantly while trying to teach really just makes me so dizzy #teacherproblems

14. Gee, thanks.
Congratulations teachers! You survived the most insane, bizarre, year ever and overcame the craziest of obstacles. Your reward is budget cuts and layoffs.
